As my name would suggest I am a motor trader with retail premises, however when I am overstocked I will have some cars at home.

Some scrotes visit me one night and break into 4 cars causing plenty of damage, they steal nothing because there is nothing to steal, however they have butchered locks to get in.
On one of the vehicles (a Porsche 911) they have removed the side glass to gain entry. The glass is covered in finger prints.
Telephone local police station to ask for somebody to come out and are told "we dont come out to car crime!)
Explain about prints on glass and am told they will ring back.5 hours later they ring back however the print man is busy and cant come out, but if you drop the glass with us we will finger print it when we get chance!! Cant tell me when I will get my glass back.

Same day the police, customs and excise, DSS,DOT, and god knows who else are congrigated by the Frontier nightclub in Batley using their car park as a vehicle check point, pulling in vehicles, dipping the tank, checking to see if you are signing on the dole and virtually doing a roadside MOT on my car transporter.including jacking it up in the air(they found nothing). Total time taken from been flagged down to leaving 45 minutes.
Total number of police, traffic wardens, customs and other bods at least 15.
Motorists and law abiding citizens of the Uk are having the piss taken out of them.

Rant Over.

Thanks for responses.............

R32....I think west yorkshire is particually bad for night policing as the police told me they only have two cars to cover a massive area.............where does all the money the cameras generate go??

These roadside checks really do P**s me off though........

I think a national revolt is on the cards soon in a similar vein to the fuel demonstrations..
