> It's one thing to go off on a self-righteous flash of justice, and another to be reminded that to some people, it could look like seal clubbing. The Patrol have told me they don't have the resources for such a monetarily 'minor' theft. They've more important crimes to solve.
Use the civil process, not the criminal process. Sue for the return of your rightful property. Dozens of museums have had to give back artwork "donated" to them after it was taken during World War II. (Godwin's Law says somebody's going to mention them in a thread - may as well be me.) Why should your property be any different?
