As mentioned above, i was a little scared even to start reading this thread as i knew everyone on here would have a story or stories of crime/anti-social behaviour these days. Some of you will know that i live on a farm and maybe think crime would be lower in the countryside, sadly not, i would imagine my average for having to ring the police to report crime
is once very three weeks, i must say however 95% of the time the police are very quick to respond, i know we all see wasted manpower but in my experience our force are pretty good.
The best one was when two lads broke into my house trying to steal my hard earned laptop, cash and car, they ran at my dad with a screwdriver as he calmly phoned 999 to give them the number plate, they caught them within 5 miles after a car chase. I could fill pages and pages with what happens; from stealing copper wires to fly tipping (probably every 10 days).
To try and help, we now let the armed section and dog section use our farm and buildings for training, ive never seen a scrap man look so scared when he drove into the yard once to be confronted by 15 armed police and 3 dogs.
