[Jayster]

Crazy shit, good luck Bro!

[Corpsegrinder88]

Wait wtf len? Did you get em back?

[Twitch]

Stupid fuckers! Im not on parole, but if that happened to me, Id be working on it.

[sixx_ gunner]

I will keep an eye down here, just in case, for you.
That Fking SUCKS!!!

[ginsambo]

Sucks. I'II keep an eye on Fleabay, I'm addicted to it anyway, so won't cause any harm. Must be worse in the evening, staring at the empty spaces where the guitars were.

You sure it was crackheads? Or just a turn of phrase? What was the bad feeling you had? Usually it someone you know man. And they obviously knew their guitars too. Without being paranoid, you have to trust your instincts, but only lay it on someone if you have proof. I don't know what the police are like there, but here they wouldn't even be coming around and possession of stolen goods is a civil matter, not a criminal one.

There is a crackhead around here, arms so skinny he'll reach in through then letter box and grab your keys. Mostly though a lot of trouble with Irish 'Travellers'. BUT you'll be surprised who'll nick stuff. All walks of life. I got robbed a month back and plan on setting some bait as I know damn well its someone local. When I catch em I'II tie them to a chair and chainsaw their bloody hands off. Theiving is the worst crime ever in my book and the police won't do anything.

Willing to help - what's the evidence and the circumstancial evidence in the days/hours leading up to the crime. What's your hunch?

He said it was his landlord. Shouldn't be too hard to track down then.

Um, I don't think so. Mr Plod likes getting people on "Handling Stolen Goods" charges, and the sentences are usually longer than those for the actual thief (because he will have "an excuse", like he is a smack-head). It's only a civil matter if you say it is stolen and the other bloke denies it. If you've reported a burglary first, it's not an issue.
That's why you should ALWAYS report a theft to Plod, even though it might seem like they take a dog's age to get there, then do nothing. It seems pointless, but they have it on paper that you have been burgled, and maybe that'll get your stuff back when you find it is your girlfriend's brother who has nicked it and claims you gave it to him. (Plod also loves it when you don't bother to report a theft, it makes his statistics seem better, he can accurately say that there were NO crimes in the area, and that he should get a pat on the back)


Hey Len, I sincerely hope this turns out right for you. Don't do anything rash, revenge is a dish best served cold.

[ginsambo]

Well plod didn't even come around when I reported 3 grands worth of tools stolen. I rang them again to add to the crime report and they hadn't even filed one, they promptly did the second time and sent me a generic victim statement. They said there was nothing they could do unless I had seen the person who'd done it.

As for handling stolen goods, if it is someone they are after they will make an effort, and handling with intent to sell is a criminal offence, as is selling stolen goods, simply being in possession of stolen goods is not a criminal offence. Say I have your guitar, the serial number matches and I say that I bought it off someone or got given it, then unless you can prove otherwise I cannot be charged. Obviously my previous experience with the police might come into it in the real world.

If 'Irish' 'Travellers' steal something, the police do not go onto their temporary camps because it is against the human rights of the 'Travellers' as they have specific ethnic minority laws in place to protect them. The police are more afraid of them than they are the travellers. If you go onto their camp, its you against forty of em.

I don't blame the police, they do all they can. I have seen some decent judges of charactor circumnavigate the law to be in a position to 'legally' arrest someone who is putting themselves and others in danger. But the law is the law and they need evidence that will stand up in court. Do report a theft as it hopefully will be filed and might help a csae in the future, but for the present, as with most things in life, if you want it doing, do it yourself and don't get yourself into more trouble doing it.

Anyway, good luck with it Len.
