Post by shadrack » Fri Jan 18, 2013 3:29 pm

Removed the thread but said stolen ebay item is now back in our possesion, the police raided the address last night after realising how high a value our item was and inteligence to suggest other items at address.

A particular thankyou to Don Coffey, Xl5 and Graemex5 for offering to help me. :-)
