REFLECTOR: 1998 Velocity XLRG on Ebay

[miltonm at airmail.net]

>

   I was hit on by a man named PAT who wanted to buy my former Velo. He
called me twice with the same bull story about wanting to show the
plane to his partners The date was just after a plane was stolen from
Lakeland. The sheriff in the Lakeland area has a full report from me as
well as the FBI in the Lakeland area.   He did not call a third time. I
had a sting set up that I was unable to pull off.

The owner of the stolen plane should be able to provide N numbers and the
manufacturing plate numners.
