I had a whole lot of stuff stolen from me a few years back, cancelled my cards etc. and went on with my life.
About 1.5years later i got a phone call from the police asking me to come and collect my licence/bankcard/creditcard from the police station because they had caught the guys. Was a nice feeling knowing they had been caught but still makes me a bit angry thinking they probably got a slap on the wrist and went on their way.
