Justice? (Excuse for a rant) ;)
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.

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,

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!

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.

Nope, that's what the central fund insurance companies setup to cover those affected by uninsured drivers

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.

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.

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.

A shopkeeper put up a photo of a thief in his window, asking if anyone recognised him, and was told to remove it by the police as it infringed the
miscreants Human Rights.
Crime DOES pay... being honest DOESNT.
Its not right.

2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

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.

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.
