Dilemma

Some may remember a previous thread about a hit and run on my car,
Well the culprits of said hit and run were robbed last night, the trailer that hit my car was stolen, turns out it wasn`t insured.

I have it all on CCTV, with half decent footage of the car and tea leaves,
So, do I tell them and hand over footage, or say feck them for previous crimes ?

First thing I'd do is put my house on the market and look for a better area to live in.

What was the resolution of your previous drama?

I can't think why you'd lift a finger to help them. Do unto others and all that, but its not like they'll suddenly say "Gosh, your example has taught us the error of our ways. We did so drive into your car, here be compo."

Have they asked? I'd wait until they asked.

"Do you have anything on your CCTV?"
"Yes, yes I do."

Close door.

And I've wiped it Twisted Evil

Ah let me interject. Several years ago you said you'd only be concerned when the police did 'bad' things against law abiding people.

Pamela Somerville for instance you called a vicious harpy.

Burn footage to disc.

Wait for them to ask.

Give them disc.

Hope that they don't watch and simply give it to 5-0.

Plot twist - disc is recording of trailer vs car incident.
Bonus points if windmilling genetalia features on disc.

I'd probably supply the footage but not to help the neighbours. Realistically they're not getting their shit back either way and also realistically a conviction isn't going to get them any significant compensation when they're getting it at 50p/week.

However it may potentially help get the other set of theives off the streets for a short time and prevent the same thing happening to someone else..

I agree with the above, give them footage of the previous incident.

keep quiet as knowing the laws here you would probably be slapped with perverting the course of justice then charged and thrown in jail

just be smug that you could help em but your not gonna help em and keep it to yourself

Giving them video of something not related is not perverting the course of justice.

I would say nothing then a few months later if the opportunity came up in passing conversation...

you should have asked me to check the CCTV. You know I have it....still too late now. Will be long overwritten....still never mind....

- reminds them of their losing the original accident wriggle out
- reminds them someone had their trailer
- points out they missed an opportunity to catch them

Triple word score Very Happy

Has he asked for it?

When/If he does just say "What camera?" Call him a "Fucking Liar" and generally act like he did. If he looks contrite or apologises I might give it to him. You get to have mugged him off AND be the bigger man.
