This may be TL;DR, apologies


Back in June, my car was vandalised while I was overseas. The police were involved, and the vandals, two teenagers, were apprehended after something like 14 cars were damaged.

The police took photos, but nobody has seen these.
The police left messages, but not through letter boxes.
The PC directly handling the case has departed the police service, and someone new has taken on the task of investigating.

Said new person has determined that the damage to my vehicle occurred subsequent to this event. He’s studied the photos. He’s made a written statement to that effect. A crime number has been provided.
The CCTV footage from the cameras that overlook the location was never collected, and has since been overwritten. There was little effort made to contact anyone.

There has been no further communication forthcoming.
Such is the mediocre state of policing in the U.K.

Maybe if I were to shout a few unverified pronouns, I might get a full armed response.


It’s little wonder if people who aren’t protected by the law feel little need to abide by it.
