I heard a mate was going out on the piss, so I just asked him to keep an eye out for anyone selling an iPhone in a yellow case. It was stolen from my house the day before, 12 days before Xmas.
He rang me the next day and said he was offered said iPhone in the pub, and even went to their house where he saw more of my stuff.
Told the cops and they said they would have to talk to my mate. My mate is a bit dodgy and wouldn’t go near a copper, so they just ignored the lead I had for them and shrugged.
I nearly got my big mates together to go down there myself, but that’s vigilantism and I’m a shit legs.
Anyway, the cops were useless, and that was a decade ago, and it’s slid since then.
Same same
