I bet his DNA samples and the fact that he was charged remain on file.

Yeah, he could have got £100 from mazumamobile.com, or any of the other similarly reputable fencers of stolen property you find advertising their services on daytime ITV nowadays.

I like the several companies now offering to buy "your" old jewellery off you, in return for the wholesale price of the gold (currently about £10/g for 14-carat trinkets).

I always think that about those dodgy shops you see with 'Mobile Phones Unlocked' signs. There's only one reason that service exists, surely?

I've used one of those dodgy shops in the past to remove the block that the network puts on your phone. I could choose whatever network I wanted then.

Me too. I've always used prepay Sim cards and used them with sim-free or unlocked phones.

Can't the networks brick your phone these days if they're stolen?

Oh right. My mistake. I didn't know networks did that blocking thing in the first place.

Paul, of previous good character, has a Saturday job at Welding jewellers on Lord Street, Southport, and is held in high regard by his teachers at Southport College.

Shouldn't they drop the 'previous' bit? It makes him sound as if he was formally a good person, but is now of a dodgy, untrustworthy kind.

Which he obviously is if the police are interested in him...
