Didn't even turn out when my neighbour had his £10,000 Land Rover stolen from outside his house.
For whatever reason, the police can no longer be relied on to do "the right thing". They are the enemy as far as many are concerned, parked up in vans with darkened windows in a shady layby, to catch us doing 36mph in a 30 limit on a deserted road, becuase some nimby or target chaser demands it.
Perhaps if we want to get the unsolved stats down we should bin the "too trivial" instead of "too hard" ones - starting by ignoring all the berks who complain about harassment on Facebook, and zero tolerance of the binge drinkers that soak up virtually all police resources every Friday and Saturday night throughout the land.
Must see if my Telegraph has been ironed yet.
