Justice my arse.
My house was burgled 6 weeks ago and I got a good picture of him on the CCTV in the kitchen (I use it to watch the fridge, don't ask). To cut a
long story short, the lad was identified within 1 hour and was arrested the next day, he admitted the burglary and has been .... warned.
I didn't get any of my property back.
Meanwhile, I have been told that my insurance company won't pay out because the bathroom window was left open.
So next time, I'll not bother phoning the police I reckon.
Whilst I'm ranting ... I was on the M62 the other day and lost a 'box' I was carrying so I pull over and phone the police to let them
know and for them to clear the road. Next thing, I get 3 points and a fixed penalty.
So next time, I'll not bother phoning the police I reckon.
/me grumbles off into the corner.

bastards... useless twats.
I agree with you mate as I'd certainly think twice about phoning the police and ...well not to put it in too much light. I start working for them
in 3 weeks! I'm sorry though, I had to laugh at this:

I'll word this carefully....
One might be tempted to track down one's fridge visitor.
A few carefully selected words by some large friends might encourage said visitor to move away from his forthcoming life of crime.
Cheers,
James
Just get James to do it. He's good at kicking people. And his missus too. Then you get the pleasure of getting him beaten up by a girl!
Not that I condone violence of any kind to these miserable theiving little useless muppets.
so they caught him n didnt charge him or get him to pay for the stolen items?
He's a 17 yr old scrote, he'll have told 'em he didn't get a bike for his 6th Birthday or summat and that it's not his fault
he's a theiving pikey twat.
Cue the social-workers and hey-presto, a verbal warning from a PC and out in time to burgle a couple of houses before bed-time...
Cnutz, the lot of 'em

A few minutes after my beloved trailer (Mk1) was burgled, I phoned the plod. There are only three roads out of town so I assumed it wouldbe easy
enough for the BiB to catch the burglerisers. The seven year old copper turned up the next morning. He asked the usual inane questions which meant
nothing to anyone, and especially nothing that would help catch a feef.
He did get excited when I mentioned that it had my reg plates attached when it was stolen because his 'colleagues will have pulled any vehicle
with miss-matched plates so it was just a case of him asking around and simply finding our who had been pulled that night!!!' Simple.
I mentioned that in the many thousands of miles I have towed trailers, most of them have been without reg plates or the wrong ones and I've
neverbeen stopped by the BiB. He then offered to issue me with a ticket for admitting to a breach of the oad Traffic Act. Tit.

Roadkill,
That insurance refusal to pay seems interesting, what specific reason did they give, I will check it out, you didn't intentially leave the window
open I assume.
Rich.
Justice,
and they wonder why people take maters into there own hands.

I had a break-in in the middle of the night a few years back and fortunately I heard the intruder enter the property because my door chimed. I
stumbled down stairs thinking (for some weird, sleepy reason) that my wife or one of the kids must be sleep-walking or something. When I got to the
living room I saw the torch-light under the door leading to the kitchen and realised it was a burglar!
Picture me standing there in my underpants (maybe best not), half asleep and with my heart going ten to the dozen with my wife and three kids fast
asleep upstairs and not a weapon in sight! That is not a nice feeling! In the end I crashed through the kitchen door with an ornamental table as a
weapon just in time to see the back door close. Probably for the best because one of us would have been hurt for sure!
I now have a 4 x D-cell Mag-lite aluminium torch beside my bed just in case we have a power cut or some other emergency...
I've heard noises in the night a couple of times since and have frightened the life out of my cats on both occasions by charging into the kitchen
with my Mag-lite at the ready!
It's a f***ed up world we live in when burglars get off with a warning and we get locked up for defending our family and fined for going slightly
over an arbitrary speed limit.
Craig.
Roadkill, next time just gift the twatt the fridge from a great height oh dear he couldn't catch it 
.
Craig, you gotta be wrong there mate! just wear a veil or claim you are a F** incomer and it is o.k. we will just giveyou a slap on the wrist! What
is going on ???
a fire extinguisher is a useful device to have beside the bed, ideal to disorientate any intruder just before he gets clattered by it!
Go after the insurance company and don't give up until they pay up. Companies nowadays, especially the direct line cheap ones, will use every excuse to avoid paying out.
would you like to borrow my dog ?
would it be wrong to make a still photo from the fridge cam and name and shame to dude

All of you stop your moaning, have faith...
When he's burgled a few more houses and been caught a few more times. He'll be issued with an ASBO....
That'll teach him!

