      A local vet had their private ambulance stripped in the middle of the night recently.

      Low level crime is out of control in this country.

      Tories talking about decreases in crime stats. No one even phones the police anymore for smaller crimes.

      Why waste your time phoning police when something is stolen from you when it will take them two weeks to come and take a statement from you and then another 2 weeks before they close the investigation and cite a lack of evidence.

      Even if you have it on cctv and know the blokes fucking name.

      I don’t blame individual police. But as a service they are failing this country.

      It doesn’t help that manufactures are taking the utter mick with their parts pricing.

      Saw a BMW that had a sensor taken from the front and they wanted £4.5k to replace it. Are we saying a small radar sensor is worth 10% of the cars total value?

      Vehicle butlers 🤔…… if only there was another name for taking something that doesn’t belong to them….maybe something like Tea Leaf,or,I’ve got it…. Thieving cunts

      Edit: I’m leaving it as butlers… because that made me smile

      Because of all this, I’ve rented a car to go to London next month.

      I have a Fiesta which is a sitting duck for this kinda thing.

      I’m glad this is happening tbh. High prices for a £2 car part are spiking insurance premiums and we’re slowly following this trend that’s been happening in the US for years.

      This growth in theft is a sign that price gouging is happening unchallenged and some unscrupulous folk are doing this.
