<2023-01-03T08:11:32.000Z> eternalenglisman: 😂 what were you going to say?
<2023-01-03T08:12:37.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: It don't matter, I was just gonna say you shouldn't rely on the pigs to help you recover stolen property, and instead to gather the lads and go retrieve it yourself.
<2023-01-03T08:15:14.000Z> eternalenglisman: I appreciate that
<2023-01-03T08:18:14.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: It's something I've personally done a few times. It's not safe, but it's better than waiting on inept, disinterested cops to tell you your property is unrecoverable, or is being held indefinitely as evidence.
<2023-01-03T08:20:24.000Z> eternalenglisman: Wow. That is true. It's a bit tough but better than nothing. How did you get the lads to help?
<2023-01-03T10:06:38.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: Some things you won't recover, ever. If it can be sold, you might be better off looking in the pawn shops first, and they'll have to give you the item for free if you can prove it's yours. Though, why did you ask the question in the first place?
<2023-01-03T19:05:58.000Z> eternalenglisman: Ahh good tip
<2023-01-03T19:06:32.000Z> eternalenglisman: Lost a phone. It sounds silly but it was worth a lot 
<2023-01-04T04:14:29.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: Fair enough. If you lost a bike or a motorcycle, you'd be better of getting some friends to help, but like jewelry or phones you're better off seeing if you can find it in a pawn shop.
<2023-01-04T04:14:47.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: Police won't bother trying to find just a phone.
<2023-01-04T05:07:43.000Z> eternalenglisman: Makes sense. Less likely in beanerland because of the swarthy beaners
<2023-01-04T05:08:01.000Z> eternalenglisman: Do you know any chaps good at detecting those things?
<2023-01-04T07:29:33.000Z> TheEternalAnglo: Phones can't really be detected, unless you allowed location tracking software on your phone like google maps.
<2023-01-04T07:47:51.000Z> eternalenglisman: Ahh well I learned something new then
