I don't know what happened to the guy. The police told me they could not charge him with stealing my detector unless they could show it as evidence in court. I was mad at the guy so I let them keep it until the trial.

I agree. I remember I called the police department every week or so asking if I could get it back. I always felt funny asking if I could have my radar detector back.
I joked that they probably took it apart & pulled a couple wires before they gave it back.
Rick's comment made me think of another quick story. About 5 years ago while driving to work one morning a cop pulled me over for speeding. He said he used radar, but my V1 never went off.
I actually went to mayor's court to try to get out of the ticket. My argument was he couldn't have clocked me with radar because my radar detector never went off. I have to admit that I was a little worried about what they would say about my defense. The mayor stared at me for a few seconds & said because my record was clean he would waive the points on my license but not the fine. So I kept my license clean & they still got their $. I still don't think the cop actually clocked me with radar.
