Stolen fog light covers.....

Ok,
Let me just tell you all about my plan.
As you know my STI fog lights covers got stolen from my driveway about 2 weeks ago. Week later I made a post on craigslist saying that I'm converting my wrecked WRX front end to STI and need fog covers. Specifically I mentioned that I need silver ones and I live in Elk Grove
2 days ago someone texted me offering 3 sets of covers, blue and silver with STI decals on them and white - without. I was like OK, can I check them out? He said, yea man, you can stop by now, just one question - where are you coming from? I said - Elk Grove, he said- ok. So I got directions and hit the road. On the way he texted me that he has some emergency and had to go but his mom is gonna show me the covers. That was suspicious. When I arrived he wasn't there. Of course the white covers were mine, how many 04/05 Subies around are painted Hammer White? I explained everything to his mom, she gave me my property back then called him and told to be back home immediately. He got home quickly, very embarassed, apologized to me. Parents said that they are gonna take care of him.
I could knock his front teeth out just like some of you suggested but believe me, it wasn't worth it. Karma is a b!tch and someday will get him anyways.
I got my parts back
I'm glad it wasn't a fellow Subaru owner, just some emo kid.
CASE CLOSED

Wow this is terrible.
You know its gotta be some 04-05 wrx/sti owner too since something like that would be useless on anything else.
Hope you see them pop up on someones car or Craigslist.
Also hope you beat the retards that took them to a bloody pulp.
If you keep you car outside I strongly suggest some sort of video surveilance as well. Seen a setup with a couple cameras for like 100 bux at costco a while ago.

Phil, chill. I wasn't yelling at anyone, and all I did was clean up what came after my post - no offense or harm intended, and I didn't go nuking everything else in the thread, including earlier posts by yourself and others. I know you were probably typing at the same time. Not a big deal.
We're all passionate about our cars - trust me, I get the sentiment - just don't want anything blowing back on any of you guys or the site.
When in doubt (and this goes for everyone*), remember that your post history on the public internet is searchable in many different ways - think about how your words would be perceived by someone without context - because that's what happens when companies do background checks, search for interviews, etc. Don't throw things like vigilante justice out there if you don't want it public knowledge
* Except for Thomas, he's safe. Noone has a chance in hell of rifling through that many posts

Besides not knowing who the dude was it would have been safer in that respect.
Glad everything worked out and you got your covers back, hope the owners of the other two sets get theirs back too.
