I worked at Sony for nearly 19 years and the amount of times people with so called high morals asked me if I could get any nicked gear was unbelieveable. including a very high ranking bloke in the RAF  who asked me on more than one occasion if I could get him any stuff via the back door as he put it.

buying hookey gear is a sign that you are bent

 a guy i know  does it all the time(not a w/c) , he has a big house, 2 flash motors,huge boat and prides himself he has never bought a drop of diesel as he nicks it all from work. has a top very responsible job but  cant stop messing around 

 now heres me,got very little materially but hey i know which id rather be  ,honest joe soap

i personally wudnt buy cheap gear knowing to be
stolen just for the fact that most wc i know r family men

surely wud be dean tab as he is one of the boys in blue
lol lol every one else id av to say wud 100% buy lol  ;)

So if someone nicked your gear that wouldnt be a problem then? Maybe you could meet them in an alley somewhere and but your gear back? ::)

The consequences of being caught and possible damage to the reputation of your business should be considered before buying any gear that is stolen.
