I have highlighted where they went wrong, very strong chance they would have been okay if they had kept away from pirating Thai material.

True. Lots of raids of this nature too. The police have been stepping things up. Doubt it'll change the supply much though.

Odd how no one admitted to owning the stash or knowing anything. Can't imagine why.....!

Thats where I got my Blackberry stolen in June 2008. I am glad the police have finally followed up on the complaint I made about that place and I look forward to getting my phone back.
