Fun with Science

For those of us over here across the pond, could you explain what a Kappa-slapper is? Or a rub-a-tug shop?

Also, does the package have any distinguishing features? If these guys are hardcore scammers, they might conceivably get multiple packages that day.

I guess its what you'd call a girl with a ghetto look? She wears a Kappa tracksuit (and big gold hoop earings I imagine) - not the classiest of ladies... Now a rub-a-tug shop I dunno :)

Pipski Nice job. That sounds like a weird place. https://www.imageshack.us is where you can upload the pictures to if they are small enough. I was impressed by how hard some of what you wrote was to read because of British slang but that sounds relatively good. Like you said, you could easily sit in the bar to watch, or if there are terminals for peoples laptops, a laptop with cam would be very awesome.

Is the back where you said the package might be delivered to really shady? Is there any way to watch it without akwardly standing in a backalley?




Edit because I am retarded.

Yes, Pipski definitely deserves a trophy.

About the multiple package thing - I packed it all in a flat panel box, and then put it in a larger white box (20x20x6).

Not to be a killjoy but evilhanz is probably right. Possible contacting the police with information abour the 2 people that this person has already scammed and with information about what is going to go down might be good. Just a thought.

Yes, and Fedex would be able to provide the Credit Card number.

I doubt that he'd be worried enough about the box to move from his location immidiately though.

Or would he?

9B (Hereby called "THE DROPOINT!!!!!!11") is outside the shop, we don't know whether the shop is connected to 9b. It could just be that a regular uses it to commit eBay fraud.

Idea: Can we get a trace route on a recent email to see if it came from this shop?

Watching it would involve standing in a backalley, but you'd have a decent enough view of any comings and goings, plus - as far as I could tell - it's a cul-de-sac with entry from one end only, which makes it easier. It was very quiet there when I went, it's not what you'd consider a pedestrian route, you might get spotted by people from their windows but I doubt they'd give you a second glance.

Blaise came out of the closet to say:

OK, as best I can see, the shop is at number 9, but it's a big ol' tenement-style building that goes quite far back from the main road - so there's room for a residential flat in there too. Main access to which would be from the rear. However, all the buildings on that terrace have rear entrances, so it's hard to say which exactly would be the one. It's possible that the flat is the same property as the shop - i.e., where the owner of Jean Climax (barbers) lives. Or it could be a seperate entity, in which case both the shop and the flat are probably seperate freeholds or rented separately.


On a practical note, if we're seriously going to stake this place out waiting for the delivery, then volunteers are going to be needed. It could be a long, dull job requiring shiftwork. Also, some quality equipment would be handy - digital camcorders, digital cams, parabolic / laser mics (jk) ... oh, and private transport would probably be a plus, in case, as has been suggested, chummie heads for the sorting office.
