It's stupid! Why do so many people protect the real criminal?. Like above its amazing how you can be going 4 mph over the limit and they pull you up for it but someone that has just been robed of £1k they don't really care about! I'd be tempted to take it down to your local police station and say I had spoke to so many officers yesterday and I feel that I am not beening taking seriosly??
It's not stupid at all, if someone could get information on you by going to someone holding the data and saying "So and so did this!" then there would be much bigger issues. Data Protection is there for a purpose.
Not yet. Like I said, I'd rather the police go and sort it out. If all else fails, I will send some mates around.
As far as I've seen through this whole thread, you've no idea if that address is actually his. You might just be going round to upset some old lady.
It's horrible what's happened to you but I think all you can do at this point is learn from it. By all means keep hounding the Police, but their lack of interest probably reflects how unlikely it is that they will catch the guy.
