Police stole my bong!

Give them a ring - you paid £80 for it and it's not illegal to own drug paraphernalia. Nor is it illegal to own cannabis seeds. If you propagate them then you're in trouble, or if the cops had found you midway through pulling a huge tube of weed smoke you'd be in trouble.
You sure you didn't leave half a hit in it?! Not that any semi-pro weed smoker would..
It was a present from my girlfriend before I left for uni, and that's what stings.You sure you didn't leave half a hit in it?! Not that any semi-pro weed smoker would..
I can say there is/was no smokable substances left in the bong. It's been over 2 weeks since it was used for that, and been cleaned in the meantime. Of course there's going to be some nano-grams of weed that a laboratory will find.
Not sure if you saw this from earlier:
OP, you don't live anywhere near Botley Cemetery do you?
A mate of mine in TVP mentioned some drugs warrants were being done in and around various student houses near the cemetery and the retail park recently (the bit with the Focus/Habitat/Homebase just opposite the McDonald's).

(a) admits using illegal drugs
(b) posts his name on this website (hello Hayden!);
(c) then posts where he lives as well
might (just potentially) be an easy bust......

That's exactly it. There was ZERO evidence that my bong has in the past been used to smoke illegal substances, other than what a forensic lab could find. There was no ash in the pipe, and no water in the bowl. I know it has (over 3 weeks ago), and whilst it's not crime of the century, I know the police had a right to be in my flat and a right to deal with criminality in front of them. However, from just looking at my bong, the policeman assumed and just took it. That's what makes me mad.
I've calmed down a little today (I was angry last night, and apologise if I came aross like a whiner), and I'm having serious second thoughts about going down the station to ask to speak to someone.
What if I don't ask for it back? Will it just sit in the police station? Will they test it if I don't mention it? There was no mention of it on the entry form that was taped to my door, which makes me annoyed that it's just some sort of joke to them. I bet it's not even been logged anywhere and the policeman took it for his own use.
I'd take a caution if I thought it'd get me my bong back, but from what's been said here, that doesn't look likely. My landlord is supposed to be phoning the police today and will call me later on, so I'll see if they mention it to him. I've said before... I have the utmost respect for the police and the job they do, and have never been in trouble before... but the cop who lifted a bong from a students flat (after having had to force entry on an unrelated matter) is an ass-hat. Maybe if there were rizla laying about, or signs that my bong had been recently used... even at that, it's still a dick move. I'm getting angry again. I bet they're having a laugh down the station wondering if I'm sweating or going to mention it to them.

"All units, be on the lookout for a guy known as Spitfire123, who doesn't live near some cemetary, and has admitted to having a bong that may have micro deposits of a banned substance on it".
Oh, and I'm behind 7 proxies.

Have a Google about RIPA and subscriber checks..."All units, be on the lookout for a guy known as Spitfire123, who doesn't live near some cemetary, and has admitted to having a bong that may have micro deposits of a banned substance on it".

And if I were you, I'd think of another career than the Police.

I returned home to see a "Notice to Occupier" taped to my door, along with a padlock and chain. My landlord had to go down the police station to pick up the keys before I could get in. There was no mention of the bong on the letter, and the guy whos name was on the card was off duty by the time I got home. My landlord is going to call him today to sort things out and I'm going to see if anything's mentioned about my bong, before deciding on my next move.

what is actually stopping you from just ringing up and asking if they removed it from the property, you sound bloody well pissed off and yet you are effing and blinding and claiming X,Y and Z... more importantly you are claiming they stole it...
You dont know any of this yet still are going down that line and until you ring them up and ask them if they removed it or remember it being in the property when they broke the door in all you are going to do is get bent out of shape for something you can resolve in a phone call.
Whats the worst they can do? give you a warning about having one? Tell them its not in use as far as you know

That has to be the most cringeworthy self-congratulatory post I've seen in this thread so far.MCFLY!!!Jesus T1ttyf cking Christ, what a criminal mastermind.
Is your name Bergerac? My name really is Hayden, and I really do live in Germany/Netherlands/Sweden or wherever the exit node of my VPN is located.
Seriously, I've come here for advice, been honest about what I've done. I'm don't want to indulge anyones games of veiled threats or being hunted by the NSA for owning a bong.
Edit: I'm outta here. Threats of RIPA, posting my info in this thread is a step too far. Thanks for the advice and the laughs. This isn't a wind up, and although I expected a bit of piss taking, I never thought things would take a turn like this. I'll speak to my landlord tonight and re-evaluate things.
Over and out.

HE'S A SERVING POLICE OFFICER MATE.
You know, as in "Officer Dibble".
Honestely mate. I'm a barrister. Leave the bong where it is. Forget it. Let the police have their trophy (if indeed they have it) and move on.
And thanks for cheering me right up during a particularly boring afternoon!
