How the hell is there no way of getting someone out of your property and how can the boss in the first case be the one punished and the real culprit let off.

This can be taken any way you want it - but that is what you get for being a twat.

Sounds about right to me. nrico2006, do you seriously think a man walking through the streets like this . . .

. . . was not behaving under duress?

Not to mention that f**king necklace that twat is wearing. Thats almost worth a 13 thousand pound fine in itself.

Personally I would have though Norman Cook had enough in the bank rather than worry about somebody stealing £845 from him.

Wake up and smell the coffee, this happens to you and me every day! Through the taxes we are paying to bail out the Bankers every day!

Justice was served, the boss is a tool. Hope the judge awards the victim a lot more and jails the boss and his helpers.

A, your man was guilty of theft and fraud for writing the cheque. I wonder did he have to pay it back?? A caution seems a bit light.

B, the Boss was out of order for parading him down the street with a placard on the front, that's something you'd see outside a west Belfast chapel back in the day. He must have challenged it all the way to have legal fees of £8K.

How is the boss the tool in all this? Man steals from him, gets paraded down the street. He is lucky, the boss could have beat lumps out of him instead.

lucky? i do not think he was lucky at all. paraded by a civilian that had no right to detain,cuff or put that sign on him. the boss was definetly a tool and he paid the price for his vigilante behaviour.
imagine how the world would operate if everyone that has a grudge starts taking the law into their own hands, for example, i see your tail light is broken so i pull you over and arrest you for it, or i see you throwing a cigarette butt on the street and decide to arrest you for littering and refusing to obey the law.
do you get the picture? the boss did not and justice was served on him. some people just get on a power trip.

He said: 'They laid into me, they beat me, I was begging Simon to let me go to the police, they said they didn't trust me and they had to tie me up.
'They were punching me and threatened me with various tools. They showed me the sign and made me say it out loud three times.

My view is, if you're going to beat him over the stolen money, do not go to the police afterwards. That is what makes him a tool. Vigilantism I am ok with, as the justice system can be a complete let down sometimes.

I don't see how a person would take seeing a tail light out or cigarette butt dropped on the street as an event that would lead them to frog march the culprit to a police station with a sign over their shoulders highlighting their offence. Different matter if you catch someone stealing from you.

How do you think the boss got the thief to make such a spectacle of himself? By asking nicely?
