Some people are just so stupid....(the 'race car' referred to is a new boxster convertible)

VANCOUVER, Wash. - When a man from Vancouver, Wash., saw his stolen property on eBay, he decided to take matters into his own hands.

Curtis Eames loves his race car, right down to the $3,800 custom wheels.

"They're pretty pricey wheels but they go on a pricey car," he said.

When someone swiped those wheels right off the car at a nearby race track, Eames suspected the thief may try to dump the wheels on eBay, and he was right. Three days later, Eames spotted them on the site.

The race car's wheels were stolen from a race track.
"I saw this and my blood pressure went up and I thought I have to do something here,? said Eames. ?Those are my wheels, this guy stole my wheels and he's going to sell them right here."

Eames contacted the seller, offered $2,400 for the wheels and set up a meeting at a Portland shopping area where he and the police would be waiting.

The seller backed out but Eames got enough information out of him so all he had to do was hand it over to police and let them make the arrest.

When they did, police said they found Eames' stolen wheels, along with tires stolen from two Portland-area car dealerships. It ended up being a $10,000 bust.

"Other friends were saying ?just leave this alone, this might cause problems for you,? and I thought ?I don't want to leave this alone, there's your stolen goods advertised, they're in Portland, Oregon, why don't you go after them??" said Eames.

Eames found more than just a good deal on eBay. He found a way to fight back.
