  Would it be a bad idea to try and buy any sketchy Audeze headphones, and see if the product serial number matches one that was stolen, and then use the sale details to find who it is?

Find out the serial number before making a purchase or you may find yourself in possession of stolen goods.

yup - because then the police are entitled to confiscate it and you lose all your money with no hope of compensation.

Theft on this scale is not something law enforcement puts on the top of the list. You would pretty much have to solve the case yourself and then hand if over to the authorities. Sure, they will file a report and create a file, but at this point unless the whole head-fi community and Audeze themselves were to expend all their time and resources to try and break the case (which would require luck and probably some damaging false accusations in the process), it's pretty much over and done.

Not trying to upset anyone, as I'm a new guy to this forum, but as a former business owner who has had stuff stolen and his business broken into, I'm less than optimistic that this will ever get resolved.

I will say though that I bet the people who did do this aren't aware of the head-fi community and I am impressed with amount of heart you all have. I'm glad to have joined the forum.

If you watched the video you can tell this was not the robbers first rodeo. They were professionals, and I would think law enforcement would put a lot of effort into getting these guys off the street.

They could also charge you for receiving stolen goods especially if you knew or had a reasonable suspicion that they were stolen.

The best thing you can do if you see something suspicious posted is to report it to Audeze and let them follow up along with the police.
 
Don't try to help by buying it, that's not helping at all, and it could get you in trouble.
 
Don't post it here - in a public forum, where the person doing the selling could easily read it, pull their ad and a chance to potentially catch someone is lost.
 
Everyone wants to see them caught and Audeze hopefully get back some of the gear that was stolen... support them by sending those type of tips privately.

That is exactly what I thought ... after I pressed submit and I don't know how to remove the message. Tried to edit it but can't remove it completely.

"Hey guys take a look at this:  http://www.canuckaudiomart.com/details/649189018-new-audeze-lcd2-rosewood-w-fazor/  what do you think ? 3 new pairs for sale looks kinda weird doesn't it ? Anyways I sent it to Audeze just in case ..."
 
Hi there,
 
I had a look at the ad from the above posting and this guy has the same CAM handle name as his email address, as I was looking for a pair of used LCD-2s rosewood in January.  We agreed on the price and where to meet, and then poof, he disappeared....now he's back with 3 pairs.  Something's fishy from my humble point of view.  During my email interactions with him, he did email me some photos of some bonafide LCD-2s.
