Yeah. Reminds me of a funny one in France where a stolen car had a tracker and it's location, behind a garage door, was known. But the police was saying: "Nothing can be done".

Turns out: the owner of the car had a friend who was a farmer. He came up with a tractor and ripped the garage door apart.

That was his definition of "nothing can be done".

If motherfuckers play dirty, play dirty with the motherfuckers.

my brother had a motorcycle stolen, and police didnt do shit. Eventually my brother managed to find out who stole it, and police still did not want to come. Turns out the thief also had some problems(owing money) with hells angels. A deal was struck with the fine angels, and the location of the perp was exchanged with (later that day) a recovered motorcycle. He was told the guy probably wouldnt be stealing motorcycles for a while :)

If one must negotiate with gangsters to get justice then it's time to reform the system.

well yeah, the regime is 100% out of control. Also, it was a pretty short negotiation, pretty much like: "yo, i give you location, i get my property??" "deal."
