Re: only in the uk
@Paulf - I’m glad the story had a satisfactory outcome in your case, but I’m afraid I’m rather cynical about the state of law enforcement in the UK these days, and was three-quarters expecting your story to end with some variant of “...and after releasing them for lack of evidence, the police decided to prosecute me for taking pictures of the ‘thieves’ without their consent.”
Icon because, well, I’m obviously a grumpy old git now.
