she could have said something a bit more serious on the phone to em.

that would have made them turn up quick.

Police rip: call and say guy got a knife and possible gun. they will be there in under five minutes guaranteed.

I chased a 'fully steaming' in a bar in my hometown once (owned by a foriegn gentleman). About 60 in for £105.

Popped downstairs to the Hof, first board £35, necked my pint and went to leave.

Stopped at the door by said foreign gentlemans portley occumplice with words to the effect of "you're not going anywhere mate". Him and his 2 doormen, lead me to the back of the pub where are up forced to empty my pockets. Said fat c**t counts my coins and starts kicking off to the bouncers about how I'm cheating his machines.

Cut a long story short, get my wallet and phone back but before I can grab my coins and physically picked up and thrown out the door.

Passing coppers stop to ask me what's going on thinking I must have been causing trouble. I explain that I've basically just been mugged (effectively) and they go in to have a word...."oh good" I think, I should get my coins back.

Police return saying that I'd been cheating the machines (forcing them to repeat apparently) and I was lucky I wasn't being arrested. All my details were taken and I was told I'd be "best off not playing any more machines if I didn't want the be nicked".

I was fuming and had to walk home as I had no other cash on me and ended up £200+ down! Police eh? :roll:

You have to be a bit cleverer than that as if not you could get done for lying.

Say something like "it appears he is concealing a knife"

That way, big stuff but your not committing yourself to it!

If this is totally true, and you were not doing the note changer / tooling / or any dodgy on/off trick, why did you not continue to argue with the police? At the very least writing to the chief constable? You should of reported a case of theft, then the police would have had to investigate properly - which almost definitely would include CCTV which would have cleared you. No way you should accept that rubbich from the police.

well guys I know it seems hard to beleive the amount of coppers that turnt up but thats exactly what happened.

Just to add, It was a monopoly! no tools, key-up or plugs involved! not even a friggin streak lol

Oh and by the way, They were totally uninterested in our theft claim they said that would be a civil matter!

God im so angry still !!
Right so the plug on the left is the cash attack and the other is the karaoke? ok..

NOW!
CLUNK!
SILENCE, Drink up we're leaving!!

Ah...Mouse. just spotted your post.

I didn't really argue at the time because I'd been out on a Traditional all day pint & punt session with PMK and couldn't argue my way out of a paper bag.

I didn't follow it up because the establishment is owned by some real dodgy f**kers and the last thing I need is to be hunted down bu Psycho Turks for the sake of £200...otherwise I would have argued all the way.

For the record, I've NEVER used a tool in my life.
