I was under the impression that if you buy something, that the seller didn't own, then the real owner can recover it back from you. You're then obliged to get your money back off the "seller"/thief.
Hence stolen cars sold with another identity, can be taken from the buyers driveway and they're left with nothing.
That's effectively what I said I would do in the end. If the guy who claimed to have not been paid proved via the courts that he was owed for the parts, and the original vendor still refused to pay him, I would hand them back after I had reported the vendor for fraud and the various other offenses he had committed. I would then pursue the vendor via small claims. What made me laugh was that the vendor didn't seem to see the problem with just handing over my phone number and trying to pretend it was now nothing to do with him. And the numpty who was owed for the parts thought he could scare me in to paying by phoning up and threatening to just march on to my premises and take stuff, despite the fact we had never met - I did confirm with the police this would have been theft if he did not follow the correct process. I tried to explain to him that it wasn't me that had screwed him and if indeed he had been screwed he needed to go about recovering his losses in the correct manner, but it fell on deaf ears. It was quite a long process in all, texting back an forth, a bit like trying to drive a nail in to custard. Once the parts guy realised I wasn't just going to roll over I got all the other nonsense - he was in debt, he couldn't buy more parts till he'd paid for these ones and his business was in danger, his girlfriend was pregnant and he couldn't afford to buy things because she wasn't working. And this is my problem how? Hilarious and tragic at the same time. Ultimately despite the vendors claims to the contrary these two knew each other and the threat of full disclosure to as many people as I could think was enough to make them reconsider their position. They did keep on bullsHence stolen cars sold with another identity, can be taken from the buyers driveway and they're left with nothing.
tting though, even after they'd agreed it was nothing to do with me. It's no wonder the prisons are full, they really should tell kids in careers advice that you need a very good brain to be a successful criminal. popeyewhite said:

Chesterfields are not council. A decent Chesterfield wouldn't even fit in a council house.PurpleTurtle said:

Storing stuff on top of flat roofs.
I'd like to buy an 'Old Town' Canadian canoe to potter up and down the Thames (a non-council pastime) but the only place I have to store one is on top of the flat roof of my garage, fully visble to any neighbour looking out of their upstairs window, which would be a bit council of me.So my only logical alernative is to buy one of those inflatable type canoes from Decathlon, which are, in the canoe scheme of things, a bit council. Can't win!!
Guess how I know?

Have we had Poundshop and its ilk yet?
Me and the missus were in a Poundworld the other day when we were back in the UK as I needed to stock up on crisps and Schwarzkopf shampoo and deodorant and she simply asked me (her first visit to this place) why everyone looked fat, I'll or both 
I hate to sound like a snob but you do feel like you need to have a shower when you get home from these places.wolfracesonic said:
Stressless recliners aren't council are they? Please tell me, I've got two 
or 
I'm not sure now
Nope not council, you're okay. But the rip-off copy versions you see in aforementioned furniture warehouses with permanent sales are. or I'm not sure now
Stressless stuff is ridiculously comfortable too, my folks have had a stressless 3-seater and 2 single chairs for what must be coming up for 20 years, and it's still in great condition. Every seat reclines just as intended too
