> It appears Gilbert Bland is stealing maps again.

> There is someone based in Maryland who is moving covertly about the
> east coast selling relatively low end maps from government
> publications via email under the name scframers. A dealer in
> Colorado got suspicious and did some background checking and has
> concluded that it is almost certainly Gil Bland. He is masked
> behind a series of aliases, wrong phone numbers and similar barriers
> to the discovery of his identity, but the case is fairly compelling:
>
> 1. Same type of material--primarly low priced government report
> type material, but periodically better material.
> 2. Working the east coast, but based in Maryland
> 3. Also pursuing Scripophily (hope I spelled that right!).
> 4. Mail order type operation.
> 5. At least one deep search caused an even more direct connection
> to Bland's prior business name.
>
> Not sure what the best approach is to tracking this down, but he's
> using the mail, shipping interstate, so its a Federal offense.
