    Do you think they'd put us up in a nice hotel, or a very MSE hostel :D

    I'd be back in if it was a nice hotel. :D

    Of course it doesn't change the fact that it was stolen, but it does change who OP should have been blaming and pursuing in the first place.

    She was convinced that it was JJB's fault, and that they should recompense her grandson.

    If she had taken her blinkers off and accepted that her grandson played a role in the saga and insisted from the off the police pursue the real thief rather than trying to apportion blame entirely on JJB she may have had a result by now. As it is, some week - 10 days later the evidence has probably been overwritten and the thief is home and dry.

    She may be back and anyway it is mildly diverting.
  • CCTV from the shopping centre may show the thief going from JJB to a multistorey carpark. If so, a car registration number will be visible. If the police will not help then contact SOCA and they may be able to sort it out.



    Thanks,

    Serious Organised Crime Agency?
    Is this a 'serious' suggestion?

    If the police are unwilling to get involved, I'm very doubtful that SOCA will be willing to.

    One female opportunist thief is hardly 'organised' - and comparable to drugs or human trafficking or major gun crime.

    CCTV may show the (alleged) thief leaving the shop and getting on a bus.

    A bus registration will be visible.

    Interpol will track down all bus drivers and interrogate them.:D

    Or as the alleged thief used her card in the shop the plod could just get her address from the issuer. policier.gif
