Facebook Marketplace to sell a $15K watch.
And in the safety and privacy of his own home (safe and private for the thief that is).

Really?

Reminds me of this:

"Social media has taught me
that there are some incredibly
brilliant people in the world.
And that they are vastly outnumbered."

15k for a DJ? That's robbery right there.

But I can easily see myself falling for the same trick. Thanks for the reminder to be vigilant. If this hadn't been at his house it might have been easier for the crook because there would have been even more distractions. The crook wasn't looking at the camera and had that mask pulled up to his eyeballs. Fucker.

At the end he had a $5000 private home magic show ::rimshot:: That seems still to be a lot though.

I’ll see myself out.

Rather igneous to be fair. It's like buying a DeWalt drill off the travellers, trying out the drill, all works. They pack it in the box and then you look at it again when they have left only to find your left with only a carcass of a drill, unworkable of course.

Well, give the guy credit. He did a dumb thing and went public with it to warn others.

Agreed. Takes guts to admit when you’ve been victimized and to share your experience with others in the hope that they won’t fall for the same scam. As for the perpetrator, I hope that he is caught and that justice is swift and severe. I have zero tolerance for these predators. They have no sense of decency or morality and belong in a cage.

Meh, it's probably just Canadian money. ::stirthepot::

Even if it was just an envelope full of grocery store coupons, that’s likely worth more than $15k these days

Yep. Just let a masked stranger into your home for a multi thousand dollar cash/watch transaction. Ridiculous.

Dang, that’s a disappointing story
There really are some ******* out there - most likely was at this for years. We all need to be ultra vigilant.

And he's been on PAID suspension since February 2022, nice work if you can get it.

It’s actually the law here in Ontario, but it is changing...slightly.

Right now in Ontario, as a police officer you have to be convicted of an offense and imprisoned in order to be suspended without pay. Even if you were convicted of a crime, if you weren't imprisoned, you still had to be paid - at least until they fired you. It's completely ridiculous, because if they appealed the job termination, they could be suspended with pay for years, collecting a salary while they dragged out the process.

As of April 1, the new regulations come in, and a chief can suspend an officer without pay in some other limited circumstances. They can be suspended without pay if they are in custody or on bail conditions that would prevent them from doing their duties. They can also be suspended without pay if the officer is charged with an offence that is serious enough to lead to their firing, but there's a catch. This would only apply to offences committed while off duty, so any on-duty offence that they were charged with that could lead to them being fired, they still get paid while on suspension.

In this case, it seems that the thefts happened while on duty, so most likely nothing would change for this gem of a cop under the new regulations.
