Re: Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE: 9-26
Here is the latest Update.
I received pm from Artek with address and item he was scammed out of, so I forwarded that info to Mitchell. Here was the response:
"Sorry for the delay in emails, been away for work. Unfortunately Artek's stuff was sold, but I do still have the clone suit owed, if you would like me to supply photos of his items when I take photos of Brad's let me know."
So I replied to include photos of Brad's and the owed suit. I figure, he may have sold the item Artek sent, but hopeful we can get back the Clone suit that he promised in trade. It is not the item stolen, but maybe it can alleviate the sting of the initial loss a bit.
I will keep posted if I get any updates on photos or shipping.

I'm not surprised to hear he sold some of the stuff off. As I said before, when this last came up, we were told he had sold everything.
I really do hope some of you get back your things, but I will not be at all surprised if nothing good comes of this. It is worth trying though.

I did a quick search on Google, and this guy really has a "reputation". Not only in prop related stuff, it seeems. These are a few of the results that came up:
Warning : Mitchell Laine : Fraud on the 105th..
Parts Watch - Skylines Australia
ALERT: Mitchell Laine
Beware!
Let's hope he really wants to change his life... We'll see...
Correct would be: "I sold it, but I'll buy the item back, whatever it may cost, and send it back to you"

Ok, an email just came through from Mitchell:
"Photos of brads and arteks stuff will be sent shortly. And items will be posted by friday. Just have been away for work and havent.had a chance to do so yet. And I dont blame people for being sceptical, they have every right to im just trying to do whats right."
I am not sure what all the delays are about, it really makes me think this is a waste of time and that he is just dragging his feet delaying something... Perhaps trying to delay any legal action against him?? I am not sure, but I still feel it is worth trying to get you guys something back.
As soon as the pics get sent I will post them.
Thanks,
Rich

I still think legal action should be taken even if he sends any of the stuff back, we already know he sold some of it.
If you rob a bank, they don't drop the charges just because you have some sort of remorse and give the money back when you get caught.

Re: Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE: 10-4-2011
exactly.... and if he were smart, he would ship back all that he could or cash to cover the sold items. It might look better to a judge to see he made an attempt to rectify his wrong-doings and lesson the charges or at least the sentence. This may not make legal repercussions go away, but his cooperation could make things a WHOLE lot easier on him in the long run.

Re: Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE: 10-5-2011
I put a little pressure to ship all items by Friday and I just got a response:
"I cant say anything more than ill try. I very much doubt that I will
be able to afford to have everything sent off by Friday but I can try.
Attached photos are for Brad and Roy (Artek)."
I will need to upload the photos for Brad and Roy to see, when I get to my computer tomorrow. I am on my phone and in bed at the moment.

Re: Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE: 10-5-2011
Maybe it's not a good idea to put too much pressure on this guy. He might block every communication if pressure is too high. Give him the chance to sent out just one item (or a few items) as a start. If he does this, we can be sure he isn't trying to fool everybody. After that, agreements on other items can be made so eventually everybody gets their stuff back.
I'm not one of his "victims", but if I was, I'd rather have my items back within a month, than try to force him in sending it right now and risking loosing it because he "collapse" (or how do you say this in English?)

Re: Mitchell Laine situation UPDATE: 10-5-2011
Ah yes. But I have been speaking to a lawyer in Australia. I have given him all the info I have gathered on Mitchell and he is willing to take on the case. I have the photos of the armor that Mitchell sent to Rich. The attorney is waiting for my go ahead with prosecuting Mitchell. He did some digging on Mitchell and found that there is definitely enough evidence to charge him with international mail fraud which carries a 10 year sentence. Just waiting for my armor now.
