This afternoon 3 of have had our lockers broken into at work. All of our wallets/phones/keys have been stolen. CCTV shows 2 people entering and leaving the locker room.
On my locker is a dirty great handprint from whoever broke into it and another chaps card has been (according to his bank ) used in comet a mile away from work.

The police have been called but the response was............... "sorry we cant get anyone out untill tomorow afternoon at the earliest"

So we have, finger/handprints CCTV images, im guessing CCTV and witnesses in comet and the police cannot be arsed.

My numberplates have been cloned but the police dont care because as of yet " no crime has been commited"

On the way home from work I passed 3 mobile speed traps. Thats where they all fucking are, making easy fucking money from people going 3mph over the speed limit.
That report that came out this week saying that crime is down and more criminals have been caught must be entirely made up of speeding tickets.
Slightly over the speed limit you are officially a criminal, but they cant be arsed to come sort something out when real crime is involved.
What an utter bunch of corrupt cunts.

Totally agree, gutted for you mate about your stuff. This country has gone so far down the shitter it is beyond help and the police/courts/whole justice system, is a massive contribution to this, clearly demonstrated by your experience here. Good luck getting your stuff back from those bottom of the gene pool thieving cunts.

They're not all that bad all the time, when i was involved in an accident on my bike i had to leave it locked up at the side of the road (big A road) in some bushes the police called round early the next day to let me know it was there, just incase it had been stolen.

Bareing in mind it can only of been there for 6 hours or so by that point and it was too dark to see the bike 'till about 2 hours before they came knocking so really they acted pretty quickly on that one.

Does sound a bit silly that they wont come strait out after a theft though.

I agree that the crime and punishment in this country is ridiculous.

I watched a program with that macintyre dude called CCTV cities or something. Some of the things that people were being arrested for were horrendous but nowhere near as shocking as some of the 'punishments'

As I turned of then was some kind of ethnic 'youfs' having an argument in the street. One guy pulled out a kinife and went for someone, only missing because someone pulled him back. He then made attempts at everyone around him, started throwing bottles and then pulled ANOTHER knife and chased someone down the street. Bear in mind this is all on CCTV, the police then turn up. Recover the knives and haul him away to face 'justice'. 'Justice' comprising of a 12 month suspended sentence and a paltry fine.

So it went on, people caught red handed in an alleyway snorting coke. One of them even legged it when confronted and the ended up catching him round the corner. 'Released without charge'.

The best one however was a pisshead who knicked a van delivering newspapers. He was absolutely legless but managed to nick the van and speed away. They caught him from DNA on the can he left behind, hurrar for the police. 'Community service punishment and a £500 fine'.

Funniest and probably least believable was the bloke who pulled up outside a club, threw a load of ptrol over the door and ended up setting the club, himself and the bike on fire. He then managed to put himself out, put his bike out and push it away from the scene all on camera 'never found'

Unbelievable, you can take drugs in the streets and wriggle out of it, do 35 in a 30 and you are definately bummed.

How far is australia?

Yep same thing happened to my parents when they called them. Took them 9 hours to arrive at the scene. Our police station is closed most the time now. There isnt even a police car in sight here! Shocked Your simply told to call back when its open now. CCTV serves no purpose as there are more and more chavs taking the streets over and no cops around.

The locker thefts wasnt an urgent one, I think as long as they do turn up to collect evidence, it doesnt matter if they do it next day.

The reality is, its much easier to keep people who are basically law abiding from doing things they shouldnt (speeding), than it is to prosecute people who are deliberately commiting nuisance crimes, theft violence etc.

They have to prioritise.

Speed camera vans are generally staffed by civilians, and that evidence will still be on the locker tommorow.

Maybe just maybe the police were busy with more urgent incidents this afternoon..

My mate got pulled on another mates bike, gave in a diff name, got caught and was given a 12 month suspended sentence, 300 hours community service (max available) and a £1500 fine to be paid within 28 days.

Yes hes a tool for doing it, but how the fuck is that worse than threatening to stab people and running round with a knife?

Another story from my town.

One of the top boys round here who used to run the drugs in the area had his door taken off by 3 blokes, they ran inside looking for him but only his gf was in there, they slapped her and sprayed her with cs gas, then threatened to kill her and left the premesis.

I know the 3 blokes that did it, they were being charged with gbh and aggravated burglary, those charges have now been dropped to just burglary.
No gbh and no aggravated, why? Because the police took so long collecting evidence there was no evidence of cs gas left on the clothes she was wearing.

Great, so they'll get what, 12 months for that, out in 6. Justice. Rolling Eyes

if they were initially charged with it then they must have had that evidence. CS lasts for bloody ages on clothes unless they are washed to death..

They're always busy with more urgent incidents. Usually nicking people for speeding, smoking spliffs or infringing big business music/movie copyright.

Don't try and flog a dead horse mate, it fools nobody anymore. Even respectable middle-class people know the coup now, usually right after they or their friends have been the victim of a crime and get the standard BS over the phone. Working-class? They've never been under any illusions.

Policing in this country now is all about meeting targets with petty nickings and extorting money from the public.

Or Police officers trying to earn overtime which their forces refuse to pay. I assume this is why you say generally?

the police concentrate more on trying to catch out the usually law abiding citizens...

scummy little shits they dont bother with.

if a scummy little shit breaks into your house and you bash the scummy little shit, you will get in trouble, not the scummy little shit.

the only police that are relatively good is the traffic police.
they only really pull over cars and bikes that scummy little shits drive, with their pointless mods like tinted windows and small plates Very Happy

If you're that bothered complain to your local police authority.

The police will be happy to say this is how we do things. However, the authority is for local politicians who might be upset to get voted off the gravy train at the next election so are more inclined to appear to be seen doing something.

Also the police line is that speeding is traffic and burglary isn't and never the twain or resources for each will mix.

Like everything though, they have limited resources. Maybe there was something like a murder investigation going on there wasn't the manpower? IMO they still should be accountable and give you a reason for their tardiness.

Hope you get it sorted thought.

HOW TO ENSURE A FAST POLICE REPONSE TO YOUR CALL - BY GEORGE PHILLIPS

George Phillips of Marsh Green, Wigan was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked 'Is someone in your house?' and he said 'no'. Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available. George said, 'Okay,' hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

'Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now because I've just shot them.' Then he hung up.

Within few minutes three police cars, an Armed Response Unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips' residence and caught the burglars red-handed.

One of the Policemen said to George: 'I thought you said that you'd shot them!'
George said, 'I thought you said there was nobody available!'

Yeah, read this several times before, and it's a great idea in theory. However, obviously you would get in serious trouble. Someone suggested a more realistic way to get a reasonable police response. Rather than saying you have shot them. Tell the police you have a gun and will use it to defend yourself. I've heard they send out a unit quite promptly, and you get in far less trouble than if you got them to send out a whole squad Very Happy.

Also, I've heard of these awesome alarm pads that set off blank shotgun shells if an intruder steps near them. I know you can buy them in the states, and it seems someone in the UK has them:

More likely to be sat on their arses eating doughnuts. There is a police station 100 yards away from work. Im sure they could take a few minutes to pop round.
