    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Mobiussweet the Steeler

picked up the snakes from a guy named stewart who always has balls for sale
Who is this person, "stewart"? Where/how does he sell or advertise balls, is local to you Alec? Have a forum ID for him?
 
I don't post on these things because most of you don't know me very well, but one thing I cannot stand is a theif. Especially one that is willing to take living creatures. I have been robbed twice now and I can honestly say that I would let you take my tv and whatever else, but if you take my dog, snake, or goldfish then I promise that if I'm still breathing; you will not be. I would take this and make flyers to post in the streets, all over facebook, and call the local news.

If someone stole my stuff I would want them to come back! There would be some serious consequences!! Hope you can get some kind of justice!

Brad, I couldn't agree more!

OP, I agree that this is terrible and that, hopefully, you wouldn't post this without evidence, but at this point the lack of evidence is hurting you. Post the Reports and the pics...please.

Alec, you really should think before you type things that will hurt you and your own sales.
 
dude i just picked up the snakes from a guy named stewart who always has balls for sale but he never breeds i picked them all up for 350

1. fire. 1normal 1.1 mojave

1. How can it be that someone always has snakes for sale but doesn't breed?
2. That price for those snakes screams honesty. Nothin' shady at all about $350 for those 4.
 
Sparky you really need to post the proof of filing a police report or this topic is dead. As he said/he said is not gonna fly here. I truly understand the frustration but you cant call people out publically without being able to back it up. Im sorry while your pictures raise eyebrows it is far from proof of a theft occuring. If you show the report that gives your side great credability.
 
The last time I had any contact with him was December 29,2010 before I found out my snakes went missing. So there is no way he could have known my snakes were missing, until today.


So a couple days after December 29 you discovered the snakes missing, okay. Thanks.

There is no way WHO could have known your snakes were missing till today. Who is the "he" in your quote above?
 
I posted that I filed a police report to attempt causing a little fear to avoid any more attempts of coming back to my house. So there is no police report. I didn't have any evidence then. I was devastated to se my snakes gone. With all my grief the last thing I wanted to was to deal with the police. I know it was stupid on my part not to! I know this is going to make me look bad, but I was. Only trying to keep my family and property safe. That is very important to me. He was the only person who knew that I had ball morphs that knows were I live. A comon thief would not break in to a garage full of stuff and only take ball python morphs. So call me a liar if you would for making up a fake robbery. There is no reason why I would make this all up just to give him a bad rep. Or is there?
So I'm just going to stop now until I find more evidence.
Thank you for all your comments. I will keep them in mind for the future.
Thanks again!!!!
ps. I have not received any calls from him today.
 
:bandhead0 Oh man....... So do you have ANY evidence that it was Alec that stole the snakes? I am sorry but without evidence of some sort there is really nothing for us to go on. If you can post the evidence that Deb was asking for earlier in the thread, that will help. Do you have anything that links you to the mojave other than a picture, without a date?
 
Call me an A hole but the way I see it right now is you made a whole lot of mistakes that you hopefully won't make again. For one you shouldn't ever bring someone to your house to see your snakes that you don't trust with your life unless you have some kind of security (I have an alarm system but I still don't openly invite people to come see my snakes) secondly you should always do a police report. Thats the dumbest thing I've ever heard that you were too devastated to deal with the police. You just gave them all the reason to rob you again. Oh cool this guy won't call the cops lets go back and steal everything in his house! If your not going to protect your things then no one else is either.
 
Marcos ...

I'm gonna ask again because even I couldn't make sense of what I wrote the first time ...

The last time I had any contact with him was December 29,2010 before I found out my snakes went missing. So there is no way he could have known my snakes were missing, until today.

WHO could not have known your snakes were missing till today??

Marcos Garcia, you have lied. And while we see your name at the bottom of the screen, you are choosing not to respond.

Mr. Sweet has apparently had some run-ins with members here, I see that. But that does not automatically make him guilty of any misdoing you choose to post.

Marcos Garcia, you have not yet showed anyone else guilty of anything, but you have lied to the very audience you are trying to persuade. I would not do business with you.

When you're honest you won't get caught in lies or have to explain why you lied which only discredits your truth.
 
Hold on a minute there tiger.
They went missing on December 29 th

So your snakes went missing a month ago and you just now report them missing to fauna a month later????

You've been a member since:
Join Date: Jun 2010

Your snakes went missing on December 29th and you're just now having a snit fit about it seeing them for sale by the supposed thief????

Something stinks here and it aint the snake crap.

I'm sorry but if my snakes were stolen you can sure as hell bet my booty would be on this website posting about them missing IMMEDIATELY!!! Not wait a month later to accuse someone then have ZERO proof of it other then photos that you at one time owned them. I'm sorry Marcos but you've screwed yourself and definitely don't have a leg to stand on whether the theft is true or not. I'm guess it isn't even possible because you waited a month to even bring it to light.

Bury the hatchet on this one folks. After a month of the snakes missing there probably wasn't a theft just an irritated seller that his snakes are being resold. Isn't that right Marcos?????

But hey ........................ maybe I'm wrong.
 
I have to agree that if my animals were stolen, SOMEBODY would certainly know about it, whether it be the police, the BOI, the local vendors, herp friends/family.
I certainly would not shrug my shoulders and say "shite happens"! Also, if I suspected someone I had done business/trade with had stolen from me, I would certainly call or contact them immediately ... I would not retreat quietly; men more than women know that defense is the answer to a weak offense. (Which is why my animals are not in my garage, I have large dogs with attitudes and large teeth and two security fences around my property, lol.)

The OP lied about the police report he claimed he had filed. He has no photos of the animals he claimed were stolen, except for the Mojave male. Odd.

The OP orginally said:
The normal my cousin found it when he was looking at the ball python forums. My causin takes pics of all his snakes and this normal he had for a few days so he took some pics of it. This link shows the snake that they bought from Alec and more down my cousin put pics of my snake before it got stolen and if you look at the stripes you can see that it's the same snake
However, if you look at the thread, it makes no sense. If the snake was stolen on 12-29 (as the OP claimed when I asked twice), why did Orlando Flores (the OP's cousin) post photos saying it is the normal he has on 1-23-11? A month after the alleged theft?

Why would the OP's cousin not respond in outrage at seeing his stolen snake posted as a purchase from the thief a month later?
1-23-11 - "Orlandoflor", Orlando Flores posts pics of the "normal that I have"

Is there something I ain't getting here? Please correct me if I'm way out in left field.
Frankly, at this point both the OP and Alec Sweet are people I will avoid.
