There would not be a Tampa Police report anyways that Area is Hillsborough
as it is north of Hillsborough Ave, I use to live in that area for many
years.
If any report it would be with the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Dept. Also
they are less then 5 miles from there. All they have to do is go up Hanley
Road then cut across Benjamin Rd. Also there is a Dunkin Doughnuts close as
well. Also when I lived out there 2 of my best friends were Sheriff Officers
there.
Even though that is said the fact is they just moved and was trying to sell
Huge Tv's and other Electronics as well. That meant trying to take another
market.
The service was sloooowwww many times people dragging tail up front
sometimes even with order placed 30 to 45 min with only 1 or 2 in front of
you if there was more then you may as well have packed a lunch. Also I got
more bad items from them then I did from MB's which use to be right around
the corner from them. They also used the we had been broken into thing then
2 weeks later no notice anything they were gone website down.
If you want or need anything local You got Nextwave, You got Velocity even
though they have not been the same as they were when they were George's
Computers. In Brandon there is MegaMicro next to Biglots. There is a few
others but they are not really worth mentioning. Unless you are looking for
used stuff then you got MicroStar on Dale Mabry or at Oldsmar Fleamarket
Lemon Computers.
