Wonder what percentage of stuff sold on ebay is stolen. I suspect in
certain categories like high value and very portable items, the
percentage is significant.

Probably, the local pawn shop always has a fine selection of power
tools, quite a few have marks where company imprints have been ground
away, all the shop requires is a name and address on their paperwork
when they buy stuff in, who's name and address doesn't matter.....

The local police don't even bother with tool thefts anymore, just give
you a crime number and a how to claim leaflet.
