how to report a stolen item?

[broken_line]

theres a kid that goes to my school, and he has been bragging about getting a free radio from the local motor sports dealership. i just played stupid and looked over the radio. it is worth a good $180 and is a marine radio with the wires snipped. this kid has been stealing alot of things from stores and people lately and i want to put a stop to it. what would be a good thing to do?? take a pic of the radio in the car, entire car, licence plate # and bringing that to the store?

I would just call the local authorities.

Why not call the police?

brought the photos and information to the motor sports store, put the sd card into their computer looked at the pics, walked out to the shed to look at the boats, sure enough one of the pontoons didnt have a radio and wires were all cut police get called, he is there with in 3 min everyone tells thier story and im guessing this kid is screwed for the radio and putting tomato soup and a pop can jammed up the pipe on my truck cuz he thought it would be funny.

Good for you! The police can only do so much, its up to us to report any info that will help keep crime down.

thanks guys! there is roumor going around that its me. that turned him in, and kids are saying that its wrong to point out another persons wrong. and that the boat dealership should have figured it out them selves.

i would be madder than heck if i bought the boat and there was no radio or had to buy a new one and install it because some [PoorWordUsage] took it.

People that think turning in a criminal is wrong generally haven't been on the receiving end of criminal activity.

If the other kid is dumb enough to be publicly bragging and showing off his stolen goods he wasn't long for being a thief anyway.

You did the right thing.. everyone who said that you shouldnt have, is probably too chicken to stand up for what is right...

He keeps vandalizing your truck, call the cops again. Thats my biggest pet peeve in the world.
