The Lenexa Police Department has had multiple recent cases involving stolen items for sale on Facebook Marketplace. 

Ryan Ross thought he struck a good deal on a piece of equipment for his landscape company on Facebook Marketplace. Little did he know it was stolen from a retailer before it was listed for sale. 

“He thought the sale was legitimate. Turns out it was actually a stolen piece of equipment from Home Depot, and we had to sadly go and repossess that. So now he’s out of the piece of equipment, and he’s out $10,000,” said Lenexa PD Public Information Officer Danny Chavez.
