That sounds unlikely. If you go to the police and say you stole something then they won't turn you away just because the person you stole it from hasn't reported it yet.
Did you speak to the Police and get confirmation that he confessed? Or are you taking his word for it? If you can get confirmation in writing then send that to Sky.0 -
In my case, although the Police were diligently investigating because they had apprehended someone in possession of mine and other people's identity info and false account applications... I did get the impression that they were not getting a great deal of cooperation from the Banks involved.
I think they had the guy for other offences, anyway, so perhaps justice was not impaired by this, but I would like to think that all parties were equally keen on justice and prevention.0
