Stolen goods sold over eBay JACKSON, Mich. (AP) - Two Michigan men have been charged with committing old-fashioned shoplifting with a high-tech twist - fencing thousands of dollars in stolen goods through the Internet auction site eBay. Theodore R. Armstrong, 31, and Neil A. Schultz, 30, were arraigned on racketeering and fraud charges Monday in Jackson County, in south-central Michigan. Each faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted. Police said the pair shoplifted $40,000 in merchandise from Meijer discount stores in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, then sold about half of it on eBay to buyers around the world. Blackman Township Detective Sgt. David Elwell said the buyers didn't know they were bidding on stolen merchandise. How do you steal $40k of stuff from a Meijer's? Hijack the semi?
