I was watching one of those Police Camera shows tonight and they showed the arrest of a poor unfortunate promising footballer who had decided to diversify into the pharmaceutical retail business.

To cut a long story short he had not yet been able to secure a formal business premises and was using his mother's house as his secure store room. In order to confirm he was trading in something he ought not to have been and effect the arrest the police used the standard issue skeleton key to gain entry, sraight through quite a nice patio door.

Now my question is this: as the mother as house owner is innocent in this (it not yet being illegal to breed & raise scrotes but my day as dictator will come...) do the police / taxpayer pay to replace her door, or does she claim on her insurance?
