You won't believe what I found

[Mike Bowler]

I went shopping at our local Sainsbury this morning came out of the shop at 9am ,walked across the disabled car park to my car looking down at the snow and ice with the trolley bouncing around .I looked down by the wheel of the trolley and saw what looked like a knife .
scratched around in the snow and picked up a flick knife and a butterfly knife,so I picked them up ,came home and thought about what I should do I rang 101 told the police .just in case they where used in a incident of some sort ,Police are coming around to collect them

I have say I did think of keeping them

You did the right thing. as you say, they may have been used in a crime, don't forget to big up the Bushcraft scene when they come around to collect them, you know, as a responsible bushcrafter etc, can't hurt our community what with the knife laws and all.

Are they quality or rubbish?

It's good that the bloke recorded on Sainsbury's car park CCTV picking up two knives, and then getting into car registration ABD 123, can be confirmed as later handing them to Police....

maybe the police will look at cctv now to see how they got there as 2 local schools one close to Sainsbury kids was going to clash both schools sent letters out to let famileys know

Extra impressive handing them in then!

True enough. Felony aside, I'd have had a little internal battle.

 

[sunndog]

A moral dilemma for sure

I find it difficult to imagine having the slightest desire to keep either a flick knife or a butterfly knife; what would you do with either of them?

Well they are knives and from a very reputable brand so i dare say you could cut things and admire them as you would any other knife

 

[Janne]

Good of you to do the ’right thing’.
I doubt the police will put to much effort in investigating, if no crime was commited with them.

I hope they do not give you any problems!

I'd have handed them in. But there's a schoolboy part of me that delights in such things, just for playing with.

Knives are tools for a job like any other. Whilst quality is nice function is better. Since i have no need for the functionality that is important with flick and butterfly knives then i don't have any need to keep those illegal knives.

If you think otherwise then I actually question your suitability to own any knife sharper than a kid's round ended butter knife.

Well done for doing the right thing OP.

update
Police came round last night with a tablet computer took a statement that I had to sign and photos of them and took them away .glad to see them gone ,because I like knives and wanted to be on the right side of the law I make the odd one and buy them to .

Lol well everyone is entitled to their own opinion.........as hilarious as that my be

(How does liking knives effect a persons suitability to owning them? lmfao)

Finders keepers innit!

I found a few .22lr slugs shot into the tar mac in a nearby Asda car park. I dug them out and kept them..

On reflection I guess I should have phoned the police. But meh, no reports of gun shots or anything and nothing in the local paper.

Regards to those knives you found, if it were me Id atleast had a few days playtime before giving them over.

Hope you wiped your fingerprints off them..........................................well with Police investigation targets you never know.....................or am I being too cynical.

Nope, I would of gone to them, and not invited them into my house.

Not your average fishing shop knives!

Had to google them and they are a pretty penny, not to mention the potential issues in even getting hold of them.
