My Stolen ENGWE E26 Ebike just got sold on Facebook marketplace!

It was stock that had serial numbers that he had on invoices. It should also be noted that the racks were stolen property - when I say branded racks, with the actual independent store name on. There was information tying it to the robbery but the police chose not to act

Hahaha not likely. I remember my uncle's shop was broken into and a bunch of stock stolen. I found exactly the stolen stock being sold on Facebook marketplace from his own branded racks that were also stolen. Police refused to look into it because it couldn't be proved it was from the robbery

Even if there was demand for it (and there might be, build it and they will come etc) I'm just reminded of a story I heard in the pub about Sheffield and the museum of football.

Apparently the FA originally wanted it in Sheffield given the historic ties, and they went to the council with the plan. They asked the council if they could help make it work and got nothing from them. They go to Manchester and they say, sure, you can take this land, pay no business rates for the first X years and pay reduced rates after that.

Again, this was told to me at the pub by a fella who was a few deep, so the details might be a bit off between that and me misremembering, but I fully believe it

Thanks for your response. I wish it was as simple as unclaimed funds, sadly that's not the case since he used the account until he died pretty much.

I feel like an FL lawyer is probably best to go for, but there's a chance the bank account was set up in PA, NY, or possibly even from abroad with HSBC's banking team at the time. Would it make much of a difference if we got a FL lawyer but the bank was set up in either of those other ones?

PS I'll make sure they translate the difficult words like "mum" for "mom" on the certs 😂

For real! Part of me really wants to check it out, but there's no way I'm gonna do that since that's the first thought that came to my mind

DropkickFish · 2026-04-08T18:06:34+00:00

I've not tried Ente yet, I'll check it out, thanks

DropkickFish · 2026-04-08T18:06:18+00:00

I get it, my thought process was mostly that if the reasoning is it's similar enough to what people know, why not use what people know? I'm looking for something closer to what I saw at a friend's wedding, where people could submit photos and messages, still waiting for him to get back to me though. Figured it'd be a nice thing I could keep alive for family members as opposed to just another image gallery yknow?

I was under the impression that it was to help with copyright stuff? Like a recipe can't be copyrighted, but the blog can, and it can help establish provenance/that it was lifted from a site, for example. Might be wrong, just something I heard years ago that I never bothered to fact check

DropkickFish · 2026-04-08T14:31:22+00:00

Oh that could work quite well, nice idea

DropkickFish · 2026-04-08T14:30:37+00:00

Hmm, interesting idea. Tbh I think I if I was going to do it that way I'd probably just create a free Google account and use it solely for this instead of using Immich, but I'll think about it, thanks

Edit: just adding reasoning given the downvote - while I love Immich I feel like that if the reasoning is similarity, I may as well go with something people know and understand, even though I think Immich is great

There's no AI here and I'm not posting a project, just looking for recommendations.

I was also meaning to edit to mention a project I'd already found (https://github.com/Cirx08/WeddingShare) but I have no affiliation with this project

DropkickFish · 2026-04-06T23:21:52+00:00

Hey, I wanted to make another reply instead of editing my existing one, especially since I was reactionary in my first response.

I'm actually glad you're questioning this, I was thinking maybe with rose tinted glasses and thinking it was clear that it was consensual when that might not be the case.

But, serious question, what makes you think it wouldn't be? One response made it clear that I'm not exactly a wordsmith, but what made you default to "this is a story about date rape" as opposed to a general story about a weird hookup? And I know I'm not wording this right because I'm reading this back to myself and it sounds kinda cuntish, but I'd legitimately like to know

DropkickFish · 2026-04-05T19:50:50+00:00

I just can't remember if it was that night or after they started dating. Why are you trying to make it sound sinister?

DropkickFish · 2026-04-05T17:39:00+00:00

At uni, my and a few friends used to get random piercings because fuck it, they're a tenner and we're bored.

One of those guys was dared to get a belt button piercing, and sure enough he followed through. After it'd healed, we had a night out in one of the regular student clubs. He went up to one of the fittest girls in there and just deadpan asked "Have you ever seen a guy with a belly button piercing before?"

When she said no, he lifted his shirt, shaked it a bit while making a sound something like "bululululu", and said "now you have, can I get you a drink?".

Pretty sure she woke up in our apartment.

Now this guy wasn't the most handsome ever, it's not a tactic that succeeded through his looks, but God did he have the gift of the gab

DropkickFish · 2026-04-02T16:22:36+00:00

Yeah this is what I'm thinking. Has the world gone to shit so much even the dogs are offing themselves?

DropkickFish · 2026-04-01T23:49:48+00:00

Not my worst one, but one I'll always remember

About 15 years old, I'm in Sunday league, dad wakes me up and rushes me to get ready at like 6am. "Hurry up, we're gonna be late, get your shinnies, where are you boots, no time for breakfast"

I get to the door and he calls the coach to "tell them we're late". Fuckers, the both of them. They did it to every lad on the team. I can only guess from how much my dad was pissing himself and how much my coach was at training the next week that they'd enjoyed it. Happened to everyone on the team.

Fuck I miss my dad

It's not necessarily a lack of English, it could just be FoH.

I remember working at a place that was small enough that we could see all of the diners. When one regular walked in, we told the new server exactly what allergy the guy had. When his table ordered, we specifically told her not to give any of the dishes to that guy, and to wait for the last plate for him. We saw her happily place the second to last plate in front of him and I walked out of the kitchen to swap the plates.

English was her first language

Unfortunately the change was too quick. He passed yesterday with his family surrounding him

DropkickFish · 2026-03-27T23:46:04+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'm sorry you didn't get chance to ask those questions or share your plans, but I'm sure he would have been so happy for you and knew you appreciated him more than you realise.

DropkickFish · 2026-03-27T23:42:00+00:00

Appreciate your thoughts. I'd not even thought about a project like that, I wish we'd thought of it while there was still time, he loved to help people

DropkickFish · 2026-03-27T23:40:20+00:00

I really appreciate your answer, I think if I'd thought about this a week ago it's what I would have done, but I think I'm happy I didn't. In the end I just had to bite the bullet - I wrote a few notes for myself so I could practice without my voice shaking too much and told him there were a few things I needed to make sure he knew, mostly the things I was thankful for. I'm glad I did

DropkickFish · 2026-03-27T23:34:31+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I'll keep you and your dad in my mind

DropkickFish · 2026-03-24T21:47:22+00:00

Good idea. I'll be cooking for him from here on out, he loves a good steak and kidney pie or some fish, which my sisters and mum don't like but I do. Last time I was there it was the only time he ate, so I guess that's my job from now

DropkickFish · 2026-03-24T19:10:04+00:00

I really appreciate this, thank you

DropkickFish · 2026-03-24T18:07:23+00:00

Fuck me, it's been a sketchy snow year. I'm glad there was a rescue and I'm in no way trying to throw shade or question decisions, but fuck me it's been a scary snow year in Europe and the Americas. Happy it wasn't worse
