Remember I had it all stolen
« on: January 12, 2012, 09:40:45 PM »
Well this proves that great patience is a good thing.

Some of you may or may not remeber that about 6 months ago I had all my Amiga gear stolen.
Some one who I could not prove well a drugs bust to a certain house brought all my Amiga gear back home to me.
All intact and nothing sold I had a lot of preasure on him as to let him know I knew it was him.

there are ten discs gone but that is all ok with me the greater part is back with me.

He is at the moment in Wolverhampton nick awaiting a sentence for drugs and stolen gear namely mine and others to.
I consider myself lucky as if I was not smart enough to put that kind of preasure on him all my Amiga gear would have been long sold by now.

This day has gone on my calender it will stay there, as for the others poor soul he wont get any thing back apart from his Xbox 360 as he kept that not selling it.

WOWOWOWOWOWWWWwwwww am I happy or what.......

Glad you got you kit back, a friend of my Mums once stole my N64 when I was a kid (15ish)

Luckily I'd written down the serial number and reported it to the police, mind you it took a few months to get it back and by then I had a Dreamcast :lol:

@swift240

Congratulations on getting your stuff back. These days it's really hard to make low-lifes pay but it is good to see it does happen.

That's wonderful, and very lucky.
Hopefully the twit gets shanked in jail.
You've got a lot more restraint than I do.
When my place got robbed by my neighbour and the cops refused to do anything, I just waited until my neighbours weren't home and busted in their place.
I only got some of my stuff back, but I took everything of theirs.

Fantastic news!

So rare to hear of the police recovering ANYTHING from a reported burglary.

Congratulations :-D
