man, the questions that the police asked are seriously unnecessary.
it really annoys me how in the public theres all this talk abot Spore opening up etc. and then
the police do something like this.
Anyway, i don't really think he pin too much hopes on getting his stuff back. Administration takes forever. ANd i've heard that the Police Force has more burecracy than the Army...(if that were humanely possible)
