[QUOTE="Paddington, post: 7796039, member: 252"] Someone living near Farnham had his car stolen. His neighbour reported seeing it in a nearby pikie camp, no attempt to hide it. He contacted the police, but several days later, the car was still there. The local press got hold of the story and questioned the police over their inactivity, which was according to the inspector in charge, down to insufficient manpower and safety of their officers to enter the camp. I don't know if the chap got his car back, but around this time, someone broke into my car, though nothing was stolen, just the lock jemmied. I went to report it at the local nick and after a long wait was told no one was available to take a statement from me. It was a Saturday afternoon and there seemed to be a lot of cheering coming from the back room where the football was on. That night the inspector rang me to take a statement, there had been a lot of similar car trouble in the area and his men were run off their feet (perhaps why they were resting that afternoon). I would need to claim off insurance. Months later I received a letter from the police, a man had confessed to 40 car theft/ attempted car thefts and was now in prison. As he had been arrested on a more serious charge, they would not be taking any further action. [/QUOTE]
