    One last thing, how much was the thing he bought?

    And are you signed on to bluebook? If not do so you've got a hard copy of the texts.

    It was £300, but retails brand new for more than that.

    I don't have bluebook - I have an iphone and it doesn't work with my model :(


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    Contacted 192 and they said I either need to write or fax them a form - who has a fax machine nowadays?!

    Got a text from him this morning saying 'I'm on my way to the police station', and that was at roughly 9.30 and not heard anything since. Maybe he's realised he's getting no where?

    Have you contacted the police yourself yet? Even if he fades off its worth logging with the police incase it starts up again

    No I've not been down yet, had a bit of a rough night as you can imagine, hardly slept.

    Will the police contact him though or keep in on file? I just don't want to incite (sp?) him anymore at the moment before I get my records moved from 192 and my number changed.

    If the police contact him that is more likely to get him to stop than incite him. So that would be a good thing
