hullhunter 219 Posted August 30, 2011 Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) well lads as a few of you will know i got a lamp, battery catapult, rucksack and filter taken of me by the by the plod 8 months ago while out lamping i was not seen on land i was on the road when i was pulled. well after 8 months im finely getting it all back with no further action. so if you get any of your stuff taken by the plod just keep at them every week and you will get it back. every one said to me i will never see it again it has taken 8 months off pestering them but ive finely got it back. :laugh: Edited August 30, 2011 by hullhunter Quote Link to post

hullhunter 219 Posted August 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2011 would have been a good idea for the lamp and battery but the catty was home made so is irreplaceable. but ill remember that in case it happens again Quote Link to post

dytkos 17,538 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Spent part of the night in the cells at Ripon many years ago. Charged us with poaching rabs, (the partridges had already gone out the van window ) When they let us go later in morning we had our lamps back and also a couple of fishing rods that were stashed behind the Police Station office door :laugh: Ended up with £30 fine and £5 costs Cheers, D.

brookie 1,193 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 my lad had his 400 pound airgun taken of him .whilst it was in a gun case in the boot of his car in his home town .when we got it back they had cracked the breech and knackered the sights on it .i had a bag of nets took of me .when i got my nets back they were rotten in the bag .i had a catty took of me at another time .when i got that back the forks had been split .im more than prepared to take em to court and get comp out of em the next time .they take any of my gear from me .without any evidence or just to mess me about .ive got a solicitor in worcs that specialises in sueing the police and are readily available to the working class as well as the better off .if any one gets this sort of grief from the law contact nick turner of russell and co .holland house .church street malvern worcs wr14 2ah telephone 01684892000. they offer a country wide service and are shithot . and dont forget when you get your gear back check it all over at the station and if its damaged dont go out from there without logging the complaint Quote Link to post
the_stig 6,614 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 (edited) had 2 air guns taken off us in the 80s when we went to get em back the desk officer gave us 3 and a load of nets no one had been to collect them after 2 year and he was sick of the sight of em -- made me laugh when we got arrested they said the guns would be taken to the armuory for same keepin -- it was a filing cabinet .. my brother robbed the officers hat out the back of the car -- he`s still got it ,it hangs in his bar in spain Edited August 31, 2011 by the_stig Quote Link to post
