Recently I've been working from home and on two separate days I've had two men (from a certain nation near us) trying to buy my car and do my block paving even though It already block paved. What got me was when I refused my car ended up with a key scratch on it.

Obviously these people come round to case the place over I dread to think what would of happened if I wasn't in.

What gets me the police are not bothered when you ring them to tell them of these suspicious activities.

Erm

Not exactly Money Saving or Ebay?!

(But I bet you read the Daily Mail and listen to Radio 2 )

Remarkably, the seller was only cautioned for handling stolen goods.

Just to say and not to divert away from the theme of this threat. A CAUTION, is a criminal conviction, it must be declared as such for jobs and other requests. It is usually given to a first time offender for a minor offence. It saves clogging the courts up with people who have screwed up and made a criminal mistake. You only get one, and the next time you are off to see the Magistrates or Judges.

Looking at your location and the thinly disguised implication from rrwfotr above, you're lucky they didn't steal your rockery and garden fence too....

"FOR SALE - Rock"

"Fence needed to fence stolen fence"

"Hot Wheelie Bin - would suit person living at No 42"

I love handbags and have been looking at matthew williamson ones of late.

A matthew Williamson bag costs in excess of £65 new, and come with gold charms attached to them.

I`ve noticed people selling only the` MW charms `on ebay and fetching £30.

Now why oh why would someone ruin there bag to sell just the charms, then it dawned on me. The next time I was in Debenhams I had a look at the bags and sure enough, a couple of bags had the charms missing.

It`s so blatantly obvious whats going on, but theres nothing anyone can do, as there is no proof !

Surely ebay makes it easier to catch the crims. Whereas previously goods were sold in the criminal underworld, all the sales are now in the public domain and highly visible.

I look for 'expensive' new clothes with tags at car boot sales, to sell on ebay, so not all these clothes are shoplifted!

However the seller you bought them of could have stolen them.

Tagged, but not security-tagged, presumably?
