    What about the "damage"? Are you sure it's yours? Are you sure he didn't swap parts with another one?

    The serial numbers match, and I am pretty sure the faceplate is the same, but it looks like a scotchbright pad was used on it in some places. He appeared to be one step shy of Howard Hughes, so I think he may have been trying clean it up for whatever reason and messed it up. I will get a new faceplate and just put it in my rack for the occasional disc I spin, but to be honest, I have not listened to anything but FLAC since I put everything on hard drives.

    Glad you got your player back John. Waaaayyyyy too much s*it involved, however. Glad you are safe, and your player is back in the rightful owner's hands (yours).

    Keep a watchful eye out "just in case" he decides to "retaliate". I doubt he will, however.

    Taken from a recent Audioholics reply regarding "Club Polk" and Polk speakers:
    "I'm yet to hear a Polk speaker that merits more than a sentence and 60 seconds discussion." :\
    My response is: If you need 60 seconds to respond in one sentence, you probably should't be evaluating Polk speakers.....

    Congrats. You are for fortunate the officers assisted, often they take the position that it’s a civil matter and don’t get involved especially with budget cuts. Glad it worked out well for you. It’s unfortunate it had to get that far.

    Before you drop the $ on a new face plate, try some car polish/wax. I've seen some amazing turn around on anodized aluminum

    All's well that ends well, but you should have at least made up some stuff about the K-9 going bonkers and eating him.

    Glad you got the player back. I've been furious since I first read this thread. What a D Bag. You handled it the right way. I've got a pretty short temper & would have been tempted to go ballistic on him. As it is, I'd like to long distance jimmy kick the guy for you!

    Did you go up to the door with the police officers, or were you just watching from a distance and then they told you what he said?

    Nice. I like how he changed his tune when he saw the LEOs. What a punk. "Could've just called me" yeah sure buddy.

    Glad you got your Krell back from this lunatic scammer.
