[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7781770, member: 2119"] I share your frustration with this kind of thing but sadly it will only make matters worse taking the law into our own hands. If I saw a suspicious vehicle parked up in passing I'd probably inform the police. They'd laugh in my face but it might help piece something together though they seem pretty reticent on the detective work front. We had a spate of diesel thefts here a few years back. Everybody knew and still does know who it was, a chap who lived in the town. The police even caught him with several spray drums of diesel in his vehicle but somehow couldn't pin it on him. In reality if the police drove through some of the local estates in the early hours or parked up for a bit and watched they would probably learn a lot more than sat at HQ supping tea. A lot of the vehicles used actually stick out like sore thumbs. Subaru Foresters or whatever they call them all seem to used for nefarious purposes. Surely a quick scan of the DVLA records for who owns these vehicles would be a goldmine of information. Number plate recognition, a few all night patrols, stop and search, a network of farmers eyes on the ground and you would think we could have the job sorted but no, all we get is a visit from PCSO Dibble 24 hours after its happened if we are lucky.
