Yup, not worth getting involved with the cops for anything, even when you're trying to do the right thing. A few years back I was at a buddy's place and this kid was there trying to sell buddy "his" snowboard. I asked him what he had and what he wanted for it. it was a good deal so I bought it off him. A week later I'm over at another friend's house and he starts going off about how him and his brother's board's got stolen out of their garage. I ask him if one wasn't by chance a 159 burton custom. Sure as fuck it was. So I bring him over the board, eat my loss on the money, and tell him who took it. The plan was that we go kick this kid's ass and deal with the situation as is. What happens? They end up calling the police and saying I'll be a witness. Fuck me, what a god damn headache that turned into. I'm lucky I got out of it without being charged myself. The a couple months later I wind up getting SUbpeona'd as a witness, miss a week of work, which put me out about $1500 + travel costs to get to the court room. I get there and show up for court, and they don't even need me. Didn't even so much as call my name. Apparently they settled with the Crown behind closed doors.
Never again will I do the "right" thing if I find myself in this sort of situation again. Fuck the police...
