Ark Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I don't want to piss on anyones parade, but I once got three scrotes caught red-handed, housebreaking - actually in their victims house (our neighbour...would've been our house but for a stroke of luck!). Had to do the whole statement thing, CPS wanted me as prime witness, blah blah blah. Got a letter a couple of months later saying the whole thing had been dropped! FFS!!! Happens all too often. Anyway, I still get loads of satisfaction from seeing a huge police dog jump clean over a six foot wall, almost on top of one of the burglars - he almost jumped out of his skin!!!

Ark Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 From my experience the cops tend to 'leak' the punter's name anyway. Somehow they try to make a point, maybe that they don't like people who add to the crime figures of their patch. Think about it: more physical work for them, even more paperwork and no extra cash. No glory either, the punter caught the scrotes, the cops moved in because they had no choice. Cynical or Realistic? No extra cash??? Coppers can pull £80K /year with the overtime the paperwork creates!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 I almost want something like this to happen round here - that'd be a good excuse to get the Katana down for a clean! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotasuprauk Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 Good work! I have no faith in our justice system and wouldnt be suprised if they get away with it. But whats the point in going around causing damage to cars its just so pointless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 sometimes it's just scrotes who are on the dole, so even if they get convicted and are forced to pay damages, they only lose a few quid per week maximum. ...and they may come back later on to show their gratitude, you never know.... In my case they were 'professionals' just kicking and keying whatever was in their way. They live a few hundred yards away actually, the one who kicked my mirror had a nice car as well parked proudly in his driveway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veilsideTT Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 You know this really f**ks me off. Our piss pot policing system will give them a slap on the back of the hand and send them on their way. Oh and whilst your at it boys, heres a few therapy slots we want you to go on "dont worry, we will pay for transport costs, loss of earnings, and provide refreshments, then you wont do it again will you" So in turn, were all paying for them to damage our cars! work that one out! wankers:complain: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No glory either, the punter caught the scrotes, the cops moved in because they had no choice. Cynical or Realistic? Cynical. Try applying a bit of thought yourself, John. The person erporting the crime isn't the one who is adding to the crime figures FFS. The @rseholes doing the damage are the people doing that. As soon as the victim reports the damage in the morning, the crime figures go up. When someone reports the crime in progress and they get there in time to catch the muppets, it goes down as a detected crime - which is what the Police want isn't it??? The Police depend on the public calling stuff like this in to them. They aren't waiting on every street corner waiting to catch someone on the off-chance! As for trying to 'leak' the informants name - get real. (But no doubt it's happened to you.... ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 As for trying to 'leak' the informants name - get real. (But no doubt it's happened to you.... ) Didn't happen to me because I avoid involving the authorities. I see it as a sign of weakness (the 'other' side will also see it as such) It also makes one predictable and eliminates any other response (I'd be the top suspect from then onwards, not smart) I've seen it happen to others though. Last time it was a lady living 20 yards away. At the time our street was suffering of harassment and petty vandalism from some nice 'children', known-unknown. She reported it to the police and the next day a fire engine was outside my house, they had burnt down her hedge, trees and was about to spread to her conservatory.

So from that, you can safely conclude that beyond reasonable doubt it was the Police that 'Leaked' it. ok. Just so I'm clear on that.

francis Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Good work mate, the world needs more people like you policing the streets! The people who do this kind of thing annoy the hell out of me, I saw someone smashing sides of cars with a traffic cone last year, called the police but the guy only got a caution! About a year before that I saw some guy walking along (on the bonnet and roofs) a line of cars down Old Brompton Road at about 1am, wish I'd reported him too now Out of interest, think u could let us know what punishment these guys get once it's dished out?

I never said that the above is a safe conclusion beyond reasonable doubt. That's a quick assumption you've made. (Use your brain. What do you want, specific names + addresses on a public forum?)

Soop Dogg Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Either it was enough to substantiate your claim that the Police 'Leak' names to crimials or it wasn't. As you made your accusation regarding such 'leaks' earlier in the thread, the assumption naturally follows that it indeed WAS enough to substantiate such a claim or someone as intelligent as yourself wouldn't have made the claim in the first place. No? I'm sure making accusations without the necessary evidence to back it up would surely not be your style. Names and addresses not necessary, really. Wouldn't want anything to be 'leaked' here.

JohnA Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 ...I'm sure making accusations without the necessary evidence to back it up would surely not be your style. I expressed my view, and clearly marked it as such ("from my experience....") ...and if you think that I would risk being more specific on a public forum, you've gotta be out of your mind:eyebrows: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnA Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Vomit can be corrosive and even abrasive, depending on the punter's recent intake of course. http://www.max-boost.co.uk/stuff/vomit.jpg I'm sure your cusion mixed the brew in-situ and thoroughly.

supRo Posted November 26, 2006 Author Share Posted November 26, 2006 Sorry to revive this old thread but I thought I'd share some good news. I was due to attend court at the end of the month for the trial of these two blokes (Who turned out to be brothers). They had about 12 charges each. I went to my Luton home yesterday to find a letter from the Police to say that the two brothers have now pleaded guilty and I don't need to attend court! I guess the Police managed to get hold of more evidence than I thought I'm not sure what the sentence would be but I really hope they get more than a slapped wrist. I don't know how the brothers stand in terms of paying back for all the damage? Cheers, Ro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
