Indicative that the police either don't care about much these days or just there are very few police left.
I sometimes wonder that if most people weren't law abiding all of a sudden could they cope.

They are more busy with other domestic violence type crimes and social media crime. They do not bother with car crime as it is not high priority. They would rather do speeding as that gains revenue back for the government.I sometimes wonder that if most people weren't law abiding all of a sudden could they cope.

Even still the idiots that do this crime would get let off when they go to courts or end up with a silly sentence, so no wonder the police are not bothered.

Oi you policeman go and find it mate. Where? Madness.
I called the police within 10 minutes of my E63 being stolen, told them exactly where it was as the tracker was still active, and they did absolutely nothing even though the thieves were sat parked up less than three miles away. By the time they followed up 6 hours later, it had been moved to an industrial estate where the tracker cut-out so I assume it had either been ripped out or the car was in the back of a lorry.

I tell you what, more than car theft a big issue is blue badges being stolen! My partner used to work in Croydon Council and apparently an incredibly high percentage of blue badges were being stolen from cars DAILY... Mental.
This has been going on for years. One of the main reasons is they are sold on for a lot of money.K4sper said:
