Cheers Guys.

The police will be taking the item anyway, they may need it as evidence further down the line,

Please remember i dont know if the guy who sold it to me was aware it was stolen.

I bought it in good faith for a fair price, im not worried about the police in the respect of recieving stolen goods as i have a receipt, Emails and it was bought unbeknowing, i have discussed this with a friend who is a copper and he said dont worry,

im pisssed of more because not only have i lost the best part of £250, i now have to spend another £300 to buy a replacement

I really could do with the money back
