The blacklist for stolen Kindles is useless if you can do that.

I never said they should or would re-enable it.

I think you owe a lot of craigslist users an apology. If you want I can find stolen goods on eBay, flea markets, yard sales, and so on. It means nothing when you find a couple of cases among millions and millions of transactions. The buyer could have very easily been duped, who says he didn't ask? Maybe the seller made up a story about getting it as a gift or something.
