Impersonating a pheasant is not a criminal offence. But perhaps if he was attempting to impersonate a grouse, for example, or a peacock, and was mistaken by these juveniles as a pheasant, then maybe there is a case to be answered. \n\nA possible way to impress the judge would be to dress as a less distinctive creature than a pheasant. Maybe he could hire a 'Big bird' costume, or maybe borrow the 'Emu' suit from the TV show?\n\nThat would impress the judge into thinking Khan was not a pheasant, or that he was. Or something. I have forgotten what the question was , now.\n\nOh yep - he is looking at about 15 years, you are right. Or maybe 14 years and 11 months if he is a good bird.

Ok, you know you did the crime so why not just turn yourself in and do the time?  Get it over with.  You can run as far away as you want but this will live w/ you forever.  Crime doesnt pay at all.\n\nBtw, its people like you with the dui that my sister is dead today.

Federal crime, 7-10 years. If the amount is that much then the state turns the criminal over to the feds most likely.

No We dont know where honesty is hiding.\nSome one asked me where is SATHYAM (HONESTY translated in Sanskrit). I said it is hiding inside ASATHYAM(DISHONESTY again in Sanskrit language)I shall explain it now with a real incident that happened 40 years back in India\nA friend of mine phoned to the telephone exchange and told his contact man there to connect him to XYZ at another city 3000 miles away.Then he said make the call LIGHTNING( meaning 8 times the normal cost) and said come and collect your REWARD in the evening and said not a penny(paise) more or otherwise I would hand over you to the police. REMEMBER THERE IS NO NUMBER TWO (UNDERHAND DEALINGS) IN NUMBER TWO BUSINESS.The REWARD amount was just a nominal amount and the entire transaction goes unrecorded and not to be billed.\n\nIn Calcutta Maidan(playgrounds)there used to be some middlemen/hawker type travel agents who would arrange railway ticket reservation by any class to any place in India (40 years back the system were manual and 10 days in advance one has to stand in Q at times from midnight though the reservation counter opens at 06.00 AM only). The agent would note few alternative class of travel as well as alternate dates , in case of summer rush, and would collect FULL FARE AMOUNT. For higher class travel the amount used to be substantial. Some one new to Calcutta went to one agent and furnished all details but after handing over the cost of ticket asked for some sort of receipt. The agent immediately got wild and told the client RECEIPT WHAT RECEIPT WE DONT GIVE RECEIPT WE DEAL IN THOUSANDS DAILY IT IS ALL ON WORD OF MOUTH DO YOU THINK WE WOULD RUN AWAY WITH YOUR MONEY IF YOU DONT HAVE CONFIDENCE IN OUR SYSTEM WE DONT ACCEPT YOU AS CLIENT PLEASE TAKE BACK YOUR MONEY AND VACATE THE PLACE I HAVE PEOPLE WAITING TO TALK TO ME AND I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE ON YOU.IF YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE PLEASE COME HERE BY AFTERNOON TWO O CLOCK AND ASK FOR BISWAS BABU IF I GET RESERVATION I GIVE YOU TICKETS AND I GET MY CUT/COMMISSION.OTHERWISE I RETURN YOUR MONEY IN FULL AND NO CHARGE.\nSo you see in such black market underhand dealings underworld business there is honesty 100 % honesty. Otherwise the business wont survive even for a day,\nSo let us wish and pray that everything is legalised including bribing with a price for it so that HONESTY survives,

If you can't find him I would say call the police if it has been a long time. Also, maybe you could try to talk to his son, and since he sounds greedy it might not work, get a good lawyer, but make sure you know all the facts before hand.

I would think with him going to prison for 10 years cingular would understand that he will not be around to pay it. Explain it to them and it they say not than I would just let them go back and it isn't in your name...Cejay

You have to check the statute of limitations for your particular area.  It can vary greatly depending on what state/province or country you are in.  If you have any doubts, ask local law enforcement and they will be able to point you in the right direction.

A good lawyer should be able to get them off for failure to prosecute which usually kicks in after 2 years, also check the statute of limitations for theft by check ( the typical check charge)

Contact the sate attorney general's office in California under the consumer protection division.  What this person did could be construed as a felony, and they will end up in jail.  It falls under federal jurisdiction as well because they used an interstate commerce (the internet) to commit fraud.  You can sue them later, but that will involve filing it in a California court.  The criminal court will get you your money back and you will have the satisfaction of knowing this person is in jail.  They may even get you a little extra in restitution.\n\nContact your local district attorney's office as well.  Your local police department can help, but all they will do is take a statement and contact the DA for getting in contact with CA.\n\nDO NOT CONTACT THIS PERSON ANYMORE.  If you alert them to a criminal investigation, they could take steps to make it more difficult for law enforcement to find them.\n\nContact your bank or credit card company immediately.  They will submit a claim and may be able to put a lein on the thief's account, and may be able to get your funds back faster.\n\nGoodluck!

Unless there's video tape of them taking out the cash there's nothing that will happen.  Simply accusing someone of taking $2000 isn't going to mean anything, there has to be proof of them taking it.  Since I dobut you'll even be able to prove there was $2000 in it I seriously dobut you'll prove they took it.  Anyone could have taken it, the person who found it has no way of knowing what should be in there.  Also what type of person carries $2000 in their purse?  Only someone asking for trouble would do that type of thing.  Also don't think the store will pay for it, it was YOUR MISTAKE that caused the money to be lost (if you could even prove that you had it) and NO store or insurance policy will payout a claim simply on a statement "I had $2000 in the purse."  How rediculious do you think that statement sounds?  It makes you look more like a criminal then the person who you say stole it.

5o dollars and I turned it in to the local ma and pa store I found it outside of. the owner has known me for over 15 years, he kept it overnight and gave it to me the next day...I got to do the RIGHT thing and it still paid off! I also lost my purse-the person return it but kept my 80 dollars...I was just happy to have my cards and liscense returned...figured it as a finders fee for returning it to the police instead of throwing it out

It means the same a 99 from a goldsmith one from a black smith\n\nTo elaborate - thief tries 99 times and owner does it in one day, A thief may try for 99 days to steal, whereas an owner can steal in one day

You need to look for STATUTE of limitations, rather than statue.  That will help.  \n\nFor robbery, fraud, etc., the general limitation is 7 years, but it might vary depending on state or whether it is federal.  \n\nThe series of books you need is called the Howdunit Series from Writers Digest Books.  I believe the specific volume that would help you is called "Crime and Punishment."  \n\nThere's also a book called "The Crime Reference Book" that is helpful.  \n\nI personally like "Wounds & Injuries".  I like to know where I can hurt my hero without killing him.

If you mean he fast talks them out of things, that's one thing. If it's an actual swindle, that's something quite different -- and something quite illegal. If you are sure of your facts, you can report him, either to the police and/or the better business bureau, but it's hard to make a charge stand if the people he swindles are happy about it. How does he manage that?

Its fraud and theft.  The consequence could be prosecution and jail.
