what if: you were a UK resident, flew to the US and married a woman there, stayed for 25+ months, BOTH returned to the UK, then the wife stayed there while you took a little excursion over to Belgium, and from THERE travelled to France, and pickpocketed tourists who were neither from the UK, USA, Belgium or France, and used the proceeds to set up some fake ebay accounts, with drop addresses throughout France to
#1 buy ebay goods, get them delivered, then contest/win back payments out
#2 sold those same goods on other ebay accounts to various (but 'clean') punters, so the goods were genuine, albeit stolen
then travelled back to Belgium, caught a plane to Hong Kong, took a dump, caught another flight out (either the same day, or a day later...or even a few days or a week or a fortnight, maybe even longer than THAT) to the US, met your wife at the in-laws, and then both made your way back to the UK.
What would you say should happen then? Not say what would happen in your opinion, but what you WOULD say, *if* the above events took place as stated.
Nothing is black and white
Well, aside from Michael Jackson.
