Letter published in today's Daily Telegraph

SIR – As advised by my solicitor, I contacted Norfolk constabulary to obtain a crime number after the gates disappeared from a field on which I have a tenancy.

They replied thus: “The person or persons unknown who have removed your gates may intend to return them, and therefore we do not consider it necessary to issue a crime number.”

It would appear that in Norfolk anyone can feel free to take whatever they like, secure in the knowledge that if their intention is to return it, no crime has been committed.

It was an open and shut case.

LOL, add this to the other thread about coppers, let's see if felix can expalin this one away...or deny it's happening.

Felix.

Its a mistake then, unless there is more to the story - if the writer is the tennant, then who is the actual owner and have they made a complaint of theft or loss? Is the owner of the gates different to the owner of the land? Is this part of a civil dispute? What tenancy agreement does he actually have?

A lot of this goes on but but everyone denies it & no one wants to talk about it.
It's called 'Gate gate'.

Maybe Bill took them, you'd think he could afford to buy his own

No need to take a fence, Felix.

SIR – I had a similar experience to Mary Croft (Letters, September 6) just yesterday. Upon finding an abandoned mobility scooter I rang the police, only to be told that, as one had not been reported missing, I should ring the council to ask for its removal.

The council said they could not remove it as it was on private land. They told me to take it to the tip, saying that if we moved it to the pavement, we would be charged with fly-tipping.

I thought the authorities were there to serve the public, not threaten them.

My personal opinion of the authorities is very very very low through personal experiences throughout my life and YES THEY ARE ALL MUCH THE SAME ...

I get what you are saying mate but I reckon the majority would not agree with the decisions being made, where is the democracy?

Felix.

The democracy has been privatised by the government.

No, it's been done away with by Bliar's Liebour, and the gobby liberal left.

Felix.

The consensus of opinion is that the Tories are the ones slowly privatising the NHS

Most of our lost freedoms and the political correctness have all come from the gobby liberal left. rtyhe soft left, as sarah chamnpion called them.
