Twins Arrested In Craigslist Stolen Goods Bust
01.01.70
More than $34,000 worth of the appliances recovered were stolen between Nov. 17 and 19 from two residences in the 1600 block of Wilt Road in Fallbrook, both listed for sale, according to sheriff's Sgt. Joe Montion. The reported loss included Viking and Thermador ovens, trash compactors, microwaves and dishwashers, he said.
A suspect who identified himself as Samuel Diaz listed items identical to the ones stolen from the first reported burglary for sale on Craigslist, asking $8,500. A sheriff's deputy responded to the ad via email and arranged a meeting, Montion said.
Undercover detectives posing as husband and wife met with the man and another suspect Wednesday at a home in the 10200 block of Via Pastoral in Moreno Valley, Montion said.
The detectives identified 36 stolen appliances in the suspect's garage and the two men were arrested, Montion said.

What's On Your Mind? Capital One, Thermador

Teresa said she spent nearly two weeks working with Capital One tracking down what the payment protection plan had paid on her account and what her balance actually should be. Given the total, she wrote a check and thought the matter was settled.
"Four months after the payment I received a bill by email with triple the amount that was ever owed, and after calling and talking with the reps, I was told they are not allowed to go back to see what happened, not allowed to take ownership of their actions on accounts and the amount that was paid in full is not accepted."
As a result, Teresa said she is being sued for collection with a balance 10 times what it should be. A feature like payment protection is an expensive add on to your monthly bill. Make sure you completely understand how it works because it's clear in Teresa's case it didn't give her the "protection" she thought it did.
Teresa should also consult an attorney. If she shops around, she can find an experienced litigator who will give her an initial consultation at a reduced rate.
