    • Nothing will happen in regard to this one shoplifting event, other than Sainsburys won't let you shop in this store again.   But, if you continued to shoplift, then the consequences are more serious. Local to me, there  is a town where about 13 people have been banned from shopping in many of the shops. They are subject to some form of order, where if they set foot in any of the stores, they will be subject to arrest by Police.  
    • Agree with DX, Sadly, from the pics, it looks like you're bang to rights😪 The rules are very explicit. Before entering the box, you must ensure that you are able to completely exit. It looks like the car in front may have moved a couple of feet and tempted you to set off, but when you did that, there still wasn't enough room to completely exit the box. By all means ask to see the video evidence, but saying you had to stop because the vehicle in front stopped, isn't a valid defence.
    • Hello, welcome to CAG. I imagine the letter that the security guards talked about will be a letter from a company or lawyers who specialise in trying to extract money from shoplifters. I think Sainsbury's use DWF solicitors, otherwise it could be a company like RLP. It won't be a 'fine', only the police can do that. Look at this as a parallel 'justice' system that doesn't involve the plice. If you read around the forum for other cases of shoplifting, you'll get the idea of how this all works. If you think your behaviour has become compulsive, we suggest having a chat with your GP who should get you help for this. Best, HB

    • Hi all…. i was wondering if someone could help me. I am ashamed I have been caught shoplifting from Sainsbury’s by two undercover security guards who I suspect have been following me for a week now… I have been impulsively shoplifting due to what I think could have become an addiction of some kind. I am ashamed of what I had been doing and I do believe being caught has been for the greater good. i was taken to a room and asked to empty my bag, the guards were slightly rude but I complied with them politely as I know they are just doing their job and I am in the wrong. They retrieved my address, name, birthdate and took a photo of me, they asked me how many times I had shoplifted and I said twice and I didn’t want to be foolish and say just once. They issued me a letter of ban from the store and if I was caught in the store again the police would be called. They told me I would be paying 2x what I had stolen today as the goods had been damage which I am guessing is stole around £65 worth roughly. I did offer to pay for the items I had stolen on the day but they declined. They did not call the police but let me leave after claiming I was a lucky person. They told me to expect a letter in the post and that I “would be smart not to ignore it”  what should I be expecting in the post from them? I am aware from reading a lot online about security costs.. people mentioned to ignore these costs however as I had damaged the labelling on the goods should I still comply and pay the fines ?  kind regards awful shoplifter

    • Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

so basically my name has been tarnished by Mr H

 

The Police probably won't release the email without a court order, so you have to make a formal complaint to them and as apart of the complaint they should look into who sent it.

We could do with some help from you.

Yes, speak to the officer concerned and make it clear to them that you will lodge a formal complaint with their inspector if this is not looked into further.

Would the email be included in a SAR to the police?

 

You can't send the police an SAR. In harassment cases, it is only a judge that can order the release of the information to the accused. Hence making a complaint about the accusation and conduct of the officer concerned, forcing them to look into it further.

Hi unclebulgaria67 police can be sar, sar includes details held on pnc and details of past cases directly involving the subject can be requested. I got details for it at home as I've recently sent a sar request and just waiting a reply. I won't be home till tomorrow but can forward the details on if needed.

Have £20k+ in debt, seriously want to be debt free, currently in temporary accomodation and having business problems.

Yes post up the details if you have proof that police have to release details of harassment allegations following an SAR.

 

I think you will find that you can only get hold of certain information held about you on databases. This is when it relates solely to you.

We could do with some help from you.

I was only asking if details of the email would be released in a sar, I.e a copy of the alleged email.

You can't SAR the police but you can do a specific data access request persuant to the pre-court protocols. Are the police aware there is a court case about this?

Mr Hart told them that the case was now closed.

You will obviously keep checking with the court, just in case !!!

 

Advice stands about making the complaint if you want the Police to look into who sent the email. They might refuse citing cost reasons, so you might need to speak to an inspector.

My understanding is that as long as the data requested is solely relevant to the person requesting it, and does not involve a third parties details.

It seems to me that the issue here is that the Met have simply taken Hart at his (deeply dubious) word, and rather than investigate - and confirm what Hart says about the court case, for example - have taken the easy option and issued a template letter. Ads needs to take this further, by speaking to the officer and making clear that has not sent any harassing emails; in fact, it is the other way round and Hart is trying to manipulate the police into harassing Ads on his behalf. Ads must make clear that he will make a formal complaint against police if this is not looked into properly. It would, for example, be very easy for the officer to phone the court and discover that the case has not been discontinued.

I have an observation about the latest developments on this thread, but dont wanna post it in the open...

 

Can I PM it to one of the more senior people who are involved here first of all to see what they think?

Amazing thread and story all of this is lol

If the court case has been stopped then its a case of job done on op's part really, they just need to clarify it officially from the court just to be on safe side.

If the police started chasing everyone who sends bad emails then they'd be knocking on virtually everyone's door quite frankly as most people have done things like that to one extent or another since email was invented. im not saying its not a bad thing to do just that the police have a bad enough time trying to even find the local burglar or mugger these days never mind chasing up everyone who says bad things over the internet! lol

I can't believe all the latest twists and turns! Ads, you have more than enough evidence to report Mr H for harassment, so I would consider reporting this to the police also.

 

The whole 'phone call from the "police officer" seems very fishy......why would she know anything about paypal payments etc etc?? The ins and outs of the claims against you re the alleged debt are not a police matter at all.

 

You know I am definitely on your side on this one. Take care!

Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday, and all is well!

From what i can conclude wouldnt it better to see what Mr H does next if anything at all? sounds to me like that man is rattled and may now realize that messing with ads is no longer worth his while. If ads hears no more from him then great. I just hope that next person Mr H targets finds cag as well sooner than later.

Losing the plot on this - can someone fill me in please?

Try loosing the will to live.....

From going so high as to seeing a light at the end of the tunnel to have it turned around and make myself not the victim but the culprit is beyond belief. Mr Hart if you are reading this, you succsessfuly broke an ill person, but guess what I am a great believer that KARMA is a bitch, liars, cheats and underhandedness (i know its not a word) screws us all in the end. NB This is not a threat of harrassment or libal -- MODS please edit post if you believe so.
