You can use the parking lot of the Sheriff’s Office in Hillsborough as a meeting point without notifying law enforcement. You can also come inside to the lobby during business hours. And if you would like a deputy to be with you during the transaction you can also make that request through the Sheriff’s Office.

I'm sure law enforcement would much rather let their parking lots be used for this kind of activity instead of the endless hours of paperwork and court cases sometimes involved with some CL activities.

I also like that they offer to check serial numbers.
Buy a car, laptop, extra printer, TV, etc and be comforted that it's not hot.

And you just KNOW that some dufus criminals won't realize it, meaning there will be some stolen merchandise recovered from this, (which in my mind compensates the taxpayers for the small effort expended by the police).

It's a win/win/win.

Sent a message to WFPD (and maybe we should do the same for RPD) to see if they can offer this as well.

All police depts. should do it.

It makes it harder for druggies to dump their burglary loot.

Shutting down one of the primary sources of income for druggies is a good step in the war on drugs.
