    This seems to be getting heated

    Wonder did they even get the laptop back.
    Your man in red seems to be very angry.

    They did, the guy who had the laptop claimed he didn't realise it was stolen when he "bought" it :rolleyes: I don't think anyone was arrested although the guy who robbed it should have been.

    Just goes to show that while these "find my phone" etc apps are great the reality of rocking up on some unknown theifs doorstep demanding your stuff will not often end happily.

    If a few rugby players won't give a theif pause for thought the rest of us really haven't much chance.

    Rookie mistake, track it down wait till they leave the home with the item and use a well placed hand and retrieve it

    We don't all follow the same sources - where did Robbie delete posts? How do you know?

    He put something on instagram I think which has since been removed.

    It depends, but since he removed it there's no point in speculation.

    They got the laptop back the day after it was robbed. Fully intact. They took no notice of Marmion but "the thief" did indeed pause for thought when Bundee glared at him.

    There didn't seem to be any pause for thought in this video, or an atmosphere that would suggest a laptop was handed back.

    The video doesn't show all. It got sorted.

    It got sorted eventually yes, but I wonder had those guys not been known rugby players might it have turned even nastier faster.

    I suppose if you're turning up on someone's doorstep you'd want to do a bit of research first on who you're visiting. I don't think many of us would fancy our chances with certain well known families who always seem to have backup close at hand.

    The video quality is crap but it sounded like there was 1 or 2 slaps thrown in it. Anyone else think that.