Arseholes, the lot of them. I hate the system in this country. Most of the hard working decent people in this country are law abiding, but because
they are honest they are easy to catch and fine (speed cameras). The twats who drive around with no tax, no mot, no insurance, no licence seem to
always get away with it.
We got burgled a few years back, cops came round, said they knew who did it, but because they didn't have any evidence couldn't do anything
about it. I suggested they tell me who they thought had done it so me and the boys could pay him a visit, and they warned me off!
Cops don't seem to want to catch anyone, CPS doesn't want to prosecute and prisons seem to be a joke.
Mike
i have an ornamental sword by my bed, bet i wouldn't have the guts to use it if it came to it though.... and even if i did have the guts ide end
up in the poo for protecting my self !
John
Cheers for the replies lads, I should get a letter from the insurance company to confirm that they are tw*ts on Monday.
I have the right to 'appeal' I suppose, so if anyone is good with these kind of things, I would be grateful of any (helpful) advice, Thanks.
good luck with the insurance. hope it works out

You talkin' 'bout ol' broke ribs Jim?
Sorry officer I was mistaken:
XxXxXx said they closed the window just before we went out, so they must have levered it open, look can't you see the screwdriver marks on the
window frame
you can backtrack your statement to cover the window, no problem. you can insist they prosecute and charge him with theft as you have items missing,
he has them, simple....
I have a few items in the house, base ball bat, and a ball to go with it to keep it legal, a LARGE 6 cell maglite, that is legal as its a torch. I
have CCTV front and back with infra red, and 24 recording. alarm boxes, a rottweiller, and i am a mean git that has been chucking people outa clubs
for 14 years and i also carry handcuffs for a living.......... SO, as you can guess, i have never been burgled. a sign on the front of the house, and
poss the back, saying that CCTV is in use(ebay £1.50) and a sign saying beware of the (big dog) etc, should help with ANY future attempts...
also, if you have the picture, i would print off 100 or so, with a word or 10 on the bottom saying "this moron is a burglar etc etc, laminate
some, and go out one evening for a walk, all over, and pin them everywhere....... wear gloves etc, and no one will know who put them up........ it
wont get ya stuff back, but at least it will get people to know who the dead beat is......
me, i would find him and re educate him in the ways of the world, and show him that human rights, are not meant for little chavy C@UNTS like
him........ GOD, I hate them all, string them up and stick some fireworks up there rears and light them with a burning asbo!!!!!!!!
send me and james over...... hehe
rant over............

I find that a lot with dogs, as I work in people's homes. Most dogs can sound angry through a letter box, but once you're in and
stroking/scratching the bottom of it's back, they give up and roll over. Well, it's always worked for me. And rottweilers are some of the
softest dogs I've ever met so far. Not saying they're all like that though.
dogs read you well, if they see fear they know they have won. 
True, I've got a friend who's mum used to breed dogs, so I'm not worried by dogs regardless of size. Yet I know some people who hate dogs and the dogs always respond to them differently.
The only problem with big dogs is when the scum bags poison them!
This happened to a guy I worked with a few years back. He has a German Shepherd and was pretty surprised one day to come downstairs to find that
someone had broken in and stolen his car keys (and car) in the middle of the night along with other valuables and their dog had a very upset stomach
and had redecorated the kitchen for them... They took it to the vet as it was very groggy and the vet confirmed it had been given some sort of
tranquiliser. The police said this was common and ideally the dog should not be hept where it could be fed by a potential intruder.
I suppose you could protect the letter box with a mail basket or something to prevent this.
Cheers,
Craig.
Bastards!
Roadkill,
My borther is an insurace ombudsman, I will ask his advice.
Rich.
dog is a 2nd door away...... so front not an option. always the gate i guess.
