Have proof of mail theft - nobody interested

[gshughes]

The Police's point is that you haven't suffered any financial loss, but surely theft of mail is in itself a criminal offence? A shame they aren't taking a more proactive stance as presumably there are other victims who have suffered a financial loss and they could clear those crimes up.

but their issue with it is that i can't prove he has stolen mail! None of what i've got so far is considered proof.

You need his address and some proof he has be lurking around your mail box then the police will search his house and probably find your mail.I still think they will only give him a bking or caution as he needs to steal money or defraud you or your bank in some way for them to get serious.

eh, did you miss the rest of the thread?? His address would be great... As would a name. However, i kind of feel like i've done enough investigating here.

Have you given royal mail this information?

Bit of a waste of time them investigating your postie when you know full well it's not him.

Are you able to change the lock on your postbox?

Have you called the bank and told them about the lack interest from plod? It is their money he's trying to pinch afterall...

Regardless of the specific crime or not in this instance, I'd be interested to know who he is. It's unlikely this is the only naughty thing he is doing so would be good for intelligence purposes at the very least.

Who knows what he is trying to do? Using someone else's mailbox because he's cheating on his lover, or raising money for terrorism. You don't know until you poke around a bit.

No I have read the whole thread so I know the course of events.I dont want to be harsh on you but you say that you feel that you have done enough investigations yet you do not know the guys name or address and followed him once but lost him so it looks like you are no Sherlock Holmes.

What is the point of charities like Crimestoppers if the police when given a lead can't be bothered to deal with it?

I refer you to my earlier post.

Obtain heavy wooden post. Sit in wait. Hit the fker.

Police will prob take more of an interest then.

I'm for one of the above posts stating wire up a rape alarm / pepper spray can / Fog Horn / Liquid Nitrogen releasing device to the mailbox.

[Chucklehead]

Not much to update today.. I was hovering about the streets looking for him, but didn't see him. However, i'm 70% sure he was parked in a car across the road for about 40 mins. He didn't go near because he would have seen the property management company round to clean the mailboxes and windows, and perhaps even saw me.

So you have a license plate now?
