My friend was involved in a jewellery fraud, and lost two expensive items. One item was sold to a pawn shop and from there sold and ended up on eBay where it was found recently. Anyway, the bloke who actually stole the items was found guilty and sent to prison late last year and at the time the court made a restitution order. The item is now in the hands of the police.
There was 12 counts of fraud of which his made up two. The police officer said he may or may not get his property back because of that order. Do you know if that means the police might sell the item and give the money to someone else on the order who has suffered a greater loss or would it be sold and the money apportioned or will he just get his item back?
Would appreciate any views and ideas.
