The problem is that they don't get caught. Murder clear-up rate is 97% in this country, and we have one of the lowest murder rates anywhere. Burglary/theft clear-up rate is in the low teens, and we have a very high rate of that. We need more police to catch more criminals.

I sympathise with the 'vigilante' response, but hope it's not getting more prevalent. What's the difference between them breaking the Law, and vigilantes breaking the Law? Locally, those who pester the Police, write to the local paper and their local MP have more success. But some days, I do believe in the right to bear arms!!
I can sympathse, my g/f took my £500 bike to work the other month (first mistake ) and it got stolen, police wouldnt do anything even though a camera is pointing towards the bike rack!
I guess it's because im not David Cameron!
