Stuart Queripel Posted June 25, 2012 Share Yes, i got arrested today... or should i say had a rather nasty experience involving a police man, Garmin Employee and a Garmin Edge 705 i bought from a chap last year May who worked for Fritz Pienaar Pretoria... I now am no longer the owner of "my" Garmin and I'm out of pocket what i paid for it... Its very disappointing... There was no way of me knowing that it was stolen merchandise... I even took it to the Garmin agents a few week after i bought it for them to put some new maps on for me... Over a year later and I'm hauled over the coals for buying stolen merchandise.... Sad DAY!

scotty Posted June 25, 2012 Share I'm assuming you registered the maps and that's how they had your details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Posted June 25, 2012 Share That is bull, how did they prove it was a stolen unit in the first place? And how did they trace it to you ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Queripel Posted June 25, 2012 Share That is bull, how did they prove it was a stolen unit in the first place? Â It was only reported stolen on the Garmin system in August 2011 - i bought it in May! So when i went to upgrade software today they zapped me!!!

covie Posted June 25, 2012 Share That is bull, how did they prove it was a stolen unit in the first place? Its a GPS its got an ID and if you post your stuff on garminconnect they can track your start locations so all you need to do is start from your house once. My question is how the hell did someone get garmin to actually comply with an investigation.

Stuart Queripel Posted June 25, 2012 Share The investigation is ongoing... The chap that i bought it from swears that he never stole it - he got it from a customer. All i want is my name cleared and my money back... Tiny K 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
