[aryanarya]

he got scammed on local ''marketplace'' for 3500$ worth of jewery. he sended paket in other country with jewerly that some guy ''paid'' for but actualy didnt.He contacted local police and they said that they will do everythig to find it. My question is that what is probability that police actualy catches him and will police actualy go and try to find him or it will be like one of those sutiations that they dont give a fuck.
