    So in some cases (wankers want to pay less than true value) best to bid in auction on your own stuff? at least you know the condition/mods.

    Only if you want it, by the time stuff is recovered a lot of people have already replaced there stuff of decided they have "better" uses for the cash.

    I used to buy a lot of stuff,mostly push bikes, from insurance company's that police had recovered-normally very cheep.
    The insurance company's do everything in the idea that nothing gets recovered so they treat any $ as a bonus.

    Yeah if I was getting recovered firearms back I would be wanting a gunsmith to check them over. They probably wont get the guns back, they are long gone, but they got prints and other stuff that the person left behind so can put the person in the house.

    No such thing as long gone, there's always a trail. The trail starts with this hopefully identified offender and goes on from there. Along the trail all sorts of interesting items and people will turn up. Just needs a keen tracker.

    Say the burglar gets caught, convicted. Refuses to reveal who he on sold the guns to. Should the burglar then get less than the maximum sentence available to the judge? I don't think he should- 8 years in the tanty, byebye arsehole

    Tommy throw the book at them.
    No time for that shit from anyone, what gives that person the right to think that they can take something that does not belong to them.
    Whether he grasses his mates up or not should be taken in to account. If he grasses them up they all do the time, if he doesn't then he should serve all of their sentences. Maybe make him think more than once.

    Can I just add my 2cents worth... if it goes to trial won't the police need to hang on to the evidence until then? you would be looking a long time down the track before you got them back, also they won't come back if they are used in a separate crime even if the owner is identified. Don't quote me though, on that or anything else

    https://www.snap.org.nz Is a good place to save photos and serial numbers of all your stuff.
    You can only save 1 photo of each item (I think) but you can list the same item several times with different photos.

    I had emailed serial numbers etc. to myself, but could never find the email, or the file on my computers.

    I had an experience where the insurance company weren't keen on paying for a watch I lost as I didn't have any photos of it or the serial number. They were even looking for photos of me wearing the watch. They Agreed to replace it in the end, but the watch turned up before I got around to sorting a new one.

    I've added most of expensive or likely to get stolen stuff to snap.org.nz and keep doing a few more things as
    I get time. Makes you think about how much stuff you'd have to replace if you get cleaned out, and if you have enough insurance cover.

    AA were pretty damn good, new for old policy on the lot so worth a look. Read the fine print and make sure everything is covered.

    Sorry, wrong on both points. They get them back fairly quickly as long as it's not a major trial and they've been thoroughly examined already. If they have been used in a seperate crime they will still be returned, otherwise it would be like the courts refusing to return a stolen car because it was used as a getaway in a robbery.
