Trying to stalk my victim here... Need to figure out what's in their garage for reasons. 

There's a bit of that going around.  Found my victim, just need to match up to a U/N

In reply to Cooter :

oops.

Well, THAT was anticlimactic. 

Good mornin everyone!  I guess it's obvious by now, but i just finished the last of the matches so if you didn't get an e-mail with your victim's info please let me know.

If you're late to the party but want to sign up, it may not be too late.  Send me your info and if I get other willing participants I can send out another list.

cheers everyone!  And thanks for playing 

I want to apologize to my match in advance, My financial situation is different from last year as I'm starting School full time, so this year's box may not be as exciting as last year's for this I am sorry.

Victim received and properly stalked. Since I'm stumped as to specific things, box o random it is. Should have it sent out by the weekend. Happy to have an out of stater this year. 

Victim identified. Google Streetview is a powerful stalking tool. Now to browse more threads and fill the box.

I got my name, and soon I'll gather up some stuff. 

Thank you!

Full on creeper mode: Engaged.

I noticed that google maps ID's the victim's neighbor's house. The house next door to the ID'ed house had a recognizable GRM vehicle. LOL.

Got my name and successfully figured out who it is... guess I need to spend a bit of time out in the garage this week gathering random items and seeing if the box I was sent last year can be repaired to re-use...

Time to go to the post office. Need to remember- large flat rate. I berkeleyed that up last year. Also, I need a drill.

I may be out of line as this is my first time,  but as I see it, this is a perfect practice of “it’s not how much you spend that matters, it’s what is in the heart.”

Please don't send blood.

Or used pacemakers.

Apologies if this has been covered, but how do we find out who our victim is on the board? Just so I can GRM stalk them and see if there's something I have that they might really want...

I can see a very GRM vehicle collection in street view, so I have good guesses as to what to send, but figured I could flesh it out if I knew their screen name.

In reply to dculberson :

A quick Google search can be surprisingly effective. 

Maps and Street view were useless in my particular case, but could help a lot.

Facebook, demographic stalking via member list,  Google, etc. 

In reply to AClockworkGarage :

My box is exclusively leftovers. I did get lucky in that I believe my victim and I have a similar project so some of my leftovers might be useful. Last years box was leftovers too and I apparently did ok so I don't feel too bad about doing it again.

My stalking was unsuccessful but street view provided some semi-useful info. Of course it is from 2014 so not sure if it is still accurate. 

In reply to EvanB :

Don't forget to look at the sat (overhead) views- those can be useful at times too.

I'm truly disgusted by the level of stalker I just went to, but I have confirmed that my initial guess was correct. If I'm wrong somebody is going to be confused by some of the crap I threw in. Also googled my own address out of curiosity. Apparently my truck is clearly visible from satellite but all the cars were hidden at the time.

Stalked and figured out who I got. 

Sad to admit, but I'm still stumped.

Yeah... the Street View of our place only shows the Dancer's Mariner in the driveway, but in the sat view you can see the DMC in the back yard (and, amusingly, the hot tub for the cabin next to it- shot must be from late summer this year since the hot tub is on its side).

I got my name today. I *think* I know who it is. I have absolutely no idea what to send, as I was hoping for a Mazda guy.

I may just send Mazda stuff anyhow, to try to start the conversion.
