    Seems the Grandmother has been able to extract witness statements all the time boys

    Strange that, the impression I've got from reading the thread is that the Police claimed it was a Civil matter and of no concern to them that anything had gone missing. They weren't interested in any evidence.

    I found that Freddie's posts to be amusing and a welcome break from people posting ridiculous law comparisions such as likening this to a case involving Kuwait Airways vs Iraq Airways.

    Maybe I just took them in the manner in which they were intended and not as some sort of personal attack on the OP though. A lot of people really just need to chill out.
    Up until this thread, I've found freddie's posts to be quite amusing.

    Comments about compo, children shouldn't have expensive gadgets, JJB are innocent aren't of any relevance. Once that item was handed in they should have taken more care, I find it hard to believe they're as lax when a card is left (and I'll put my house/money/children that that happens every day).

    As I said in #331, I wonder if Freddie is just abusive to MSE'ers, or whether he is as abrasive towards his Beaver Scouts, Leaders & parents?.

    I have often wondered if the work I, and others do, is worth it.

    Then I find them sending them up streamevery February does actually give me a smile! I take a break every summer and when they come back, it is always, 'Are we having hot dogs and a water fight'

    Glad the water mess only happens once a year, it takes me days to recover afterwards.

    What a load of cobblers you're talking.

    I'm not even going to dignify it by quoting it all.

    But:
    No I get it, because I said early in the thread I disagreed with OP and stated it was part of Life’s Rich Tapestry. An honest mistake made, lessons learned.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with disagreeing with this or any other poster - and you know it.
    It's the way that you do it that many people object to and that is why your posts are often reported.
    To be honest I am a little Awestruck this thread has continued into its second week and has now detracted away from the initial issues, the loss of the iPOD. You will note I use the word loss, rather than stolen, as it was lost in the first instance.

    YOU - talking about detracting away from the initial issues?
    Just read the drivel you exchanged with a number of posters about Easter eggs, Beavers etc.
  • Just keep hitting the abuse button. There were a few of his posts removed fro
    This thread yesterday thankfully. To be honest with the amount of times I have hit the abuse button with Freddie I'm amazed he isn't ppr'd yet. It can surely only be a matter of time.

    Freddie is on my ignore list, so I just don't even see his useless !!!!
  • Can you all please call freddie-snowbits his proper name, confuses me greatly when I scan threads and think people are 'talking' about me!!
  • No wonder there hasn't been an update on this! WOULD YOU??????

    OH DEAR!!!

    Yes.

    I would like to let others know what the police said how they handled it, what they did to track the woman down, what procedures JJB now have in place, and that the grandson has been reunited with his ipod.

    I think OP is smart enough to rise above the ridiculousness of some of the posters on this thread and update when she has some news.
  • I hope so. Just like the other genuine people on here I would like to know how things are progressing. Nothing would please me more than hearing that woman was caught!
