Its all over now. it was a stupid misunderstanding and now its become a pain in the rear. lets all get back to work and forget about this. its very awkward for me anyway now. its become kinda like a hero to zero situation for me. and for the last time. i was not testing the water, scheming...

Well, I had a word with him and we spoke about this briefly. First, it was awkward to break this to him that I actually put this up on a forum and told you all about his motives. He said he was just kidding and he had never seriously considered stealing photographic equipment. He read about...

Thank you for understand the situation as it is and not passing judgements. yes, i will definately talk to my flat-"mate" and let you all know how it went. i already had a word with my other flatmate and he too will be there. looks like its going to be pretty dramatic. three guys having a...

Ok. lets assume that they track the ip and get here. what next? what will they charge anyone on? "potential attempted theft", what does that mean? and conspiracy, against whom or what? So first the forum complains against a crime that has not yet been committed and they are in noway related...

i was just to impulsive last night and i wanted to do something to avoid a potential problem for everyone. I couldnt stand the fact of someone being able to steal something so expensive and get away with it. prevention is always better than cure. so if the lens rental companies wont give him a...

With your kind of attitude, I do hope your collar is felt by the local constabulary, and get prosecuted and live the rest of you life with a criminal record, that will really help your job prospects no end. Most people on here are descent, hard working and law-abiding members of the...

well, the phone companies know where to find him and if he doesnt pay they will ruin his credit score. also, a phone scam is not a criminal offence but a civil offense, its like owing someone money. im not here to set his life right or prove myself to be a good samaritan. i just came to know of...

And if he doesnt listen? then ofcourse ill let the force know. contrary to my previous understanding, im taking this very seriously after what some guys here replied. Its both immoral on his part and carelesness on my part. Also, im a strong believer in karma and im sure if i do the right...

Well, i just have a canon g7 and thats not going to fetch him much. i wont call anyone, i will just talk to him in the evenin and mildly threaten him saying that this might take me down with him and i cant let that happen, friend or no friend. theft is a serious crime and i will put that in...

well, the problem is that im a tenent and i have to share a flat with this guy. if he disappears with the goods it will be me and this another guy who will be questioned. i will let him know today that this will screw us once he flees the country and i cant let that happen. ill try to be mildly...

Thanks for letting me know about this. Now you got me running around scared. i never looked at it this way. ill have a word with him in the evening once i get home and get this sorted. i was just trying to help. and there is no need to come down so hard on me. what would any of you have...

ok so i see where this is headed. all those implying that its me who is planning to do this then please, you are speculating a bit too much. i already gave an area code, but i cant give a name or any specifics cause he has not done that yet and im sure he will realise the gravity of the...

HOLD ON A MIN. im doing my part by informing the photography community. i just dont want this poor guy to be convicted. i know what a mess he is in and what dire desperation is making him do all this. he has already done a phone scam and gotten away with it and i thought he would stop there...

Well, i just want to avoid the mess for everyone. This guy is doing it cause he is broke and back home his families condition isnt that good either. and not being able to reprimand him is just plain lame. too bad if he does this and gets away. ill keep u guys posted if he goes on with his plan...

Ok so here goes. I have an African flat mate who has come up with this stupid plan of getting away with rental camera equipment and selling it off. Apparently, he has done his homework and he presented a very strong and accurate argument of how he could get away with it a couple of hours back...
