US markings and NSNs alone don't prove it to be stolen. What kind of plates and armor are they?

Green US marked ESAPIs are stolen, since none have ever been released to the public. It was off armslist, however he is the owner of Fletcher Tactical

While I applaud your integrity, I fear you're about to learn an expensive lesson on the subject of "Why you should NEVER invite the man into your life".

Be sure to post a picture of your Good Citizens Medal when you get it.

I don't want a damned medal, but what the hell am I supposed to do with it now? I can't sell it, and I can't keep it either.

I'd start by calling some sort of JAG unit and asking about it.
Or paint it and never talk about it again. |

I wouldn't worry about it personally though until you had hard evidence that it was stolen in the form of a knock on the door from someone in a suit wanting it back. There are all kinds of things that supposedly "never made it into civilian hands" from the .gov that have indeed made it out there in small numbers. Without proof to the contrary you are just stressing for no reason. |

There are so many avenues for this stuff to be legit its probably more likely its legit than stolen. Dont imagine problems where there might not be one. Call the FBI of you want to, they will sieze it even if its legal because they wont know anymore about it than you do. Maybe if youre lucky they will decide to take a look around to see what other contraband you're holding. Own any C3 stuff? This thread could get awesome.

If you feel that strongly about it, contact the C.I.D. office at either Fort Benning or Stewart.

Contractors all get GI SAPI plates right from the military. We sign for them from CIF as individuals. at a certain point (2yr mark I think) the company gets billed for it from the government. Tens of thousands of contractors over the last 12yrs have been in this spot. The number of non-stolen sapis out there is probably staggering.

I would keep them, throw them in a closet for the zombie-gedon.
Or wipe them down, put them in a box and drop ship them (paying cash) to the local FBI office with a "you're welcome" note |

Agreed, but I just can't imagine going through life, looking for official government sanctioned assistance for every little bump in the road. He doesn't know for fact it is stolen. He has a record of how he acquired it. Could he have reasonably known it was "stolen". Or is it just an ambiguous suspicion picked out of dusty corners of the internet? One can find all manner of things to worry about, but life is to short stress about it imho. It's just a difference in mindset. Feel uncomfortable having it around? Geocache it. -or- Give it to someone who appreciates it. We just donated Billions of dollars worth of weapons to ISIS. Excuse me if I don't see the outrage over a set of Plates of dubious pedigree. |

OP it seems to me like you didn't ask enough questions to begin with. Did you not see pics of what you were purchasing?
Not trying to be a dick but when people sell acogs for 500 bucks and plate carriers and sapi plates I would hope your spidey sense would think something was fishy or at least you would ensure the items were not stolen before you purchased them... |

For everyone's edification, sense apparently you do not know. All green ESAPI plates with US markings are stolen. Period. End of story hard evidence right there.

And yes I did see a pic, the items pictured where not the items I received. The plates pictured where black ESAPIs which would be legal.
And to half you other posters talking about SAPI plates, you realize there is a difference right? There is surplus US marked SAPIs, there is not a single legal green US marked ESAPI plate on the civilian market. |

Someone loses issued equipment and then is forced to pay for it. They find it later and sell it. However, if it is stolen the Armor Reclaimation Squad will find you and arrest you.

It actually is because it is still US Property. All US marked ESAPI plates are illegal. Period. They are still the property of the government
