| Well I hope they find the thug. However if they do he will probably get community service which he wont turn up to! I still think that the use of public humiliation (stocks, public caning, flogging, etc (I might stop at hanging and beheading)) is a better and cheaper option than prison.

I was very aware of the possibility of ambush through those narrow paths. Late in the evening it's very quiet in some parts. Probably best to keep to the main paths and not go alone. Especially if carrying gear.

Once the serial numbers are aired the gear will end up in the nearest river. In our town it's standard practise for thieves to offload what they can and then dump the rest off the 'cut' bridge. If they under slung the bridge with a net they would recover everything that was stolen for miles around! Personally I would prefer it to be publicised and lost. Don't want any gear back that someone has manhandled. That's what insurance is for.

| Is it possible to put a tracking device in your camera and lenses? .......would have to be on the mobile networks I suspect. Though it does make me wonder what satisfaction you'd get if you were mugged of your bag, which happened to contain 1) anthrax spores, 2) a bomb you could remotely detonate, 3) lethal tree frogs, 4) highly radioactive isotope. These people are scum bags, their excuse would be "not my fault I ain't got no job" ...neither have I but I don't go around bashing innocent people on the head or nicking stuff.

At last someone near to understanding how we went down the pan. i.e. we've gone down because of two quisling governments importing american ideology into the way our daily lives are governed: Non-public facing public sector. Swipe card access everywhere. Corporate model in just about everything. Spying on citizens. Pricing EVERYTHING. Giving the security services licence to do what the hell they like to anyone objecting to traitor government. Assassinating people who get in the way of illegal invasions. Giving nasty little illegal toys to the police, usually imported from the US. Covertly passing all UK citizens private data to the CIA. Knocking off anyone who 'could' pose a threat, but hasn't actually done anything. Spy cameras everywhere. Not difficult to see where the corporate-ism disease was imported from, and who by.

| Back to topic....whoever did this mugging has no excuse in my opinion, there is no mitigation for stealing from and bashing someone up who's probably worked hard for what he's got. Unforgivable, I hope they catch the coward.

The problem isnt America but it is the adoption of policies that are multi-national and then screaming when they dont work everywhere. Whilst some of the problems seem to come from America when you research the source and cause it is different. The USA as a free and open-minded country (in general, there are always exceptions) tend to be 'first adopters' and frequently pay the price for this.

| I think if you want to complain about something then look into the glass house and check this out........ FYI it is now illegal in UK for more than 20 people to gather together in a public place without notifying the police. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Order_Act_1986 Processions and assemblies Section 11 - Advance notice of public processions requires at least 6 clear days' written notice to be given to the police before most public processions, including details of the intended time and route, and giving the name and address of at least one person proposing to organise it; creates offences for the organisers of a procession if they do not give sufficient notice, or if the procession diverges from the notified time or route Section 12 - Imposing conditions on public processions provides police the power to impose conditions on processions "to prevent serious public disorder, serious criminal damage or serious disruption to the life of the community" Section 13 - Prohibiting public processions Chief Police Officer has the power to ban public processions up to three months by applying to local authority for a banning order which needs subsequent confirmation from the Home Secretary. Section 14 - Imposing conditions on public assemblies provides police the power to impose conditions on assemblies "to prevent serious public disorder, serious criminal damage or serious disruption to the life of the community". The conditions are limited to the specifying of: the number of people who may take part, the location of the assembly, and its maximum duration. Section 14A - Prohibiting trespassory assemblies added by section 70 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994, to control "raves" Section 16 - Public Assembly - Means an assembly of 20 or more persons in a public place which is wholly or partly open to the air. The UK is a police state controlled by the grey suits who decide what you can or cant do. So if you dont like it then you cant protest as less than 20 people is nothing and more than 20 is unlawful assembly and allows you to be arrested. UK has a great deal to learn about free speech and expression.

| OK so I have stated the UK law and Steve has made some assertions about things from USA. I think that we probably need to cool it in our responses and allow for the fact that there are people from all nationalities who are on this forum. Some statements that may be 'innocently' written may provide offense depending on tone, style or use of english. So let us all please be thoughtful and a little more considerate to others.

| Not sure I take this view as is anti-American in its slant. ....you can please yourself on that, fact is this government and the one before went all out to infect our lives with just about everything that makes american's lives a misery. Where do you think the 'security' industry explosion came from ? Tasers...electro-cardio disruption: banned under international treatise as a method of torture. Where do you suppose those devices are made? Inaccesible public office, where do you think that concept comes from? Police state....bash anyone who objects....from? yup, good old USA. I think if you want to complain about something then look into the glass house and check this out........

I think if you want to complain about something then look into the glass house and check this out........ FYI it is now illegal in UK for more than 20 people to gather together in a public place without notifying the police. .......just in case the public might get their hands on the traitors, can't allow that now can we. G20....a man was murdered by the government's SchutzStaffel, in total disregard of the fact that every Englishman has an enshrined right to demonstrate against corrupt government. The government are acting illegally in making these laws the first place. The UK is a police state controlled by the grey suits who decide what you can or cant do. So if you dont like it then you cant protest as less than 20 people is nothing and more than 20 is unlawful assembly and allows you to be arrested. ..........and these 'police' take their orders from the government, who ultimately take their orders from? The USA as a free and open-minded country .......LOL, what ? umm yeah right ok. Whilst some of the problems seem to come from America when you research the source and cause it is different. .........Most come from the US, since if you hadn't noticed every office which affects our daily lives is going flat out to adopt the american corporate model. Then again JK I wouldn't expect you to understand this since you're not exposed to it. This is not anti-american, I don't care where this rotten corporate imperial ideology comes from, fact is it doesn't belong here. UK has a great deal to learn about free speech and expression. .....No, the government has.

I agree. But it is a great place for grown ups as well. If only I could get a residents permit. You can get one, if you've got a few million in the bank. Then they'll let you in. Being a British Crown subject doesn't have much to do with it. Canada is the same, except there you don't need money providing you can speak french, and drive on the wrong side of the road.
