Awesome man, glad you got your stuff back. I hope you threw some choice words at that scumbag while you were there too!
Let's see, the kid's old man knew he was a thief since they had to move because of it. He must have known the kid had two motorcycles that he hadn't paid for too- and he tried to make excuses for the kid until the cops proved him wrong.. Seems like he ought to get some of the punishment too- as in aiding a criminal.
Seaweb's example of the police threatening a victim of crime with punishment is insane! Seems the local newspaper might be interested in a story like that!
