Last thing we, as divers, want is someone to get stabbed with it and us ending up as prime suspects - a little far fetched i know but what if.......... even more so if they can trace the knife back to you!!! hmmmmm... ok you've got this thread as proof but still best be on the safe side and let them know. At least they can make the call and tell you to go away. best to bother them for 2 mins than end up in the preverbial!

Little H is right mainly cause its a Knife. Dont look at it as £70 its your property and could be used for criminal purposes!! Then you would have to explain why you didn't report it!!

Sorry to hear about this, especially as I as a Self employed Plasterer, have had the keys to many customers houses, It make me sick that the little scroat could do this, he's got no need to steal, as he's probably earning a decent wage.

And it's through gits like him that we all get a bad name, which can be very fustrating and annoying, but after hearing of your story, I can understand why people are getting more and more untrusting

I get most of my work through a advert in the local paper, and know that If the paper recieves 3 or more complaints about a tradesman, they will stop him advertising in there paper, not sure if yellow pages have a similar scheme, ( but I doubt it ).

If I were you, I'd try and hurt his business, by trying to get his adverts pulled out of the papers.

I'll put down to experience and pass the word around about the 'suspected' theif.

I would ring the police and get them to go round his house........

A KNIFE HAS GONE MISSING....... maya small item to you.......


BUT what if that knife gets loose and ends up getting stuck into some old ladies bodies , while a scumbags runs off with her handbag,,,,,, and it has got your finger prints all over it


Specials and Com Cops, not worth a wa*k.........

the problem with this kind of thing is that you can report it to the police, but telling anyone else is slander.....weird when you think about it

[Mr T.]

I don't think being trusting in itself can be criticised - the heat should flow the other way on to those who seek to take advantage of the trustworthy.

Ring him up again and tell him that you have chatted to a police friend about
it and rather than being a minor matter, a stolen very sharp diving knife is
seen as an offensive weapon and very serious indeed.

Say that you really dont want to get anybody into trouble if it was a genuine
mistake, but that you will be making an official report tommorrow which will
naturally include his name and address as the last person in the garage.

Ask him to have a look in his toolbox just in case it found its way there.
Say that you are going to the police station at 12 in your lunch break
after that, it will be in the hand of the police.

If he doesnt find it or you dont get a call from him. Actually go in and make a
statement.
