I see he only had to pay " some of the £12.500.00 " ! Typical , of the Crap Justice system we have.

...........He gave a brass dog tag to a military aviation museum in exchange for the chance to sit inside a Spitfire airplane, the DOJ said.

The tag had been issued to a Tuskegee airman, who died in 1944 when his fighter plane crashed in Germany.

Among the stolen tags were a pair that had been issued to a soldier who served in World War II and to his father, who served in World War I...........

Utter, utter scum.

Are you saying that Bateman and Dehays are one and the same person, I don't see how they can be?

Perhaps an associate of Bateman, the world would be a better place without people like them.

No, picking up on the comment about some people being prepared to give a lot to sit in a Lancaster
Dehays gave what wasn't his to give so he could sit in a Spitfire.
Bateman and Dehays are different people albeit criminals with similar MO's.
