| 420178 | 2006-01-12 04:40:00 | How about sticking to the subject? ninjabear has asked for advice about furniture, not moral judgements. One problem is that selling the furniture is not going to bring in much money. Second hand furniture isn't worth much. The police, although they aren't much use, might be willing to attend an attempt to recover your cousin's property to prevent a "breach of the peace". She has the proof of ownership. But I doubt if police would "force" the one in possession to hand it over. The best chance might be to get some family pressure exerted. Or have the aunts and uncles fought too? |

| 420179 | 2006-01-12 05:02:00 | Steady on Graham The whole thing has gotta be a joke -- the 'cousins thing' just gives it away. I'm a bloke who would just about try anything once but not this -- it's just not right! :D |

I'm a bloke who would just about try anything once but not this -- it's just not right!Graham is correct, ninjabear is looking for advice on the best way to approach the furniture issue, not whether or not you approve of that relationship. Nor was the request made in jest, ninjabear has been around long enough for us to know whether he is genuine or not. Give it a break. |

| 420181 | 2006-01-12 05:24:00 | Well, I would go to the cop shop, take the receipt, to prove it belongs to her, tell them whats happened, and see if they can go with you, to get it . The BF cant do much about it, with cops present can he . Or go to the cop shop, and get them to charge him with theft . Since, technically, its not his property . |

The police are very reluctant to get involved in what they will deem to be a civil dispute ie: "see a lawyer" . |

| 420184 | 2006-01-12 08:17:00 | hiring a lawyer might be expensive. I will tell her this. This is how I feel.Even though the furniture isn't worth much it wouldn't be appropriate to not take back what is rightfully not his its like saying someone stole something and got away with it.Nobody took any action. what i feel is that she should take back what is hers.Even though the furniture isn't worth much its better to take it back then to give it to someone for free. But can't the boyfriend say at the time the girlfriend gave it to me for FREE? if thats true then there's no proof ay? I give all of you a birthday present then later i ask for the birthday present back? Ah so confusing. *Runs around in circles* Its not the firstime that chemical ali been around giving negative comments to me.I really think if you are not willing to help me please keep your comments to yourself.Thanks |

| 420185 | 2006-01-12 08:27:00 | Speaking from inside experience the Police can not force anyone to give the property back. At this stage, from the information provided, there is no grounds for a complaint of theft. However, as previously suggested if you pop into the Police station and advise them that you are going around to pick up property left behind as a result of a domestic situation, and you want someone there to keep the peace, if the Police aren't busy they will go to make sure noone gets smacked. Otherwise see a lawyer. End of story. |

| 420186 | 2006-01-12 09:04:00 | Crikey! What a diversion on topic :p BTW, Greg's explanation is dead on. All to do with genes. If a family carries a recessive defective gene, then a close family member could also carry that gene. Increases the chance that the defective gene will be expressed in the offspring. Random genetic defects occur naturally in the population anyway, but the stakes are higher in close relation offspring. The genetic defect could be hidden on the molecular level involving chemical processes, or a physical defect. All a bit of a gamble. Think cousins who marry are offered genetic counselling and screening. Thanks for your excellent explanation, Jen :D (were you a biology student or is this a general knowledge?). As said by my optometrist this morning, he mentioned that glaucoma occurs at 1.5% of all population. If you have gather / mother who has this eye disease, the chance is raised by four times. If your siblings have it too, the stake is further raised by 12 times. Cheers :) |
