Default Dambusters logbook

Here's the outcome of the Bateman 'Dambusters' logbook theft. So there is justice (and a God) after all.

Once he has done his time ( however long that might be with good behaviour etc ) they shouldn't release him until he says where the logbook is.

P.B.

Peter,
that would infringe on his human rights. He would then get a big claim

I hope they are investigating him under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 and freeze his assists to the valuation of the logbook (around £10,000) until he comes clean as to its whereabouts or who he sold it to.

As he is a member of this forum, perhaps we should ask him ourselves. May not have too much computer access where he is at the moment though. Crimes like this really spoil it for other collectors and researchers not to mention the distress caused to the family.
