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.
