Default Enginetuner - Card swindle result!

As you may have read previously, we were done over in a debit card swindle, aided and abetted by the banks, who don't give a stuff.
It basically cost us well over £3K
Or rather it did!
The upshot is I have all the Cosworth parts back.
I'll tell the whole story later on, but for now, I'd like to thank;

ScoobyNet, for letting me post the information on the theft.

A well known and first rate businessman, a regular poster on SN, who behaved impeccably. He knows who he is, and I'll tell you who he is later on.

Sutton Coldfield Police, who are well and truly on the case, arresting several in the process.

My wife Liz, who put a very effective hex on people who thought they'd got away with it.

Karma, proving that what goes around, does in fact come around.

Good to hear this outcome Alan. Well done for not letting it lie.

Let's just hope the thieving scum get what they deserve.

It'll be a long stretch in centreparcs, unfortunately. At least you got your kit back Alan. 1-0 to you!

Class

Just out of curiosity was your helper "Harvey" ??

I'm a complete scatterbrain and completely unorganised but Harvey is the last person on this God's Earth I would deliberatly scam and hope to get away with it !!

Remember the original Scoobysport owner

Brilliant result
