Yeah, same page (post #49) that I previously brought up the package weight discrepancy issue, and gave the approx. weight of a GMT IIc, lol.

Anyway, I'll just add one more tid-bit:

Packing tape is great at retaining fingerprints. Latent prints on the "sticky" side cannot be wiped off or smudged, and are effectively "preserved" by the nature of the material/application. So, if the package was re-taped after being pilfered, then the thief's prints will likely be on the underside of the top-most layer(s) of tape. Many times no additional processing (dusting) is needed. Just need to have the PD's lab photo/scan them in. Then obtain sets of elimination prints from all parties.
If anyone refuses, big red flag. Also, if the extra tape layers on the box are damaged/removed in the meantime, that would be a big red flag against the buyer.
