Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

First of all, as I stated at the beginning of my post, I agree with you. There is no need to call into question my morals, ethics, or integrity.
Second: you bring up a valid point when you ask "something you knew DID NOT belong to the person selling it to you"
By legal definition "receiving stolen property" is:
Receiving stolen goods is generally buying or acquiring the possession of property knowing (or believing in some jurisdictions) that it had been obtained through theft, embezzlement, larceny, or extortion by someone else. The crime is separate from the crime of stealing the property. To be convicted, the receiver must know the goods were stolen at the time he receives them and had the intent to aid the thief.
Third: Until your "contract" is validated by a legal authority, the courts for example, it is still your word against his. You said yourself that the detective that talked to him said that he accused you of breach of contract. Which leads us back to my original statement that this is really a civil matter. Don't take my word for it though, contact the prosecutor in Kansas and ask him to issue a warrant for his arrest based on your contract and let us know how that goes....

Laura,
Anyone who does aquire them in any way is guilty of receiving stolen property. I have a hunch one or both of them have already been sent to a good friend of Mark. I wont say the name until I have proof, but when I do get proof everyone will know.

Sorry, I do not. I will ask a good friend if they snapped a pic of it though, if so I will email it to you.

I'm not questioning you at all just making a statement.
I also want to clarify, there is not a contract between Mark and I for this breeding. We had a contract for his male to be bred to my female. No contract or agreement ever happened in regard to my male being bred to my female. I was never informed this happened until well after Mark had already done it.
As far as theft by receiving goes aquiring possession of something known to you to be stolen is theft by receiving. You dont have to have the intent to aid the thief for it to be that.
Thank you for you information.

You know, just a thought. Obviously Mark is still doing shows. If someone had the time, I reckon they could notify the show organizers and let them know not just of this situation but the numerous other one's that Mark is involved in. If I was an organizer, I would not want this type of individual to have a table at my show. Anyways, just a thought for anyone out there with time to kill.

The SIGNED contract
Here is the signed contract. I hope this helps everyone to see why we feel these animals are STOLEN.
Nowhere on there does it say anything about OUR male motley being bred to OUR female snow.

The show being referenced in the Kansas City Reptile Show. Jason Cruse (member name here is GoLizards) is the organizer. I did not realize that LocoLizards was still vending at this show or I would have attended (after seeing if your t-shirts were still available) ...
