I don't think it necessarily has to be corruption. The difficulty from the police's point of view, is that they must receive many complaints of a similar nature when it comes to vehicles being towed away. When the answer in most cases is that it is a civil matter, it must be tempting for that to become the 'default' position that is given when many similar cases are brought to their attention.
We keep hearing of police throwing resources at trivial (non)crimes on the flimsiest of allegations and we keep hearing that they must follow up these almost certainly ephemeral (non)crimes.Meanwhile a consistent series of credible complaints is being ignored!
The police may not be corrupt but they are of no apparent use either. It's time for replacement either way.

BiBs with common sense who know the difference between right and wrong!
There is so much evidence to lock up and charge Stone and Boosey!
Here here!!There is so much evidence to lock up and charge Stone and Boosey!
I have been told TWO different things from the police today,
1st is that they are having one final meeting with the CC of Essex Police, DI and DC who are dealing with the investigation and also the solicitor who works with Essex Police.
2nd is from the police press office stating that they are no longer investigating the issue and that they have closed it.
So I have tried getting hold of the DC or DI most the day (while arguing with the Finance company) without much luck, on both counts btw!

A DI and a DC? The CC?! Either Essex police have nothing to do or someone is pulling your leg. I wouldn't expect any CID, let alone a DI, to get involved in a clamping dispute, and certainly not the CC. It may be true of course but I'd be very surprised. Personally I would have left the clamping dispute as a civil matter but once they disposed of the car and treated it as their own for me it becomes theft because they've taken a proprietary right of ownership dishonestly and selling the car shows an intent to permanently deprive and I'd lock them up at the very least. Nothing wrong with locking up dodgy clampers the thieving c*nts that they are.
That said the things that are cited as "evidence" on PH and in the press and things are actually evidence in the real world of the courts and the law are two very different things.
And the CC is involved now because I contacted my local MP about all this as he has had trouble with LBS in the past do he wrote a letter himself stating he will do as much as he can, so write a letter to the CC asking why has nothing been done yet.
Wow it's hard posting on the iPhone, iPad needed I think

I agree, this was a civil dispute up to the point they started asking extortionate sums and disposing of the car, at which point they should have been nicked for blackmail and theft/TWOC.
I was told a while back by the DC that they wound look into blackmail, think I mentioned it on here actually but was told 'lack of evidence' FFS!!Red Devil said:

Oh did you guys also know that Matthew Boosey is now employed by Essex Police as a bailiff as he applied a few days after the car was taken.
Now how is that right?
Do the Police employ bailifs? Do you mean the courts?Now how is that right?
I can't see how the f
k his managed to become one, but I have gone upto Southend County Court and reported him as he must of lied at some point! And about Mark Stone I'm not to sure but I understand his s bailiff of the same nature ZOLLAR said:

.. and found this out through my aunt who works at the front desk there...
Does that mean your Aunty is a police office on front desk or civilian attached dealing with police documents?.
I spoke to the DI not that long ago and he confirmed that they will not be going to do anything more and close the investigation based on that because it's on private property where all this happened so it's still a 'civil matter' and when I asked about how/why they have come to that conclusion he was saying that I don't have and good evidence that they had no intension of giving the car back, so asked him about the change of ownership details so that shows that they had no intension and his view is that it's still a 'civil matter' FFS!!
So just need to wait for some forms I believe and i'll be making a complaint to the IPCC even though I don't like complaining about things

Why can't your Aunt go and arrest Stone and Boosey for theft and assault? This is getting more silly all the time! What were Stone and Boosey doing at Basildon Police station? Is the corruption at a high level?This is the first time that you mentioned that your Aunt is a BiB!

1st time mentioned because she's no use what so ever so thought no point in saying about it, my little finger is more helpful than her!!This is the first time that you mentioned that your Aunt is a BiB!
It was just Boosey who went to Basildon btw, not sure about Stone fella.
From what I understand, she would not go and arrest Boosey as it'll put her in a bad light and then the police while be liable for compensation for wrongful arrest.
FYI - Our family don't speak to each other so wouldn't expected much help tbh

Word of warning to anyone driving a car in the Essex area. If you see a black Range Rover Sport (reg BG58 RNV) driven by fat ugly man with a shaven head; beware because it is a clamper operating in your area. His name is Mark Stone and he is also a car thief.
I wonder if it's got tinted windows and drug dealer wheels

Have to say Bella you've been remarkably restrained over this thing keeping it within the law.
Many others would struggle.....some would be recruiting the services of a local chav or junky to slash Stone's tyres....set of range rover tyres don't come cheap.
Cheers Vic,Many others would struggle.....some would be recruiting the services of a local chav or junky to slash Stone's tyres....set of range rover tyres don't come cheap.
Have to say I have been very tempted to take the law into my own hands but once I do that I'm no better than LBS!!

Bella - why not just find out who they sold your car to from the DVLA's change of keeper, and just go round there and take it back? It's still property of the finance company/you, and possession is 9/10th of the law.
The DVLA won't tell me who the owner is, and when pressed they say it's because of the data protection act!!dwspirit said:
