Firstly, if you have no clue what this is about, please read the thread located here :

Now onto my 'new' post:

I was awoken today by my Mother phoning me at 7am.
She 'HAD' to tell me about an article that was in the paper today.

"Man must repay bank $130,000.00 in fraud case"

Basically, the main suspect in my store being robbed is the 'man' the article is about!
I called the cops handling my robbery today and asked if THIS article was the reason they 'couldn't' arrest him. (Since they had enough on him).
I was told back then that he was already 'involved' in something of a more important nature......

Anyway, the Basic run-around answer after talking to the officer that handled our robbery......... YES.
$130,000.00 CND is a tad more important than my $17,000.00 in toys.

...even I have to agree with that.

Canadian law sucks at times.......

If you're interested in reading the write up on it, a customer was kind enough to scan it and email it to me - so I'm nice enough to post it on my site for others to see.

Needless to say, my toys are now 100% gone... but this does cheer me up a tad.

Jeezus...

It's too bad the scumbag couldn't have been nailed for your shit too Mike but at least he got nailed for something. I assume you've known this guy for some time?

Man, and people wonder why no one trusts comic shop owners.

Animals have more rights than we do.  The justice sytem in Canada is a joke because we have unelected judges making decisions above the feds.   But these jokers (like this tool Mike mentioned) will be back to do something else as he got a slap in the wrist in my view.  Just pathetic.

I have horror stories about the Canadian justice system. I had a co-worker years ago who went to jail for 6 months for stopping a burglar. He was living outside Calgary at the time and was working the night shift at whatever job he had. Anyways, he took a night of work to stay home with his pregnant wife (who was due that weekend). His wife went to bed and he was in the basement doing some woodworking when he heard glass crunching. He opened the door to his garage, and standing not five feet away is some 6' nut with a Bowie knife.

My buddy, freaking, grabbed a single barreled shotgun and fired at the burglar's feet. The burglar took off, cutting himself on a broken window, which is how the cops nabbed him when he checked into the hospital.

The cops also arrested my buddy. He was found guilty of some kind of assault charge and did 6 months. The burglar, who TOLD the police he "wanted to rape a pregnant woman," was charged and then released because he claimed 'emotional damage'.

Anyways, back on topic. I knew this guy was up to something after he opened a brand new store and then walked into my 'Shop' one night not too long after and dropped $300.

  At least if he walks into my store now, I can throw him out for not having any money.

Mike,

That sucks! Other than some insurance money, are you not getting compensated on your losses? And who is this guy that can amass $130 grand in debt that needs to steal Joes? Lame, man. Lame.

[BHMike]

Other than some insurance money, are you not getting compensated on your losses?

You know of an Insurance Company that will ACTUALLY insure AND pay you fair market value for old toys?...... Shoot me an email! ..... yeah.... laughing about it.... NOW. :roll:

What I would like to know is how will this person payback all of the money he owes, he can't, at least not in his lifetime.

But correct if I'm wrong, but don't they have police auctions. Perhaps what the police confiscated, will be auctioned off and some of the money will go towards paying off his huge debt the bank.
