A motorcyclist chose to go to jail rather than give up his R6. Dean Houilbecq, 25, from Guernsey, was sentenced to 28 days in prison after failing to hand over the Yamaha in payment of court debts. He could have won his freedom at any point simply by surrendering the bike to Guernsey’s HM Sheriff but chose instead to serve his time. The builder had been given until September 24 to find £1,106.01 for debt and compensation orders including £750 for damage caused when he reversed a car into another vehicle. Instead of handing over the bike as ordered, he said he had given it to a friend. After hearing he’d only managed pay off £20, Judge Russell Finch imposed an immediate custodial sentence but ordered Houilbecq could be released if the debt was paid or the bike surrendered.

1st question...whats the bike worth and is it payed up? 2nd question...If he's employed.will he lose his job? 3rd question...1 months pay + debt + costs = ? and finally will his serving time plus getting a criminal record be the end of it or must he still pay up. I say he's stuck between a rock and a hard place on this one!

He should of payed the money then he would still be out riding it. Chances are it will still be repossessed so he will lose all round if he doesn't pay the money thats owed. He won't be able to but anything on credit now as he'll have a criminal record for non payment.

Maybe wrong but usually fines in criminal procedings are in lieu of a prison sentence. so once sentence is carried out there is no fine to pay so no repossesion. I've also had relatives inprisoned for non payment of fines. doesn't work with court orders and the like though.
