POLICE refused to investigate a phone theft even though the victim had a mugshot of the suspect, his name and address.
An anti-theft app on Izabela Siergiej’s phone took the man’s picture when he tried to unlock it then emailed its location.
She went to the Birmingham address and got the suspect’s name from neighbours.
But police said the location was only accurate to within 300 metres which was too big an area to search.

They will investigate crimes where somewhere has been 'offended' though.
Mr kahn and cressida have 900 rigorously combing the web for anything mentioning the people who take a fence

If the Police are like those in the NHS who get promotions and more money through passing exams rather than through being good at their jobs, then it's no surprise that nobody wants to do proper police work.
There's no incentive for them to police well, and there's no penalty for those that police poorly.
The result is the situation we have now, where a public service becomes little more than a career vehicle for certain types.

my neighbour got drummed... no investigation... too busy
Got my haircut this morning and my barber told me about a 'incident' with the police he had in Devon.
He got pulled over, copper says 'I bet you're wondering why I pulled you over'.
'Yes' says my barber.
Copper replies 'you have tinted passenger windows which are illegal, does your insurance company know about this?'
'No'
'Copper replies 'so you're not insured, how are you going to get home? I checked and see that you're from Kent'.
Apparently Devon police are the only ones with some machine that can tell how dark the tint is.
To resolve the problem he had to remove the tinted laminate from the passenger and drive home with them closed because they were still sticky.
Next thing you know is that police will be asking for support from the public.

Devon police the only ones with a machine … that's simply not correct, lovegod. However, if your barber says so.
I expect you would be the first to complain that the police were not doing their jobs if Mr Tinted Barber ran over one of your nearest and dearest because he couldn't see through the tint.

It cannot be long before the people withdraw their consent to be policed by the Police.
3 visits in 2 days recently .. looking for previous tenant of my house ... fcking useless and rude bstards
What one should learn from this is never to pick up a phone lying on the street. If you do, make sure you go straight to the police coz someone else would, with your mugshot.
Quaint that people think Plod are there to protect the little people and solve crimes perpetrated against them.
That story beggars belief but really I'm not that surprised, your average plod is as thick as two short planks.
Friends of mine got their fencing smashed to smithereens when a fight occurred outside their home during early hours and the combatants fell through it and in the process destroyed their prize flowers and shrubs. Police turned up a few days later to search their garden as one of the drunks had lost his mobile phone in the skirmish, poor lad, lol. Cost them over £200 to replace the fence and flowers.
Russians have the right idea. No trouble at the World Cup, why? Because all the known thugs were probably apprehended and detained during the competition.
I had a very odd encounter with a PCSO a few years ago.
I was about 100 yards from my front door near the top of a cul de sac. He was standing about 10 yards from his parked car.
He said to me, "I'm in a bit of a sticky situation. Can I use your bathroom?"

Another friend had a mate in the police force, he told him that PCSOs were known as CHIMPS, Cannot Help In Most Police Situations.

My next door neighbour and I can absolutely confirm that.
A friend of mine had his mobile stolen. He was able to track it down to an address. Told the police but they weren't interested.
There's no money in solving crimes. The more crimes you solve the less funding you receive.
The trick is to collect as many crime reference numbers as possible, then leave the crimes unsolved, and offer that as evidence of more funding being needed.
Any public-sector service is going to be prone to this sort of thing. I'm sure, for instance, that nearly everyone who's actually treating patients in the NHS is doing their very best for those patients. But if you're an administrator or union rep looking to boost wages, then overseeing a perpetual NHS crisis, and claiming it's down to 'austerity', is the only way you're going to achieve that.

jed.davison at 16.00 today -"They don't call them the Filth for nothing".
Who exactly are "they", jed? Don't presume to speak for me or my friends and acquaintances, all of whom have a different view, based on our experiences not on what the Sun or "they" say.
Last year, I was held up at knifepoint and robbed. Police were there in 3 minutes. Obtained local CCTV evidence and very skilfully DNA evidence also which matched the offender. Despite offender going to ground, the police carried out extensive investigations, including with foreign police and other forces in the UK. They caught the Filth (I mean the offender) despite his best efforts to avoid detection and he is now serving 10+ years as a guest of Her Majesty.
There must be thousands of people who have had similar positive experiences. No point however in taking my word for it, of course, when it suits someone's agenda to believe "they" and lovegod's barber (see above).

That's a serious offence, the public is now forced to simply accept lower level crime, including the burglary of their homes. These things used to be policed, now criminals have free rein as long as they do not offer violence.
The police haven't been bothered about crime for years, people on facebook are having to do their own investigations lol
But did the police ever really bother with violent thugs anyway? I mean the city not the sticks, its easier to contain the odd loon in the village, but city crime full of violent thugs no chance, they were always afraid of actual gangs imo

tbf they, "The Police" - are fighting a battle with their hands tied behind their backs. Legislation nowadays makes their very hard job, near on impossible.
I'm glad they sorted you out Bonnie, and I'm sure there are thousands of people, as you say, who have had positive experiences with them.
I would wager that for every one of them, there are twenty who have had disturbing experiences with them.

Summed up perfectly . Without CCTV and DNA they haven't got the faintest idea how to solve a crime .

I do feel sorry for the overstretched, poorly-funded and
swamped in paperwork police - and I mean that but how about this?
Couple of years ago just round the corner from me, an old dear (late eighties) was burgled early in the evening.
It was winter so quite dark. They never touched her but threatened to if she never told them where her valuables were, etc.
They never got away with much but she was really shaken up. The police took 35 minutes to arrive after she phoned 999
when the burglars left. I'm not knocking the coppers for that (it's a "busy" area) and they were really good with her - and helpful, etc.
Couple of days later her son arrived at her house (bloke in his mid-sixties) and proceeded to put a thin string of barbed wire along the top of
the lady's back fence (where the burglars had first entered the property). He made a very safe, tidy job of it. Within twenty minutes of finishing
the job, a bloke from the council arrived with a copper and demanded that it be taken down. H & S, etc. The guy actually said, "Someone climbing
over it could cut themselves to ribbons." The copper looked a bit sheepish and embarrassed to be fair but had to stand there while the son took it
down. The council guy ignored the son and us neighbours saying - no-one should be climbing over it unless they were up to no good - but it made no
difference. The poor, old dear's frightened in her own home now. Bit of a strange world, ain't it? PS - the fence is eight and a half feet high.

jed - I appreciate your kind words. It was a very unpleasant incident.
You say you would wager that for every good experience there are twenty bad ones, but what is your evidence for that?
I wagered on Sunday that Djokovic was a lay at 1.22 against Anderson. Shows what I know when it comes to tennis.
Reynard - you've "foxed" me. What evidence have you got for such a sweeping statement? Seems that in your world, the police are damned either way. The fox having his cake and eating it.

They've had problems solving crime ever since Morse passed away !
