unfortunately the cops no longer want to do any real work and the culprits will never be found. they prefer you to take this up with the insurance
my dads car was stolen by 3 hoodies a couple of weeks ago, i saw them jump in it and drive off, called the cops. they came round pretty quick and said they would keep an eye out for it. it was discovered by a neighbour near the local park 12 hours later and the cops didnt have a clue. when asked if they wanted to take prints, they said they wouldnt bother as no blood was found in the car and left it at that
like someone says, if he was caught speeding or parking without a ticket, he would feel the full force of the law in getting him a nice fine :thumbsdown:

I would say police budget cuts, population growth, immigration and the recession has been more of a root cause than lack of police interest

Carpet gripper on the top of your fences (so long as it's high enough to stop your children reaching it). At least you may get some advance warning from the yelp, and if not then some DNA for prosecution

I'm not sure but I think you're not even allowed to do that.
So if the thieving barsterds cut their pinkies you could get into trouble :x

Q:- Can I put barbed/razor wire/broken glass on the top of my fence to stop people getting in?
Using barbed/razor wire and broken glass in order to stop people getting in to your home is not advisable. You are making yourself liable to civil action as you owe a duty of care to ensure that visitors to your property are reasonably safe. Odd as it may seem, you also owe a duty of care to trespassers.
The use of such a preventative measure could also be seen as being detrimental to the neighbourhood.
Using other methods of crime prevention such as trellis fencing and defensible planting is often more effective and pleasant to look at.
Trellis fencing is effective because it increases the height of the boundary and it is not usually strong enough to hold an intruder's weight Therefore, they may not want to risk climbing over it, breaking it and making a loud noise.
Prickly plants such as Hawthorne, Poncira, Pyracantha (rapid growth), Rosa rugosa, or any kind of Berberis are an effective obstacle against possible intruders and much more pleasant to look at.
Whatever method you use, it is important to ensure that you have planning permission, if required, and you do not leave yourself open to civil proceedings. Please see websites in related information for more detail or contact your local crime prevention/reduction officer.

Sure their have always been and will continue to be bad seeds. I think it's far more prevalent now though. When I was growing up in the sixties into the early seventies I had a stay at home mum. If I misbehaved I was punished. I was shown right from wrong. Do you really believe a hired assistant will do that.
Now days if you so much as give a gentle swat on the bum in public or even raise one's voice. You stand a chance of having to answer to a judge. Parents far to often any more buy the love of their child to make amends for both parents working. Which often leads to a spoiled child that is used to getting what they want and don't often ever hear the word "no". That can lead to the attitude that if I want it I WILL have it. If it's not given to me I'll take it. Because the world owes me.

call me synical but like most people say, the only time they seem to pursue things with a passion is when it comes to giving fines for motorists..... and as the media reported last week, they werent even very good at safeguarding their own by sending their wpc's to an area where they KNEW a dangerous felon was hiding but werent prepared to investigate
I had my garage broken into last year by someone down the road; they stole my brand new (3 weeks old) BMC streetfire 2011 road bike, a whole load of ICE I left in there over night for an install the next day and some camera stuff. All in all a great night for the thief.
The kicker was, I found my stuff on ebay and I contacted the police with the details after I'd already reported it a day before; and they hounded me night and day to not take matters into my own hands. I mean they called me 4 - 5 times a day just to confirm I was leaving it to them. in the end they took soo long to get their ass in gear I lost all the items.
Police could do nothing and neither could I, makes you wonder how effective they are nowadays.
