    lol...that's a good plan. We need to go bust that guys door down and confiscate his Polks. It may take a little time to get all those stickers off of them...but I think they have a chance of being rehabilitated.:p

    Seriously though, I imagine all that stuff is easily fixed. Someone can just peel off the stickers and remove any sticky residue that remains and if he did something to the midrange drivers they can probably be replaced.
