The Daily Mail giving front page coverage to an incidence of shoplifting is politically motivated. There is an agenda there which is obvious to anyone who is not an ignorant fool.

Do enlighten us ... read the article .. :-)

The Daily Mail is read by the sort of people who go shoplifting ...

No, its read by the likes of my mother in law... <shudders> who genuinely still believe what they are spoon fed by that rag. And even when shown hard evidence of the lies they are being told will not accept it.

Vile rag.

I agree it's a vile rag .. there's a reward and if it helps catch the scum who pinched the  guitar its a good thing. But hell let's just virtue signal away.

OK...



Seriously... I hope they get it back, genuinely. I'm not 100% convinced that its going to turn up on a Boot Sale or in Crack Converters so I doubt the general populous of the Mail's readership is going to be much use in returning it (especially if the Mail is read by the sort of people who go shoplifting). But hey... ;-)

As a Johnny Foreigner myself I'm baffled where this "foreign" idea is coming from, judging by appearances those two could be from anywhere in this country, or abroad, have I missed something? Where does the idea come from that one of them is foreign? Did he/she have a non-British accent or something?

Anyone who buys an £11k PRS with a known hot serial number and no case for a lot less than the going rate is not remotely interested in verifying ownership details, they are knowingly buying a stolen guitar. 

I see what you're saying and can see it might help a bit under some circumstances, but the buyers are not legitimate businesses who give a shit about provenance. 

My guess would be most of this stuff is stolen to order. They were only in the store just over 10 mins.

The chances of selling an £11k PRS thats so obvious to know its stolen is less likely in my opinion.

I don't think they are necessarily foreign (as they have been operating here for years - Lee Anderson said they hit Andertons 15 years ago so these people are probably stealing to order) but Eastern European gangs are operating in the UK and all over western Europe. Most of the moped crime in London is carried out by English youths but the stuff they steal is sold to these gangs. A guy on FB had his new iPhone stolen by a moped gang and it turned up in Africa. Car, bike and truck thefts tend to be for parts - police found a container full of chopped up BMWs on their way out of the UK. That guitar will stand out in the UK - its unique. Only a fool would touch it.

I suspect Vladimir Putin is ultimately behind it all.  He seems to be behind virtually everything these days.

It won't be "popping up" in the Uk
You only have to look at the woman to see where that's going unless it gets sold in Germany on the way which I would think is most likely.

The problem is your certainty that facts can be drawn from your guesses.

You might be right, but there's a reward and the pics of the thieves are excellent. I doubt they live in Hampstead or Chelsea so I bet someone will recognise them. And there's no honour among thieves. And the article was factual (I saw it on FB) - no implicating migrants of saying this sort of thing would end with Brexit. It was mostly the video and pics of the thieves and the reward.

I don't read the rag, but if it helps catch the thieves then I'm in favour.

And again, the thread has been numptied.

Well done.

I can't be arsed cleaning it all up again, so now locked for good.
