Aldo's UK Obos

[Guest Aldo]

Been back in the UK for a few weeks now and here are my observations so far;

 

 

 

• Dirty; People here don't seem to understand that buildings need maintaining. I have seen so many newish buildings in a terrible state and filthy dirty.. Bluewater for example looks great on the surface but on the run up to xmas toilets where out of service and the exterior was grimy with chewing gum all over the pavements, plastic bags tangled in bushes and dumped trollies everywhere. buses and cars are dirty and houses and shop fronts are (in general) tatty.
  
• People: Salt of the earth! Considering the sh!t the folk are going through here at the moment, people are friendly, talkative and cheerful. I also think the ladies here are better looking.. Its a shame they have to open there mouths though as the estuary English spoken on the London / Kent borders is particularly course.
  
• Social Life; I've had more social interaction in the last week than i did in a year and a half in oz! Popping out for a couple of beers can turn into a spur of the moment party as people turn up in the pub one after the other who havn't seen you for years, i would have to wait for a xmas "do" or melbourne cup for the equivalent in oz!.
  
• Shopping; not really a subject that gets me exited but, yes, wider isles, more choice and the ready meals that people seem to want to escape from are IMO of good quality and on the whole quite healthy. Oz may beat the poms by a narrow margin on the beef front but gets silver on everything else including fruit and veg. Being able to buy booze in super markets is so much easier, so much choice and so much more civilised than a drive through bottle shop.
  

 

Any questions ?

Your either spouting B.S. here or your brief wants sacking pronto.

 

Are you saying you bought a car in all innocence and as an innocent purchaser you've been nicked for Handling? I would be making a complaint to the police right now if they took the car off you and demanding its return as it's rightful owner.

You want to go read up your statutory defence then in Sections 1 to 7 of the Theft Act 1968 especially the part about being an innocent purchaser !

Of course, it's down to a court to decide the ownership of the vehicle. The police should have told you that as an innocent purchaser you commit the offence of handling stolen goods if you SOLD the car.

Handling stolen goods involves KNOWING or BELIEVING goods to be stolen before you take possession.-Section 22 of the Theft Act 1968 provides:

 

A person handles stolen goods if (otherwise than in the course of the stealing) knowing or believing them to be stolen goods he dishonestly receives the goods, or dishonestly undertakes or assists in their retention, removal, disposal or realisation by or for the benefit of another person, or if he arranges to do so.

 

A person guilty of handling stolen goods shall on conviction on indictment be liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding fourteen years."

Don't forget of course that the punishment for handling is greater than for stealing.

 

This wasn't a car you bought down the pub off a geezer whose name you don't know is it?

[Guest Aldo]

apparently there is a fund set up by insurance companies to refund people in my situation, not sure of the facts on this but if anyone knows more let me know please. I now know that the VIN number was cloned

i know that the insurers have(or did have) a body called the Motor Insurance Bureau was it? this as far as i know was to compensate people hit by uninsured drivers , maybe its for cases like yours as well?

BUMP

 

I was just trying to finish the sun crossword, for the first time apparently. and the clue was

"Charged in February" with four letters as the answer.

 

Then I remembered that Aldo said he was on police bail till February cos he's a fence(allegedly).

Aldo. are you the answer to the clue?

[Guest TheArmChairDetective]

The law states that "Knowing or Believing goods to be stolen a person dishonestly....."

 

So if you don't fit into that category you should have told yer solicitor to lay a writ on the Met and you should be making an official complaint against the police as you have legal title to said goods if you don't fit Knowing, believing or dishonest. !!
