About a week and a half ago, I opened the front door of my house and found a dozen of Cnetral Ohio's finest in the front yard. My first thought was "Ha, you guys are at the wrong house!" And then the closest one says...
"Are you Jon Williams II?"
"Why, yes I am."
"Could you step out of the house, please? We have a warrant to search the premises."
SO I step out, my wife grabs the baby and the four year old and she steps out. A couple of sheriffs deputies that I know from around the property tell me that the detective will tell me what's going on when he gets done searching. He comes out and tells me they found what they were looking for. I ask him what it was, and he tells me that it's the laptop I just got three weeks before. Asks me how I came to be in posession of it and I tell him I traded a set of 18" Enkei RS6 wheels for it. Then he tells me that it was stolen from the Ohio Department of Health and has a tracking device in it.
They had been mining data everytime I went online, and were going to serve a warrant on my old address (gleaned from data on the laptop when I loaded some old images on it) and on the way there, they RECOGNIZED MY COUPE sitting in front of my new house, so they went and got a new search warrant for the new place. I gave them a description of the guy that traded me, and tried to give them the last email I sent to him about the trade, which had all the emails between us in it. It also had his name and phone number. And my friggin desktop took a shit.
SO now, I have a bunch of cops in the living room. I want them to believe me, but I can't offer them any evidence. And I just bought a new cell phone, so I can't give them his number from that.
They didn't arrest me, and I finally got to give the detective the email, but I'm out a laptop and my wheels.
Oh, and I just got a new laptop from a legit place. lol
