They are quite happy to treat you like animals at football grounds up and down the country, with their hundreds of robocop pals, telling you where you can and can't go, what you can and can't do, marching you all over the shop with licence to ask you anything they like expecting a reply, but when it comes to being burgled at 10pm, you are still waiting for any police attention at nearly 4am... thank god they have got their priorities right.

Give them a ring, tell them you caught one, and what you are going to do to them.
See how quick they come round then.
I'm with threadkiller on this- we woke to burglars actually in the house called the OB and they were there in seconds and caught them in the act!
Hope you get it all sorted soon ISLS
police haven't bothered coming this morning either... obviously depends on where you live Threadkiller, to say i'm not impressed might be an understatement!
Hope you get it sorted out mate
we got burgled when i was a kid. we were away at the time but the gut wrenching feeling that someone had been through our house has never gone.
since leaving home have never been done (touches wood) but have often thought what would i do if i caught someone. not being a violent person, i find it surprising that i can picture myself nailing the bastard to my floorboards and hooking their bollocks with my 3 iron, before sticking a sack over their head, taking them to the middle of nowhere, dousing them in petrol and making them light a match.
police came yesterday lunchtime, apart from a replacement window and concern it will happen again (and having the most useless letting agency in the world who have still not responded to an emergency voicemail on their mobile) things are back to normal.
thanks for the concern lads!
The old bill took ages to get to ours as well - we live in Croydon so its hardly surprising. When the bloke did come round he was great - he told us right there and then that there wasn't much chance of catching them, but they would try their damnedest to do so. I told him what would have happened if I'd come home and caught them at it - he laughed and said that contrary to what you hear about or read in the papers, you would usually get away with it provided you could prove it was in self defence. I feel sorry for the decent coppers out there - there are still a few about - but they are utterly overrun now with 20-something ****pots with glue in their hair who don't give a monkeys about the job - they just want the 28k starting salary and the move to a DC within two years then sail off towards their pension doing f all.
Grrrrr
It would put any man off burglary for life and then some.
do tell dicko??
Clsoe work mate was stalked by ex BF. He smashed her place up, attacked her and stole her contact book. She was a Senior manager in sales and marketing. This scum bag then went on to phone EVERY one in her book and explain what they used to get up to. Including phonong her parents etc. I went to her flate got her gear, got HR to phone all her conatcts and explain she had lost her address book etc, Got the top boss to give her time off etc. Moved her to her brothers hse.
two years later she joined OB she asked me what i thought and i told her dealing with the scum of the earth each day will change you for ever. She still joined.18 months ago i needed a character ref` , i asked her if she would. She refused and said the Police Federation had advised her not to !
Im not sure this was supposed to make me laugh... but it did!!!
Rang old bill who said they'd send us a form to fill out. Thanks!
