    He's giving himself up for the fashion police so you may remain free.

    He is your hero.

    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?

    I tell ya what i would do, i would do the same thing i did when it happened to me in WESTPORT on a stags night,I Put my head onto his in what looks like a fast loving way. waited till he lay down and tookmy jacket back.

    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.

    hide in the ditch until they come walking by, then jump out and throw a tin of paint over them! :D 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.

    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

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

    ..and someone else stole it?


    Well you were not the only gay in The Village.

    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.

    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.

    What would you do?

    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?

    Sounds like the thief did you a favour.

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

    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.

    I would give them a swift kick in the hole.
