Can the laptops use not be traced nowadays? IP addresses or something? If the police are so bothered tell them to do that and see where it is being used?!

Errr ip address`s are tied to a place not the computer using it, how on earth would the seller know what ip the person using the laptop is using.

If you really have been arrested, get proper legal advice rather than asking on the internet.

Good advice, however I don't think that option is as much fun for keyboard attention seekers.

If it's true the full named and address would have come from the place the item was advertised. In this case gumtree.

Has it really taken the buyer 6 months to chase you for this? What happened after a week or so after them not receiving it, surely they would have chased it? What is the value of the item? if its high value it's b*** s**t it they wouldnt have chased it.

There's no legal requirement to send anything by tracked delivery. I'm no legal expert but surely this has no legs or a police matter.

Maybe the buyer reported it straight to the police 5 months ago and it has taken this long to get hold of the op.

Or they may just laugh a lot.
So supposing any of this is genuine...

Person buys a Royal Mail service in post office, pays cash, loses receipt and any other information. You think the post office will have the information and be able to find it.

I can actually imagine if this went to the right police officer them arresting someone for something they sold six months ago.

I used to work for a local authority and we had problems with local buses accessing an estate because of people parking. We tried to get the police to deal with it but they said they had better things to do.

A few weeks later I got talking to a Councillor who lived in a different area. She had got a knock on the door at 11pm at night and two police officers were at the door. She thought her husband had been killed in a car crash or something. Turned out they had seen a car parked on a bus stop, got the details of the owner and wanted her to move the car. The best of it was, that the only bus route that used the stop had been cancelled three months previously.
