I had a pop at a bloke trying to break in to my car outside the office - saw it on the CCTV acroos from my desk.

Legged it downstairs, out the door and clobbered him. Was having a nice to do until another car screetched up and he dived into it.

Called the police and it was funny when we watched the CCTV tape back. As it showed me punching the bloke, the copper stood up and shouted, 'Go on my son, slap him!'.

Was rather surprised, to say the least.

Never caught the guy. All I could say was it was a young black bloke and the car was a blue Astra Mk2

The moral of the story is, if you see a chav running, always knock him over just to be on the safe side!

just became one bounce

was just cruising home as i normally do.. but then at the set of lights ahead of me, i see to figures running down the middle of the road towards me.. i slow down: wondering whats happening.

As i get closer i realise its a typical cops & robbers situation. BIB guy ( out of puff ) chasing chav crook ( less out of puff and will most likely outrun copper )

so i do what any (in)sane person would do, and i h'brake turn the car into his path... crook effortlessly hops over my bonnet.. lol rolleyes

i reverse out of the way for the copper, but can see he's still loosing ground, so i turn and catch up to BIB tooting my horn, then lean over and open my passenger door wide.

BIB thinks for a moment, then turns and jumps in.

meanwhile chav crook has slowed slightly, maybe sensing victory

once BIB is seated, i bravely screech off after him ( just like on the bill ) after what surely felt like seconds, i was alongside the chav again valiantly screeching to a stop ( no abs.. brilliant )

BIB jumps out and wrestles chav to the ground...

i reverse 50yards or so back up the road to watch the rest of the show.


in the end i get a thumbs up.

great, one less scumbag on the streets, Midlanders can sleep easy tonight... i think i should get a costume!
Um, confused. At which point did you become a 'have a go hero'?

Well done for giving the Copper a lift though.

Nah I don't believe it, the copper would have dragged you out of the driver's seat whilst yelling 'Police business, I'm commandeering your vehicle!', or so i'm led to believe

About 10 years ago I noticed a car driving up the middle of the road behind me in rush hour traffic with everyone making way for him. I pulled out into the middle of the road to block him, and noticed a Garda car well behind him with blue light flashing. I held the car behind me until I noticed a Garda Isuzu Trooper coming the other way. I pulled back to the left and the car passed me only to get rammed by the Trooper.

Three scrotes bailed out and ran. I was ready to pursue them until I noticed that all the Gardai were white haired and clearly not up for the hunt.

Meanwhile an old scrote and a scummy young woman remained in the rammed car. The girl kept saying over and over: "Ooooh me neck!"

The ex bird and my daughter were in the car with me and they didn't even know what I was doing.

Turns out the scrotes had just pulled off an armed robbery of a petrol station. Good thing they had thrown their shotgun from the car during the chase.

i could have just not done anything and riven around the pair of "joggers" but the fact i did "something" is surely better than just rubbernecking with my fingers in my ears saying "lalalalala"

That's why I said well done for giving them a lift. Its not exactly a "Have a go Hero" story though is it....? You assisted a Copper in his job. Very comendable. But there was already a copper there doing this job, its not as if you acted without police support and confronted a villian yourself, is it?

Its not to be recommended by the way. I've done it. Intervened on a racially motivated gang beating, saved a young coloured lads life and detained one of the yobs doing it. I was lucky in that just after I got involved the police cars started turning up in the street with their sirens blaring, as i was a sure thing for a gang beating (there were at least 20 of them). The gang ran in all directions when they heard the old bill, except for the one I now had pinned to the floor.

My thanks? Being seriously jumped on by the old bill when they eventually turn up and being physically detained for assault on the main culprit, whilst they let him walk away. Complete retards.


Anyway, again, well done for helping the old bill out.
