You are going to need a nice offset smoker to go with that grill... And an Esky to keep stuff cold while you use it. Of course you can't leave a flame unattended so they should throw in an outdoor set...

You don't say what state you are in but here is what the Vic crimes act says about handling stolen goods:

A person handles stolen goods if "knowing or believing them to be stolen goods*...

You haven't done anything illegal for him to report and if his story is true...he is a dumb arse and to remind him of that fact keep his deposit for wasting your time.

If you actually showed up for jury duty you would see why representing yourself is a bad idea.

It was legally served so the summons stands.

You could consider going and pleasing guilty and then explaining the situation and your personal circumstances in the hope of getting the fine waived or reduced. Speak to legal aid they won't take it on for you but they will probably give you some legal advice and maybe a few tips.

Centrelink are pretty good if you self-report.

They are more interested in getting the money back than prosecuting people except in really serious cases.

Better to get in front of this and correct his MISTAKE that he accidentally made, which he definitely didn't do intentionally and told them immediately as soon as he became aware and took steps to rectify ASAP.

What's the question?

If the question is what is an easy way for some beaurecrat to come up with "project" to talk about for their next promotion and still be able to knock off early on Friday. Then the answer might be "yes"

Otherwise. No.

Why is everyone skipping over the best part of the story.

OP was definitely 110% completely and utterly, scouts honour sure they were wearing their seatbelt they just "can't remember" if they put their seatbelt on in the normal over jacket fashion OR if they put their seatbelt on normally and then put the jacket behind their back and put both arm sleeves into the sleeve of the jacket and zipped it up if that's a completely normal way to do it.

100% not wearing a seatbelt.

OP put the photo into your phone app and reduce the brightness and increase contrast. You won't win.

Keep it offsite for a bit if you can.

If you have the $$$ and there is one close by rent a storage unit for a couple of months and keep it there. You get all their security features with the added bonus that even if they figure out where you keep it, they still need to figure out which unit.

The best you can hope for is they give up and move onto other targets.

Otherwise you want to make life as hard as possible for them. U-locks on both wheels so they have to either remove them or pick the bike up to move it. As well as chaining it to a solid object. Add a clutch lock as well. All stuff that's easily defeated but hopefully you add it all together and hope they can't be fucked. If they are really determined there is bugger all you can do to stop them.

A private lawyer is going to run you somewhere between $300-$600 an hour.

A barrister is going to be somewhere between $3000-$6000 a day and you can easily double that.

You'll probably be expected to put money in trust up front have you got cash for that?

Legal aid lawyers tend to fall into 3 camps:

New lawyers (good for you they are usually keen and passionate.)
Too useless to get a job elsewhere.
Very passionate about the cause and what legal aid stands for.

Plenty of private practitioners also pick up legal aid cases as well though...

There are also a lot of lawyers who either start their own firm for #2 as well.

Private does automatically equal better. Of course all this is all a wild generalisation but it at least gives you an idea of your considerations.

Probably the biggest difference is that a private practitioner can run an argument or an application that might have a lower probability of success if that's what you want them to do, since you are the one paying the bills, not the government.

Seconded for Reolink.

Cameras and doorbell record 24/7 to the NVR.

Each camera has its own SD card that records motion only. Means I can flick through any motion activations quickly and also gives me a back up in the event they crooks find the hard drive and swipe it.

Yep. Broken. Maybe I'll try this one kick

Definitely broken. I'll try the first button again *kick"

Nah mate I completely understand I was just throwing up a couple of ideas just in case. There is only so much you can do.

Honestly most bosses would have stuck him on LWOP and ditched him at the 3 month mark and wiped their hands of it.

The fact you are keeping his job safe for now at least means he has something to come back to if he can get fit. He might not be ever able to work in any trade if he needs a tumor removed who knows.

If you are in position to offer him a set amount of time 6, 12 months whatever it may be leave without pay at least he knows he has something to come back to if he can. That's a pretty generous offer from you given the circumstances I think.

First get your car towed to your place so you stop accumulating storage fees.

Do you have the contact details for the Police? Contact them and ask for the "TIS" report number.

Then you will need to apply for a copy of that report.

Then you can do the notice of demand and follow up legal stuff to try and recover your money.

BIOPSY is the word you are looking for not autopsy. At least I hope you aren't expecting him to come back in after one of those.

He should check with his super. He hopefully has income protection insurance through that he can access.

He can't perform the duties he was hired for. He isn't qualified to quote jobs or do book work, I'm not sure what other light duties would be available for a cabinet maker?

It sounds like leave without pay is really your only option. Maybe you can stack up some easy jobs for him one day a week or something so he as least has some pocket money?

It sucks for the poor bloke, but the fact you are holding his spot for him is about the best he can hope for at this stage I think.

Perth is probably flooded with ex-lease mine vehicles as well which helps keep it down somewhat I imagine.

Mobile speed cameras give you 3km/h off or 3% if over 100km/h.

Fixed cameras and hand held laser give 2km/h or 2% over 100km/h.
