365-Drills due in court. Theft of Diamond core drills due to be heard Birmingham

[365drills]

Its court time for ********* as we appear in front of Birmingham Magistrates Court to testify in
a trial for theft of 365-drills diamond core stock and other.

Victoria Law Courts
Corporation Street
Birmingham
West Midlands
England
B4 6QA

The basic case is that a person came onto our website and ordered
some dimaond core drill bits, some tools including
2 x Tile Trackers @ £99 each then another 3 x Tile Trackers (Total order value £500)

Example:

THEN: A month later the Credit Card company performed a "CHARGE BACK" (They took £500 out of our bank account!)

The reason they said is that the card owner had denied payment. They would no longer get involved.

All they suggested we do is report it as a crime.

So, having contacted our local Police and a crime number generated they reported it to Birmingham Police

who - To my suprise - Acted on the information.

I am not sure how much I can report (or say) pre-trial [Probably nothing!]

And with a lot of high profile Twitter law suits etc I think I will keep the infomation brief.

But lets just say the Police got a result and we have been asked to attend a trial on Thursday 29th November to give testomony.

So its a trip up from London to Birmingham in the new van !

Its a bit of a pain and a £70 diesel burn BUT willing to do my bit. Wont get any compo but at least it sends a message.

Will take a few piccies of the day trip! (Not in court tho...) and advise on how the day went.

shocking ! hope they get what they deserve. they new what they where doing but no doubt they wont show.

 

[365drills]

Being quite practical I am bracing myself to turn up on the day for the 2pm kick off only to be told

a) There is some sort of day change / delay
b) There has been a plea change
c) I am no longer needed

With the van burning 37.2mpg

120miles each way from London to Birmingham (240 total)

£40.77 Fuel bill. And four hours of travel.

Peace and Love !! Peace and Love.....

I am taking my video camera!

(can you publish anything after the verdict these days)???

Or is that only newspapers that can print names etc of the guilty.

Obviously wont film or photograph INSIDE the court itself but did think about doing a sort of blog on the day out.

Maybe I still can.. But just wont name the offender(s) ??
