My sons friend had his push bike nicked the other day from in their garden causing much heartbreak for the young lad, 4 days later it turns up in the window of a secondhand shop run by a bloke of dodgy reputation probably less that 500yards from where it was nicked :evil: so boys mum phones the local fuzz who remark they are just going off shift but will look into it, they dont turn up that evening so mum rings again stating that the bike was stolen earlier in the week and she has found it in this shop, fuzz this time says he will be round sometime this morning (saturday) to look. in the meantime bloke sells it for £35 to a passer by :evil: fuzz turns up say they cant do anything as no proof and leave.
what a waste of time they are its almost as if they cant be bothered to catch criminals even when you find them redhanded!
luckily one of the neighbours kids took a photo of the bike in the shop window and since complaining about service by the police it looks like now something will be done about the bloke in the shop

Where I work we have a decent relationship with the Police and they're generaly very helpful.
A couple of years ago though we had some real violence kicking off in the shop the security guard was being attacked as things escalated quickly. I called 999 and ended up on an answering machine. This was about 2.30 on a Sat afternoon. The Police never turned up. Thry did phone the next morning though to find out what was wrong :doh:

We had a similar thing with the police not wanting to investigate anything. They just dont seem interested in small crime anymore. I know the usual excuse about numbers and no time to investigate, but after watching half a dozen of them congregating at a butty van in town for a coffee.
Now i know they are due breaks etc.... but its a bit disconcerting if they are all in the same place at the same time.
In the end with my thing i had to quote law to the sergeant and threatened to go to the ipcc and in the end he investigated the matter.
Same thing a couple of years ago, someone through paint stripper over bettyblue22's car, she phoned the police and they came out a couple of days later to look at it. The funny thing was, the person who did it sent a picture msg of them throwing the paint stripper over the car and the police refused to even look at it!! In the end the person got off scott free cos the investigating officer didnt do owt. This was £750 worth of criminal damage!
