Starts out a great idea, but the more it grows there's potential for abuse. Thieves could use it to frame innocent people...

What a fabulous idea.
There are so many smart people out there, and so many information based holes that just need filling that the potential is vast.
This will be big. Wait till ebay signs on.
I love the clever and have been waiting for a simple idea like this, but my brain just won't kick one out... yet.

I'm not impressed. Most stolen merchandise moves on the street between people who couldn't care less if it's on a website.
There's also only a small chance that anything you search for is listed, even if it is stolen.

I went for a look and found 1 cell phone listed and 1 mountain bike and, ready, 11 chainsaws! (I would be VERY worried if I had a fear of chainsaw murderers.) Everything else I typed in came back 'zero'. Either this is a very honest country or they haven't had many customers yet.
A prize (a hearty pat on the back) if you can find a third, fourth, or fifth item listed (not counting the chainsaws). (No fair paying to list your own item and then claiming the prize!) This could be a fun game to play at a dull party.
Since the guy seems to run a rental place, there should be some other tools on there, but I am going to bed. Happy hunting.

I wonder if I can list my stolen innocence on that site. It was taken from me a long, long time ago...

Where are they going to report it when some hacker hijacks their site?

Our local police recently busted a meth-head for stealing a lawn mower. He lead them to thirty eight (38) other mowers that he had stolen, then sold; some of which were sold to neighbors of his victimms. He'd pick one up from an open garage or backyard, run it up the street a couple of doors, and sell it for as little as ten bucks.
His sad story was that he had just been freed from prison and had to have a means to "earn" some ready cash.
