A couple of nice tales from Harv and Jools, and i've had similar experiences in the past with some exceptionally keen and professional officers.

But sadly it's not allways like that. A few nights ago at 1a.m. I was woken by banging noises which sounded like someone climbing over a fence. I looked out of the bedroom window and saw 2 men in our garden. I immediately dialled 999 & asked for the police, giving a very detailed description of the men. Eventually they left the garden and went off up the road. I followed them in my van and after about 15 minutes dialled 999 again & told the police I was still following them. In the end I gave up and went home. Nobody attended and when I phoned up the next day to ask why not I was told that the description of the men had been circulated to patrols. When I asked why nobody had attended the girl just gave me the same answer.

I'll sort it myself next time.

Not having a dig mate but it gets to the point when on certain shifts, there really isnt any police officers spare.:o

My brother and sister-in-law were at work during the day, around 2pm an elderly neighbour spotted four people acting suspicious around my brothers house, three of them jumped over his wall and proceded to break into his house, while the other keept a look-out. The neighbour by that time had called the police (999) and told them what was going on. They manged to get into his house, alarm blaring, break into his garage and walk off with his Yam R6. using his keys from inside the house. Shortly after my brother retirns from work to see a smashed in back door. He grabs a bat and goes outside to see if he can see any one. On getting outside a police car gently pulls up. They ask him what he is doing, he says that someone has broken in. They confirm this by saying "We know, and thay have stolen your motorbike!"
My brother hadn't even thought to check his garage and was shocked to know how they knew. "Oh a neighbour was giving a running commentary to what was going on."
It turns out the police took 40 mins to get to his house, from their station which is two and a half miles away on a weekday afternoon.
He was been paid out by the insureance but he won't get another bike, incase it happens again.
If he had £50 mil or so stolen. they might've been quicker.
