The photos show a box, so the chances are it wasn't stolen.
Not a very clear picture of the whole outside of the box, though...

Have you asked about the sled? It could just be that his car was stolen. Thats happened before.
If so, the person in question might have been asking for a sled here on this very BBS, so look around and see if you can match up anything.
