Sometime though I do wonder if I can carry on on this salary
I know what you're saying. I did 5 years (Sounds like a sentence
) in the NHS before deciding I was going nowhere, other than management (I'm a physio not a manager, why promote me out of a job I enjoy and (IMHO) I'm good at into one I don't want to do
) It depends where you can see you career going and whether you're prepared to wait long enough for it to get there. Or if (like me) it's giving you the skills to go somewhere else more productive. A light at the end of the tunnel makes it much more easy to bear.
Back on thread: my sympathies Tonyrec. We were broken into while on holiday at the start of last year. Fortunately the neighbours disturbed them before they got in and even got the broken window boarded up. But even so when we got back from skiing last Saturday as I unlocked the door I had a slight feeling of dread as to what we would find. F
k knows how I'd feel if they'd got in and trashed the place
Just need more police on the streets. ID cards, cameras and all that crap isn't going to stop a scrote doing something they shouldn't, and if there isn't time to get the job of crime prevention AND crime response (ie, checking out burglaries etc), then the government need to seriously sort that out.
I can't believe that they charge council tax and god knows what else in taxes, then just turn a blind eye to theft because it's not "bad" enough!
What kind of message does that put across. You can rob what you like, and hopefully if no police catch you at it (unlikely anyway), then you effectively get away scot free, as no one cares a bit.
Time to go raid Tony Blairs garden shed. Bet that would get the terrorism squad out, phorensics, the lot.
So nice to know we live in such an equal society, hehe.

Two thoughts on this. Every Thursday in the town we left a few years back is a flea market. One of the stalls just sells nearly new tools etc, everything from hand tools and drills up to decent generators and quality bits of building site kit; not to mention oodles of fishing tackle next door on his mate's stall.
I'd bet my pension most of it is nicked, but there is no way of proving it because the property is not marked by the owner nor had they any idea of serial numbers etc.
Secondly its not all bad news. I mentioned this just before Christmas but out on a walk came across what turned out to be a break in progress. Still on blower to force control when the response car arrived and a result was there for the nicking. Now THAT is what I call service.
Sorry about the news Tony.

Mungo, yeah, I agree that is all good and well.
What I mean is that if police are always too busy responding to problems that are too serious, and never have time to respond to less serious (but still crimes non the less), then we are letting the minor criminals run riot!
Even worse when the follow up paper work is preventing more active policing on the streets from being done.
Only way to sort it is more police full stop. Thats what I pay for, and thats what I expect. Otherwise it seems, the only reason to ring the police now is to get the crime ref number for the insurers, not to try get some justice done!
I'm sure most police would be happy with their current pay, if the workload was reduced by increased numbers... can't argue with the Lib Dem view on that anyway. More police would do more for this kind of crime, than an ID card would.. lol!

wow!!
either weve upset you
or your on the ale
and weve upset you
Not you pesonally rich,your a great bloke.Also Mungo was fantasic when we had the armed robbery.
I can only say how i see it from my experience with the BIB.
We spent alot of money to get this system,the police approved the setup,timed and dated so it will stand up in the courts.All they had to do was come up to see the hard drive,blow the pics up go round and get the little scrotes.They just wasn't interested also its there attitude,i think west yorks have set a load of chavs on
Rumour has it the detective has sat nav fitted to his car so he can find his way home at night.

Be prepared fopr them to return once they think the insurance company has replaced your goodies as well.
I was told that I could not put an electric charge through my shed locks
they said nothing about our snotty cat though ...
Or the geese ...
PS - forgot to say sorry and welcome to the club!
Yes, Gary, I'm sorry as well. But what about this from Mr Moggie? Hasn't the gov't just clarified the law so that "hardly anyone will ever be prosecuted for protecting their property and there's no need to change the law" and yet we have stuff like this? Don't you just wish there was some consistency? Or is it that the spin says what we want to hear and the police impose the reality? What IS the situation now with measures like this?

Last night the gypsies came back and stole some pointless garden furniture and a car trailer that wasn't bolted down. I haven't even bothered to phone the police because they wont do anything anyway.
You know, there have been several heated debates on here about gypo's, with some people defending them and saying that they are lovely people etc. Not in my experience or yours now. They are thieving gypsy scum, and they need sorting out. It's utterly appalling that the police are too scared to get involved with these wastes of genetic material. A smallish amount of napalm and an air strike would be my favoured solution.
