Stolen Goods

eagle10

I know this is a long shot but basically.
There was a theft from a car at 11am yesterday (sunday 1/1/2011) outside st josephs church on presentation road in the city.

A man was seen acting suspicious trying to interfere with a pay and display machine perhaps this is the person responsible fro the theft.
The stolen items were containd within a silver colour flightcase measuring approx 1.5' x 1.5' x 6"

If any one thinks they may know anything I would really appreciate some info.

This incident has been reported to the guards but anyone has any information please feel free to pm me or report to guards in millstreet.

Are we to be suspicious of any items that will fit inside those dimensions or have you a few more details maybe?

What do you mean by this post and Why do you need more details?
If you seen nothing dont bother posting, If you know or seen something pm me or contact millstreet station

More then likely the person that stole the goods are likely to flog the contents from inside the case and not the case itself, do tell unless the stuff that's in the case is illegal.

It seems likely that the item(s) could have been separated from the flight case.

Some more detail about what was in it, without need to be too specific might be helpful.

You haven't found something and want to make sure someone doesn't just say "oh that's mine" if you describe it.

Without more info, you are saying that we should be suspicious of any item of that size being sold.

I'm trying to get a quick sale on something that would fit in that flight case, so maybe I can't trust myself.

I kinda wanted to help originally, but given your responses, I couldn't really give a toss anymore.

Is a Flightcase a silver coloured one padded on the inside? I haven't seen anything but just so clarify in case someone has the wrong picture in their head (like I might have)

Daylight robbery an absolute disgrace I walked by that way to town but didnt see anything out of the ordinary just that there was a funeral going on.

I suppose the case if fairly distinctive if you embed a pic it may trigger something in someones memory.

The case is the same but the contents are different this is a promo pick

I went down Presentation Road on Sunday morning as well and saw plenty of illegal activity. Cars parked on the footpath. I was disgusted.

Would you fit a jar of manners in that case??

To the best of my knowledge the person who stole these is not Irish he wore a hat and had a backpack.

All that secrecy for a box of pedals,had my head in overdrive thinking all sorts of things:D

Good luck with the search Eagle,you'll need it.

magentas

what is with all the d!ckhead posts here?!

this guy had his property stolen from his car by some scumbag, he comes on here to see if anyone can help him out if anyone saw anythinng in the area of presentation road on sunday morning and all he get's is smartarse comments about "illegal contents"

yeah that's why he went to the cops about it, to report a case of stolen heroin!:rolleyes:

I can see from the link to thread that it's musical equipment but it was hardly all that important in the first place, all he wanted to know was did anyone see anything suspicious.
I'm sure people in that circle in galway(music) would have been informed and if I found stuff like that I'd have no idea what it was

out of 25 posts only 2 (das kitty and inishboffin) were in any way helpful,
why post up stupid comments about the contents and illegal parking?!

this forum is getting rediculously pathetic when someone looking for help about stolen property is sneered at and only given smartarse replies:mad:

Back on topic, I wasn't in that area at that time eagle but if I hear of anything will post. maybe keep an eye on on-line adverts selling stuff like that

This might have something to do with it magentas!

Serious attitude adjustment needed!

kraggy

Enough of the smart-arsed replies.

It's perfeclty clear that because of the thread title, some of you may have thought that the OP was asking you to look out for particular goods which may or may not have been sold from a silver case.

However, if you read the first post properly, you'd have understood that the OP was in actual fact asking if anyone was in the area at the time and saw:

a: anyone acting suspiciously near a car

or

b: someone carrying a silver case.

you take that whatever way you want

so back on topic, did anybody see anyone acting suspiciously around 11am outside church on presentation road sunday morning that may be of assistance to OP or guards?
or anytime that day carrying a silver case like what's in the pic

magentas

PS sorry about your stuff getting stolen OP, hopefully some helpful boardsies will have spotted something and let you know

there's a lot of scum in this town unfortunately, I've heard of a lot of stuff stolen over Christmas and houses broken into, very upsetting for victims of these crimes

Now let me see.

My first post on this board. I've heard nothing but rave reviews about the city but have never actually went out in it (went to college in Dublin for a few years, had a few nights out in Limerick and had stag weekends in Waterford and Kilkenny)....what should I be looking out for that particular weekend (November 12 and 13), what bars/clubs would come highly recommended and what sort of policy have the hotspots regards stag dos? We're a crowd of GAA lads up from Wexford for the weekend FWIW*

*my attendance very much depends on how my club fairs in the Leinster club championship this weekend!!

Looks like this thread is going nowhere no one seen anyone acting suspiciously no one seen anyone with a silver flightcase.

Thanks to everyone that had some positive feedback, and to the rest of you I hope your in the same situation someday and got the same reaction I did:)

RDM_83 again

OP sorry if this is obvious but
You should keep a look out on Buy and Sell, adverts.ie and especially Gumtree.ie (always seems to me a lot dodgier than the first two) that said I can't see some lad selling it in Galway knowing the size of the city and the likelyhood your looking for it but via gumtree in Limerick or Dublin could be worth a look.

eagle10

Cheers gumtree never crossed my mind

OP i hope you find your belongings. I do think you came across quite aggressive early on. Maybe your annoyance to having your property stolen came through. I hope i'm never in this situation myself but if i am i think i'll try be a little bit more gracious in asking for help.
Best of luck OP.

I have a place just around the corner from this incident. I have removed a guy from around my premises twice over the last week who was eastern european. He had a back pack, a black woolly hat and was most likely homeless due to his appearance.
When I confronted him he said he was looking for a money that people might have dropped in the car park.
Anyway if I see him again I will contact garda.

Someone looking for information : check.

In fairness - I thought those replies were funny. That was someone looking for information which was A LITTLE less serious than this situation to say the least.

At the end of the day, somebody broke into the OP's car and stole property. I can understand his apparent annoyance at people asking questions about the contents - he wasn't asking if you'd been sold anything or seen the contents, he was asking if anyone saw a suspicous person acting suspiciously and carrying a case. Nothing more.

Instead of yes or no answers, he got questions about the contents which are not really all that relevant. Who cares if it was a case of heroin or methamphetamine or whatever? The question was simple, did anyone see anything. The contents are irrelevant. Somebody stole from him.

No need to be getting up on your high horses because he wasn't forthcoming with gory details.

Sheesh...

Don't mind your sheesh, I think all people wanted was a bit of manners from the OP.

laidarnuca

I really cant see what OP did wrong.

Am I missing something.

OP'S stuff was stolen he asked did anyone see anything

It was clear to me that OP was appealling to people that may have been in the area or may have seen someonewith a silver case to pass on some information.

Then people started to quiz them about what wasin the case, does it really matter?

Could someone please explain to me what the OP did wrong.

In my opinion OP done nothing wrong.
It is also my opinion that people took advantage of OP's distressed state and just tried to RISE him.

Please review this thread post by post and you will see OP really done nothing wrong;)

manners FROM the OP...how about showing manners towards the OP???

you have property stolen from your car, you go looking for help asking did anyone see anyone/thing suspicious in a very specific area at a specific time and you get harrassed with accusations suggestions of illegal contents

have a look on the link OP posted to music forum about their stolen gear and see what "helpful" responses look like, makes the galway city forum look pretty sh!tty in comparison:(

Maybe you should read post 2 and 3. Post 2 was a genuine query. The OP's response could have been better. Got it?

By the way OP I hope you do get it back, I have friends that work down that side and I did ask them if they noticed anything amiss, to no avail unfortunately.

why would someone ask is there something suspicious about the contents?
why wouldn't someone ask why would someone ask such a stupid ignorant and irrelevant question?
