Woot! Thank you Parizad, programmers and others for doing this - and great way to incorporate the Repo Man into it too.
It's great to see that our concerns about things, such as cc theft and other stuff, is dealt with.
Oh I would love to be in the house some day when the Repo Man comes to a huge store lot... Haha
A few pointers to everyone complaining:
<font color="red">
1) ALWAYS ASK IF THE CONTENT THEY ARE SELLING, IS THEIR OWN.</font>
That way you don't lose money when the Repo Man comes to take it back.
If they don't reply and are afk, take your business elsewhere.
Or buy at your own risk.
<font color="red">
2) DO NOT SHOP AT STORES WHERE THEY SELL STOLEN GOODS.</font>
If you have that knowledge.
3) Just because your cc shows as cardboard boxes, that doesn't have to mean it's been removed from the game. It can just be that your computer is having trouble showing the cc.
Empty your cc cache and / or look at it from another computer if available.
Parizad:
Is there some sort of message that goes out as well as the Repo Man coming to take the stuff?
Do the customers get a message?
If they do, could you make the message include the uploader's name?
"Your cc, uploaded by .... was taken back due to theft"...
This way they can look up the uploader and get a refund.
It's a lovely way of fixing the problem. The people buying the stuff are part of the problem (whether they admit it or not) so I have no problem with just taking the things away and letting the angry masses have a go at the stores who did this in the first place.
About the using pictures from internet to make custom furniture:
I believe it to be wrong to take that as an argument in this discussion.
Sure, that might also be wrong to do, but let that be another discussion.
It does not justify direct theft of items found on somebody's website.
The way I see it, this Repo Man is collecting items that are stolen from other people's websites and reported stolen by a person who can prove they made them.

I hope they do send us a message and yes it would be nice to know who the uploader was because I have bought ALOT of CC on several of my sims errrr avatars and would not remember where I got it from..
I've never thought about asking the stores if there CC was theirs tho I just assumed it was since they were selling it...bad simmie errrrr avatar
