to the above post, sadly, all too common. It's what lots of people find these days, and before anyone says it, no, I don't hang around with low-lifes.

Just last year, 3 incidents: My eldests £1600 trials MTB, nicked from our locked garage. No visit, just a crime number. I tried to get the police interested, but the only people interested were the local rag, who did try to help.

My eldest's car deliberately rammed by a stolen car, damage to the entire o/s. We had to go in to report it, follow up was nill.

We then got TWO coppers come to our house to interview my youngest as he'd taken a short cut across the local junior school field, on his way home from secondary school. What a crime!

The older male copper was arsey with me because I laughed at them and told him he didn't remember the incident, OK? I just said, "Whatever, you help us, we help you. Otherwise, goodbye".

Waste of space and council tax precept.

How about THOSE for prioritising?
