Royal Mail worker stole Six Nations tickets

[brothermagrew]

This has got to be one of the best threads ever.
Brothermagrew comes out as a fully paid up member of the flog 'em and hang 'em brigade.
And fishtank betrays his bleeding heart liberal tendencies.Who would have thought it.
Maybe FT sees a bit of his old self in this misguided teenager.???

Brothermagrew has nothing but admiration for Pierrepoint, Allen & Stewart. As to the one of the best threads brother clashcityrocker it's all about the input and differing views. I would be interested to read your perspective on the subject issue.

It was brilliant but then it got better.Pierrepoint - I bet that got some of the young ones scurrying for their wikipedia.
I have to say though that I am with fishtank and the bleeding heart liberals on this one.Silly young boy makes a silly mistake.Slap his wrist and send him home.I have got kids older than this lad.We/they all do stupid things.No need to start hanging people for it.
FFS - I didn't think anyone actually believed in bringing back the death penalty.I just thought it was a statistic Adrian Chiles made up to introduce a crappy item on the crappy One Show.
That said, if they did bring it back, it is a job I could do. But then I am a sociopath.

You will naturally forgive me brother clashcityrocker for correcting a few inaccuracies. I for the record do not believe in bringing back the death penalty, you will recall from my posting that I only suggested that he would probably get a paltry fine and maybe a suspended sentence instead of 5-10 years hard labour, at no point in my posting did I suggest that he should be either flogged or hanged that was your response posting which suggested that I was a fully paid up member of the flog 'em and hang 'em brigade. Again you made reference to silly young boy making a silly mistake and then thereafter no need to start hanging people for it. References that I made to Pierrepoint and others was in respect of them having a thankless job to do much like us posties.

Having said the above however, I fail to see that it was a silly mistake on his part, his intent was clear, the package containing the rugby tickets caught his eye and he took the package. Right or wrong in my book that is stealing or theft, regardless of the fact that he didn't use any of the tickets himself but rather gifted 18 of them to persons who had been generous to him in the recent past whilst the other 42 remained in his possession and simply expired. The tickets were not his to gift in the first place. Like all of us who are interested in this story we will just have to await the outcome of his sentencing at a later date. But IMHO he should receive some form of custodial sentence.

I stand corrected brothermagrew and I apologise if any offence was caused by my reading between the lines.
We had a thief in our office recently. Admitted to stealing for over 2 years and selling the stuff on e-bay.Got about 10 hours community service.

Unlike the guy who today got 200 hours community service for peeing on a war monument

Read the press reports and viewed the news broadcasting, as an Ex-Serviceman found his actions abhorent and a total disgrace, and IMHO he should have been made to appear on parade on Remembrance Sunday for the next 10 years as a reminder of the sacrifice that was made.

Royal Mail worker stole £3,600 worth of Six Nations rugby tickets

A TEENAGER who stole 60 rugby union tickets worth £3,600 while working at a Royal Mail sorting office in Sighthill was today ordered to carry out 220 hours of community service.
Benedict Nagle, 19, gave some of the Six Nations tickets to pals but others expired.

At an earlier hearing at Edinburgh Sheriff Court fiscal depute Aidan Higgins said the tickets were for games Scotland was playing against Wales, Italy and Ireland.

In total 20 of the £60 tickets were stolen for each game.

Mr Higgins said: "They were sent out by the Scottish Rugby Union by the Royal Mail to a corporate client.

"The accused had been taken on for a work placement by the Royal Mail and had impressed during the six-week placement and had been kept on.

"He was employed at a sorting centre at Sighthill and the package containing the rugby tickets caught his eye and he took the package.

"He gifted 18 tickets to persons who had been generous to him in the recent past.

"The other 42 remained in his possession and simply expired."

The court heard the client, Miller Group, first thought the tickets had gone missing in its offices.

But Nagle, a first offender, was caught when the tickets were used at games and were traced in the system.

The teenager admitted stealing the Scottish Rugby Union Tickets at the Royal Mail Sorting Office at Sighthill, Edinburgh, on 22 January last year.

He also admitted failing to appear at court on 9 November last year.

The court heard it had been an opportunistic theft and that Nagle had lost his job as a result.

Sheriff Derrick McIntyre told Nagle: "It is a serious breach of trust and if you had previous convictions you would have gone to prison."

Nagle was also fined £100 for the failing to turn up at court charge.

Sentence had previously been deferred on Nagle, of Inchkeith Court, Edinburgh, for the preparation of background reports.

He does not learn from his mistakes does he - hook, let off.

Who the HELL would steal tickets to watch Scotland play Rugby ???
The guy MUST be mentally deranged, or like watching dumn animals suffer, LOL!

( This IS A JOKE by the way, to all those Scottish fans out there...
Having watched Wales play since the 70's, we were crap too at one time.
Us Celts have to stick together to crush the common ENEMY...)
