HELP! - My iPad has been lost and I have a PHOTO of the guy who might have it

[newhaven seagull 85]

Same here I just know the penny's going to drop if or when he's named.

every time i look at the photo i see the actor Anthony Head from Merlin and buffy the vampire slayer.

I would just like to add that i dont think for one moment that Anthony Head is in any way connected with the loss/theft of the ipad

Tom, I must say, it's a shame your I pad going missing has drawn so much attention. It's taken up Police time, valuable news slots and News paper space, just because some lad wasn't careful with a valuable item.
I don't condone someone unlawfully taking this ipad, but if you can't look after something then in my book, you don't deserve any sympathy!
Sorry for your loss, but move on, just take it as a slightly costly error in your life. By all means trace the person that took it and deal with them as necessary, but don't waste anyone else's time with your feck up!

You have to remember that he didn't expect it to blow up like this, it was an innocent forum post. Ride the fifteen minutes sunshine!

Plus, it's been fun, mr grumps.

He thinks you're a twat because of what you wrote.

I'd have thought that it wouldn't waste a great deal of police time. They have only had to sit and wait for names to be thrown at them and then investigate them. Not an extensive search for a suspect.

I'd rather they did go after all robbers. He/she might have been an opportunist or he/she might be a serial thief.

He may have not expected it to blow up like this, but he's been quite happy for it to do so. And yep I'm deadly serious, the fella was careless and then expects help to solve his loss.
My issue is with the whole circumstances of the incident, and then the escalation of events following.

 

[brighton bluenose]

Explain?

Taken up police time? It's what we pay our taxes for dumkopf! Or are you saying that the police should only investigate 'major' crimes and that all the little itsy-bitsy crimes don't matter??!!
Valuable news slots? Obviously the TV company thought it was an interesting little story - perhaps you want to explain 'valuable news slot'??!!
Valuable newspaper space - ditto??!!
Don't waste anybody elses time? Why even bother wasting my time writing that crap?!

You are a humourless pompous buffoon!

Exactly, how on earth (DD), can investigating a crime be a waste of police time?

To be fair he didn't waste your time by writing it, you wasted your time by reading it!

LOL - spotted that slip and couldn't be arsed to change it!!!

How do we know it was a crime for definite (lol, sound like Poirot)

As there maybe a few people jumping up and down with my opinion on this, can anyone please comment or correct on these few issues I have with the this whole thing? I have read back on the thread, but may have missed the answers. Apologies if I have.
Firstly what was Tom doing in Tesco with a £500 Ipad?
Secondly, why wasn't the Ipad secured to Tom to prevent a likely thief or possible loss of the item?
Thirdly, are we sure the Ipad was actually taken without consent? Most people on here are commenting in a way, that the man in the photo has stolen the Ipad from Tom, are we sure that Tom didn't drop the Ipad unknowingly and then lost, only for the man in the photo or someone connected to have found it and taken it home for safe keeping until they returned it to the owner of the property where the item was lost (Tesco)

Cheers for you input lads, regarding my thoughts on this.

It was lost/taken/stolen before Christmas. Almost a month since it went missing and it has not been returned. I am not entirely convinced the person who has it, intends to return it to Tesco to find the rightful owner. It should have been handed in to the police.
