Presto-chango you go back to the station in a year and it's: "$100,000, what $100,000, we don't have no $100,000!
Yah,in South America that kind of thing can happen.But this is Britain we're talking about.And remember that I mentioned consulting a lawyer before doing anything.In a civilized country the lawyer might advise that he go along with you to the police station with,perhaps,a couple of witnesses and a video camera.
