Updatey the third...

In exciting news, the Hackney Council charge was indeed a parking ticket, and they did indeed give me the registration plate of the vehicle involved.

In less exciting news, when I reported all this to the local police they basically said "Hereisyourcrimereferencenumberhaveaniceday". When I asked about the possibility of actually using the information to catch someone, they got a bit shifty... I have to call back in a week to find out whether they decided to bother investigating or not. Bit disappointing considering I potentially just gave them the thief's home address.

While I try to keep positive about the police, my girlfriend would cite this as yet another example of police uselessness. I agree with other posters - pass the details to the bank, and they can use their well greased solicitors to proceed if they see benefit in it.

Good luck for getting it all sorted - at least sufficent to ensure least inconvenience and loss to you...
