Hey Matt, just checked out a local gas station(Town & Country) and saw they've got the lighters in.

You want couple sent to you or anything? Maybe some pictures?

Let me know man

Yeah, a digital photo of the in-store display with info on exactly where and when it was taken would help a lot. So this is not a Loves, but another store altogether?

The sale display in your photo says "Clipper". Is Clipper the name of the company that's selling these lighters? If that's the case, they more than likely won't be exclusive to Loves and you'd probably have a better chance trying to sue them, as they actually manufacture the lighters.

It's be like a guy breaking into your home, stealing your TV and selling it to his best friend. The best friend then takes said TV toa pawn shop, and gets arrested. While he, too, was in the wrong for selling stolen goods, he isn't the main thief in question, and that main thief is still out there stealing.

It sucks when things like this happen..

I remember (not as big of scale) but badtaste had some chick who badly copied her drawing and not only was saying it was her own creation, but was also saying badtaste copied her.

If anyone who runs across these lighters will buy a couple and send them to me along with the receipt, I'll gladly reimburse you for them, plus give you a little something extra for your trouble. I'm trying to build a case on how widespread this is. THANKS!

PS: Please make sure it's only the lighters with MY artowrk on them - see the photos previously posted in this thread.
