Doesn't make sense, call the police from where you are at, and file a report.

So much fail here.

Step1- kick your brothers *** and then throw him in the lake when cement shoes.

Step2- Call pd and file a stolen gun report.

Step3- Raise all holy hell with UPS, go to the local customer service center.

[Stewdabaker23]

Also I have never heard of UPS pressing charges for filing a claim because of damage.
After thinking about this more there is some shady **** here.

Either the UPS driver was attempting to get some free **** or YOUR A TROLL? ??

Let us know when you find your brother's dope stash, because it some debt to pay.

sent from my damn tappy device...

<snip>... i would actually call this rifle "stolen" if it were not for the fact your brother willingly handed it over. idk if this is a felony, but it smells like one and you may have to ditch your brother in order to be able to keep your guns.

Theft by deception's still theft.

After the charge back the merchandise is once again the property of the seller. The items should have been returned to the seller. Your CC simply removes money from the vendors account. Your CC does not pay for the items.

I think the vendor asked UPS to recover the items. When UPS comes to pick up the items, your brother is confused as to what has happened and what needs to be returned. So in this confusion he hands over the rifle after the threat of lawsuit. The description of the items may have been rifle parts for an R700.

Your rifle is either at UPS or on the way to the vendor. I'm sure the vendor wanted the stock and scope back in order to substantiate the legitimacy of the charge back. They don't know if there is real damage or if your are claiming damage in order to get the items for free.

Put yourself in their position. Say you sold something online to someone and shipped it to them. Then they contact you and want a refund because of damaged goods. Would you blindly refund the money without any evidence of damage?

cool story bro... don't buy it.

[gogohopper]

There are only two possibilities here.

1. Brother is lying.
2. OP is lying.

+1.

[Tripper]

same thought that it would be a stolen weapon if it weren't for the fact my brother voluntarily handed it over =/

It was NOT voluntary
It was extortion
He handed it over under threat/duress

Today though, our usual UPS guy came to our apartment. My brother (who lives with me) answered the door. Our UPS guy said his boss wanted to press charges against me over the previous transaction, but was willing to disregard this if I relinquish my rifle.

I say start here. Press charges for what? You haven't mentioned it.
What did you do to the UPS guy's boss?

[guns4life]

What the ****?

[shooterfpga]

Calguns never disappoints....

[19K]

Hahah I get it! Its a happy halloween scary story. Press charges on your brother.

[doctor_vals]

Order a stock and a scope......brother gives him the whole rifle? Where are the items that were damaged? You said you bought them else where to replace the damaged ones. UPS guy is incharge of getting items back or they will file charges? All sounds too fishy to me.

Exactly!

And what will happen if "UPS guy" will shoot somebody with that rifle?
Who will go to jail....

UPS drivers are pretty well paid and have a decent benefit\ retirement package.

I really doubt that a UPS employee would risk his job over a rifle. This sounds like a story concocted by the OPs brother.
