1904 (??) ADPi badge on eBay

This is just amazing!!

I would think that if the item was stolen, then even if money has been exchanged, the transaction could be forcibly reversed...

Was the badge stolen? I'm really curious how it was discovered to be missing....

Well if the item was stolen, then yea I can see how they would be forced to reverse it (though I'm not sure how ebay handles that since it's a website, and wouldn't the police need to be involved?)

She said she hadn't seen it since an Alpha ceremony last fall and thought she left it in her car but never found it.

The last time I remember seeing it was last fall. I thought when I took it off, I put it in my car. I cannot imagine someone breaking into my car and stealing a pin that was nowhere in sight. It is truly a mystery how that pin ended up in a stranger's hands. I feel so careless and irresponsible that I would let that happen to something that is so important.

I've reported sellers as selling stolen items and yes, there is a requirement for a police report. Since the mdse was not stolen from me, I coudn't persue the matter.

I don't think you're irresponsible; I totally understand how these things can sometimes grow legs and run away!

I thought I'd lost my badge and that is how I came to search ebay for a replacement. Then, about 6-9 months later, after buying other badges but not one exactly like the lost one, I put on a winter blazer and in the pocket I found my badge! I couldn't remember how it got in that pocket... I've been more careful, but I have truly lost one badge since then (though I'm 99.99% sure it was eaten by my washing machine - I've rescued another one in the machine though its guard is gone....)
