Great thread this one.....LOL

So the thought police will be out at car boot sales, checking on fenced and stolen goods. All stolen goods must be marked "S"...all fenced goods "F"...then we can help our boys in blue detect more crime.

Amazing that they didn't come up with that in E. Germany. But then the boys in blue (actually its light brown here), were also selling lots of goods (unmarked you understand), and very little evidence use to make it to the courtroom...I wonder why.

One boot sale I went to (they actually call them Flohmarkt (fleamarket)), sold old guns, new guns, and live ammunition, all taken from the closed-down Russian Barracks nearby. I was offered an AK47 for 50 Deutschmarks, and a 9mm pistol with 20 rounds of ammo for 40 Deutschmarks. Even the local police examined the wares...didn't buy 'em though.

Still, we now have cracked down on such dastardly crimes...and we hope that you good people in Accy & district will ensure that not a stolen article gets put out for sale. How you will be able to identify them is anybodys guess, but I'm sure there are enough devious minds amongst you to devise a method. Or you could always close them down!!

Oh..err...don't sell the garden paths...you might get done for trespassing in your own garden!! :engsmil: :engsmil:
