Leave it to the REAL gardai to catch the criminals, if they are indeed criminals

That's why I asked...fake plates....difficult to trace.

No offence, but Punto...unmarked Garda car

but to a 16 year old and 15 yearold

Most 16 year olds I know can spot an unmarked car a mile off....probably because I point them out so often though:D:D

Ummm, ...... OK. Any particular reason you frequently point out unmarked Garda cars to this age group? :eek:

Right, lads pull up in a car posing as garda on a couple of teenagers and nick their phones, no.... they are not real criminals !! they're only pretending!!!

Impersonating a guard, what kind of sentence does that give?? Ive no advice but good luck with tracking them down.

Guys. This fella is looking for practical advice on what happened,,,dont need your opinions on what a teenager might spot or not spot. Give a bit of support FFS

If the storie were true, they would indeed be criminals.

Still, no need for an internet manhunt
a) it's the gardai's job to catch them (not ours)
b) this is t'internet after all ...the story may not be true

No he/she is looking for 'information'. I'd prefer to give any information to the Gardai.


EDIT: beaten to it by peasant!

Anychance of this going to AH?! :pac::pac:

Bad luck OP but it is kinda funny. Reminds me of lads who posed as Gardaí and confiscated drink off me years ago while kn****r drinking. Good times.

this sort of **** goes down quite often but probably more with private security guards. it reminds people not to be all that complacent (don't give em your phone!) there are very few legit reasons why a guard would pull someone over to take their phone

but private security guards will be impersonated more often because the uniform is easier to obtain and less risk involved. don't take any **** from these guys at all. the worst they can do is kick you out of a place

Lovely. Stay away from the motors forum, itchyend.

I think we're done with this thread anyway...
