is this further evidence ?
7 Answers
OK . I see the relavance of the answers I have received in relation to ' can a caution be quashed ' but in my mind i am struggling to understand the fact there was no evidence of a theft, but due to the fact i admiitted using the phone I was cautioned for theft by appropriation. However the phone hasnow been found, in a place i have not entered in 14months, surely this is proof that the phone had never been stolen, so how can my caution still stand ? if i had been in prison would this evidence not assist in further investigation to have my caution quashed.Ive never denied using the phone and always proclaimed my innocence not to have stolen/steal it. I was never arrested.

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The problem I can see with this is that you have to accept a caution i.e. admit that you are guilty of the offence. Police cannot give you one without your agreement. So if you have always protested your innocence you cannot have got one in the first place unless you were tricked in some way.
I would see a solicitor to see what can be done

Thankyou for your support.
Due to the fact I admitted ( of my own free will ) that i had used the phone,and put it back this was in jan, in june 2007 it could not be found. the last number traced was the one i had text to. so they said it was theft by appropriation and that evidence was stacked against me !! I was advised if did not to accept the caution and chose to go to court, i would be found gulity and go to prison , at the time i felt the caution was better option as i had admitted usage.

In your other question you stated the phone was posted through your door with an anonymous note, is there more to this?
Some gutless wonder has cost you your job, your reputations caused you to be cautioned by the police & now to top things off dumped the evidence in your lap - can you prove this phone was in someone else's possession before it was given to you? And will this gutless wonder finally admit to what's s/he's done?

yes. the phone was posted through my door with a note, by a person who was somewhat reluctant to hand it in to superiors as they felt i would never be told that it had been found within a work enviroment were i had not had access for 14months. It was posted through my door inside an internal work envelope with a typed note from the finder !! The phone/note and envelope weere all handed in to the police by my ex boss as i was so upset. I hope this clarifys the question.." i thought it was posted through your door !!"
