When the same person is always posting an ad that reads like this no matter what they're selling-
"Three brand new pairs of XXX shoes, never been worn. Paid $100 each. Too small for my son and can't return them. $50 a pair."
It's not a huge jump to think they're stolen when the same person posts this type of ad all the time.
I don't know that I've ever seen a stolen sewing machine for sale, but I don't personally know anyone who's had one stolen either.
When we buy anything off of FB or CL, we keep a screen shot of the ad and all communication between us and the seller just in case the item happens to be stolen. It's the only way to protect ourselves. So far we've not had any problems.
