Ive had the pleasure of meeting a very nice man from the SOC investigator from sussex police after some low life decided they wanted my car more than me not happy with just breaking the lock they crowbar the top of the door then pull it a full 9inches out then proceed to smash the steering lock.
they must have been disturbed as they legged it with the small change for parking.
insurance will cough up but the really sad side is that there are 4 evidence collectors in this area and they visit on average 20!!!!!!!!!!!! break-ins a day between them.
this means on average insurance companys are paying out £500 pounds of our premuims per claim.
And yes he said they do catch a fair few but very seldom do they get sent down.
in fact they have proof that their offending within hours which he said makes his job pretty piontless most of the time.
they all get fined but if theve got no money this just makes it worse.
now my gripe is if all these do gooders in those camera partnerships spent as much time on real crime than chasing motorists doing 3 mph over the limit perhaps our insurance might drop.
end of rant.
