oh by the way what the hell is an 11 year old doing with a £150 ipod??

Don't you think that maybe it's not anyone's business who has what, or at what age?


Edit: Carelessness is not restricted to the young, my OH can lose keys, wallet and phone all within the space of a week.

Why is it wrong for people to spend their money on gifts for their children? Why they have the ipod is not relevant to the prevailing issue raised by the OP. Advice was asked for on the subject of trying to receive their stolen goods, not on the appropriateness of buying certain gifts/spending a certain amount of money on their children.

Correct. But without the evidence, it is hard to deal with. In other ways, when is it morally correct to 'wander off' with the goods knowingly not yours.

1 A £150 iPOD
2 A £15 Easter Egg
3 A Bank Card, left in a Layby
4 A Pensioners bag of Shopping
5 A bank card with pin number stuck on it or in a wallet

Interesting now

(Oh and answer the second part of my original post PTs)

Its never morally right to wander off with something thats not yours, and its something I can say hand on heart I have never done.

So you handed in a bank card! You should have handed in a bag of stolen goods but didn't. One good deed does not exonerate your bad one.

And I have no idea which part you would like answering as I have answered all your questions as far as I can tell.

Not really. OP asked for advice on a theft, not a public vote on whether it was morally correct to spend your hard earned cash on a gadget for your children.
That one is more for the GDB

Like I said it's a public forum and people can post what they like within the T&C. You don't like it - the solution is in your hands.

Thanks for answering and be good that your morals are high. As for the bit I have quoted, they were not stolen goods when left, but obtained through deception. I recall keeping the chocolate away from a woman is dificult, though no one owned up on a public forum it was their goods and as they were perishable, I could not hold on to them forever.

It may be anybody's business who has what piece of technology at what age - but it's got sod all to do with the issue.

The issue here is that some dishonest scumbag of a woman deliberately stole a DSi belonging to someone else.

This is not a case of finding it in the street or on a bus.
From what the OP says, this thief (which is what she is) overheard a conversation and turned it to her advantage by going back into the shop and pretending to be the person who'd lost the DSi.

I just hope that the old adage 'what goes around comes around' comes around and bites this woman on the bum.
I'm not usually one to wish someone else ill, but in this case I'll happily make an exception.

I would now get legal advice. JJB will have no choice if they have a legal claim against them.

A legal claim for what exactly?

Prove the ipod is the 11 year olds to start with, prove that they gave it to the wrong person? With no Ipod it will be very hard!
