My Lego is being held hostage!

I thought I'd share this, I'm not looking for sympathy.

This is a rather bizarre story which, I'm sure, will end well. It involves 3
AFOLS:

Mr A
Mr B
Myself

I did a trade with both A & B for a large amount of Lego.  Over the last few
days A & B meet to do a separate trade, and decide to save on shipping by
mailing all my sets together (I have no problem with this). So, B gives A my
sets and toddles home.  Afterwards, A looks at what B has given him in their
trade, and decides he is not quite happy. To remedy the situation he e-mails
me:

Scott,
I now have your sets and there are a few issues with me and B. I am using
your sets to get the rest of mine, until I do so, the remainder of your
order is at my home at the moment, the reason for this is because I am not
happy with the outcome of my part of the trade.

Your sets are safe, I will not sell them or anything like that.

Let me know what you think.

++++

I think A expects me to get uptight, and give B a hard time on his behalf (I
have no intention of doing this).

I'm not too worried right now, but I suppose this situation has the
potential to run & run.

Three words: "Bad Trader Alert"... Seriously, to the best of my knowledge, Extortion is a crime here in the US of A, and since we originally based many of our laws on the laws in our former mother country, I'm thinking that Extortion would probably (...)
