Re: Can't believe i found my stolen kit on a local forum!!!
I'd talk directly to a detective, mountie, wtfever you guys have up there, and discreetly see exactly how interested the police are in doing their job. If you get the brush off, go bust some ------- heads. If the police are interested, explain how performance turbos are wear items and get BLAAST to give you a quote on something hideously expensive and try to make the douchelord thief buy you a minty fresh turbo.
Good luck... you may not have found the thief - yet! - but you've definitely found a local fence. These guys are local to you, you all know each other to some extent, more than one person along the way has known this was your kit. Play things fast and close for right now, but as soon as you've found out everything you can then go make a post on your local forum. It'll embarrass the local reseller (if he didn't steal it, or intentionally buy a stolen setup) into paying closer attention to what passes through his hands.
I have two local guys who deal in *anything* they can resell, one is an out and out fence and the other has found out twice he purchased (and resold) stolen items and hunted down the original owners to make things right with them. It's nice to know that decent people exist.

I completely agree w/JD. See what chance you have w/the police helping you first. Otherwise make this happen quick.
If you do call the guy out online, make sure you post his address and pics of his house

I would make sure you get your parts back in your possession ASAP before he either sells it to someone else or gets nervous and decides not to sell to you. Just show up with friends and DO NOT kick his ***, although it may be hard not to, you want to do this LEGALLY. Either way, go get your parts from him ASAP and get whatever info he has.
