What would you do if you saw someone wearing your stolen jacket?

Rezident

Your good jacket and all. Stolen in The Village, Dublin, last Saturday, my own fault for leaving something unattended in Dublin but still. Highly distinctive, bright-blue almost fluorecsent, bought abroad, don't exactly see many similar jackets in Dublin.

I walk through the area twice a day for work, plus around at weekends, I might see someone wearing it, someone who cannot explain where such an unusual jacket was bought.

What would you do?

hondasam

Nothing I would not wear it again after someone else wearing it.

OutlawPete

Say: 'Give me that jacket back, it's mine!'

InReality

kill them with my mind.

Full.Duck

Well if they can fit into your jacket they would be the same size as you. Its would be a fair fight. But i think finders keepers rule applies here.

MungBean

Stalk em and steal it back.

Open a laundrette in the area.
Wait for jacket-wearer to walk by and have a friend throw a fake bird plop mixture on them from above window.
Witness said ploppage, and rush outside and offer to clean jacket at a knock down price.
Once jacket is now in your possession, close down laundrette and assume your normal life.

Simple really.

Your good jacket was flourescent blue?

Sounds like the thief did you a favour.

Sounds an awful lot like a jacket I bought from a charity shop recently...

Something like that did happen to me, it was a dress- that I had made myself so there was no chance of a mistake - that had been in my wardrobe and I met it coming down a corridor of the government department where I worked! And it was not a friend' who had 'borrowed' it. Won't bore you with details, but will just say it was in a third world country, many years ago.

You can't half-tell a story like that! Was Robert Mugabe wearing your dress?

ok we'll call that plan A.

Sierra 117

Cover it in petrol and light it on fire, while they are wearing it.

Archeron

Tell the person wearing it that it makes their bum look big. Nobody likes to hear that.

Chuck Stone

I didn't steal it.

I actively found it.

frag420

Put sh!t in the pockets and tell them you saw a swallow fly into one of the pockets and then when they out their hand in to check........bam, sh!tty fingers!!

Then run!!

shanered

Would ask them =something, after a lil chit-chat say nice jacket, then ask them how they got it, tell them that you had one just like that once but left it behind in the village one night, go on to tell them some rotten story about it and hope for the best.

orchidsrpretty

This has kind of happened to me before. My cousin(who I barely knew) was staying in my house. She was going out one night and I commented that the dress she was wearing was very like one that I had. She replied "oh we must have the same taste in clothes". I went looking for the dress in my wardrobe and it was gone!
Also when she was moving out she kindly left a big pile of clothes, shoes and bags that she had borrowed, without asking me. I wouldn't have minded if she had asked me or we were close friends, but we were pretty much strangers.

Your *stolen* jacket - No honour among theives? Seems from the title that you stole it first :P

You left your dress in a night club?

Seems a little harsh, I might take it off first.

Lol, that's a good deal closer than I might have expected...

This exact thing happened to a friend of mine, he left his jacket in the pub by mistake, rang the next day and was told it wasnt found.
He went in say the following weekend to see one of the bar staff coming on for their shift wearing his jacket. It was a pretty unique jacket so could be spotted a mile of. Anyway the staff denied denied denied and it was brought to the manager he basically said to my friend 'prove its yours'. As far as I know the staff member was let go not to long after it but the friend still never got his jacket back

Beat the snot out of him then take the jacket and smother him with then dump body in a garbage truck where it will be compressed to a paper thin string of misery. Then skip the country to avoid finger being pointed at you.....

Was that the answer you were looking for??

:-) :-) don't think so :-) :-)

Follow him and when no one is looking, Bust him.

A guy stole a pair of cargo shorts from my shop. About a week later we saw him and his girlfriend walking near St Stephens Green and he was wearing the shorts. Followed him into the Stephen's Green Centre and they went into TK Maxx where I confronted them. Ended up in a bit of a scuffle and the security asked us to leave. I left with the shorts and left him standing on the shop floor in his boxers.

I had a similar incident a few years ago. Leather jacket stolen from pub, I was facing a 5 mile motorbike ride on a cold night, with no jacket. Jacket had a few old war wounds, so was fairly unique.
Outside a nearby chipper I saw a guy wearing my jacket, he had a few mates with him. I walked up to him, wearing my motorbike helmet, carrying a heavy lock & chain, punched him in the stomach, then told his mates to take my jacket off him.

wiger toods

hide in the ditch until they come walking by, then jump out and throw a tin of paint over them! Maybe you should shave all your pubes too, you know stuff like that, and add it too the tin of paint the night before you attack. Also, you should fill a coke bottle with a rake of piss, but not the 2L bottle cause that would be too much and you could throw that over them too. Either that or buy another jacket. whichever's easier for you.

FueledByAisling

Personally I'd follow them around for a while like a creep and wait for them to sit down and take it off somewhere then I'd slyly steal it off the chair

Rezident

Decisions decisions. Will report back, possibly via psudonym.

"distinctive, bright-blue almost fluorecsent"...

Well you were not the only gay in The Village.

None of my gay friends would be caught dead in it in fairness and they don't go around stealing people's clothes either because they're not skangers.

Apart from ebay and dealdone.ie does anyone know where else do skangers sell stolen stuff in Ireland? Cheers.

Cillian13

I'd follow him until he put the jacket down, knock one off into the pocket and leave him have it. That'll learn him!

I was in the Village last Saturday but didn't see anyone wearing a bright blue jacket.

I was wearing a dark blue rain coat though. I flung it callously in the corner and it was still there when I came back.

Cheap jackets you don't care about are the best ones to wear out.

Post a photo of this jacket my good man. Henceforth whenever anyone on here sees him we will promise to whisper to whoever is near us and look over at him, pointing slyly. Not just when we see him in the jacket, we'll take a good hard luck at his face so that anytime he goes out in public from that moment on he will constantly have people whispering and pointing at him where ever he goes. Then one day he'll crack and break down in the middle of the street, fall to his knees and start screaming out "what are you all whispering at!!!!". His behaviour will become more and more (seemingly) paranoid to his friends and family over the course of the next two years or so. Eventually they will have no choice but to admit him to a mental institution against his will for his own safety.

That's stage one. Next we need to track down his first girlfriend and childhood sweetheart and rake up some serious dirt on her so we can blackmailing her into helping us carry out stage two.

There are twelve stages.

Just how much do you want this jacket back?

I take offence to that. I can be fancy :pac:

EI_Flyboy

If someone is wearing your jacket, they're in reciept of stolen goods, best wait til you have a Gard with you before approaching them and it'd be a very good idea to be able to prove the jacket is yours.

ballsacky

I would give them a swift kick in the hole.
