    What a thing to be a criminal for.

    He accidentally recieves something he didn't order and he's a criminal?

    Oy.

    You need to improve your reading comprehension skills, as well as your ability to read between the lines.

    The article in no way indicates that the recipient of the money is guilty of any kind of crime, but maybe the sender was.

    The sender was Christian. The money was the take from the last quarter of TBBS operations.

    Only someone in Norfolk would report this to the fuzz.

    Wow, such disdain for doing the right thing.

    What if that was some families savings that someone had stashed in that box?

    Some people don't trust banks

    That's the thing to do in America as well. If you find that amount of money, turn it in to the police. after thirty days, you can claim it.

    It wouldn't be wise to not report since the sender obviously has the address of the kid and if he really wanted to could come looking for it.

    So, you're saying that in the UK, those who act honestly and honorably are viewed as being stupid?


    Hmmmmm.

    Sort of reminds of when my stepdads Army cousin (or nephew, it was before my mom met him) mailed home dolls filled with drugs from the Viet Nam conflict shortly before he returned.... :(

    ^Norfolk, according to our local news.

    Dear me, don't people around here jump to conclusions? The money might well be someone's savings, which is why I don't see any reason for the police to get involved. What's wrong with getting in touch with the seller direct? :garamet: Or ebay, if you couldn't do that?
