If and only if, that Badge is reported stolen then you as the unknowing recpient can lose that Badge as having stolen merchandise in your possesion!

What happens if that is found out? You Ask?

You lose the Badge! You can but more than likely not be prosecuted. You are the Dupe who purchased it in good faith!

But if you knowingly bought it as stolen merchandise, Yep at the cost of Badges it is a felony and you can and will go to Jail!

It is a do not pass go situation!

I know we all want to save our Badges, but I think as I put on before wptw has a lot to say to the GCers about what to look for if you will listen!

I have talked to him via land line and have a lot of respect for him for what I heard and what he has put on site for knowledge pasted on to us!

Thanx wptw for your insight!

I think I can speak from experience as wrote enuff reports on stolen property in 7 yrs!
