€1000 REWARD

[148148]

Stolen or deliberatly cut was a crappy 50 metre longline that would cost about €10, its the principle that someone could be so desperate and pathetic.  This person would be moored in Gzira or Msida more than likely due to where the line was.  These lines come from China so very few people would have the exact same setup, and if they do they could prove they bought them or where they got them from.  If you notice someone or know someone who has cut these lines or has or is using these type of lines please contact me or the police. Once the person is prosecuted through your information you will be given €1000 cash and everything will be anonymous. If I find you myself I will take appropriate actions. The picture shows what the line was like, it did not have the lure on it as it was baited, the hooks are eyeless as the line is wrapped and knotted.  Warning anytime something is stolen or cut the reward will be the same so check the line, take the fish and leave the line where it is you maggot.

" If I find you myself ... "

I understand that you are unhappy of what happened but pay attention on what you write on public forums my friend. That could be taken as a threat. Threatening is illegal. I agree that people stealing or cutting long lines should be prosecuted but if I were you I'd give more consideration to the words you use.

 no threats whatsoever my friend, ....... constitutes nothing, I assume Maltas legal system is based on the UK's as Australias is so in common law that is not a threat. To constitute a threat (first of all it has to be a threat) it must be made towards a known individual, a group of individuals or their property, that person must come forward and identify themselves to the police as the person who stole the lines and therefore the person the threat was made towards and that they wish to press charges, cant see that happening. Otherwise its like threatning to kill Santa Claus, for that to be illegal someone has to prove he exists otherwise   they are just words

Its your call

i must be dreaming!

whys that caldaland

I gave you a friendly suggestion and you gave me war. Is that the way you take life? Because even in another tread you said that the people at the Valletta Port Control were sleeping just because you didn't receive reply. This being a public forum means that one must respect others' opinions and be polite in the way one speaks about people especially when naming 3rd persons out of the forum.

what war? education my friend.  You stated I was threatning someone! besides not caring about threatning a thief I was simply defending myself against your accusation. If I didnt listen to your opinion the piece you mentioned would not have been changed As for Valetta Port, if they are there to protect us when we are sinking I was simply raising the point that after 20 minutes I could not reach them, I wasnt sinking so I sat had a coffee and waited, but next time who knows. Why has this turned from an issue of theft to you protecting how unknown thieves may feel about being threatened? When I was in the Army the upper brass did not encourage threats they demanded violence against thieves. I in no way sanction violence I am simply offering €1000 every time someone steals from me, something everyone should be behind unless they are the ones stealing. I am assuming that nothing else is done here to deter thieves, such as upping membership fees slightly and put rewards out there for all thefts or illegal fishing or something but sitting by and just whinging that someone stole another line or raided another Lampuki site wont stop anything.

I am not protecting any thieves. I was trying to protect you from going from victim to illegal. But threatening is not illegal in your opinion, yet you changed it. A historic person once said a very famous quote and my friend he couldn't have said anything better. His name was Napoleon.

[148148]

I think you read too much into things or in my haste I dont go into enough detail as I never meant to infer you were protecting thieves

[caldaland]

thieves should not be treatened in anyway,just hang em!!!

[148148]

Napoleon dynamite said little but bonepart said 'war makes thieves, peace hangs them'
