It seems the brave thin blue line are out there, keeping our car parks safe. How are they doing that?
Well, by ensuring that cars are not left unlocked.
OK, fair enough.
Then by checking that no sat nav cradles are on view.
Err…
And then that no-one’s hung a jacket in their car.
WTF?
And god forbid anyone leaves a tennis racquet in there (The Met must be busy come Wimbledon fortnight..)!
And better make sure your kids don’t leave anything either.
So…when you next phone 999 in Leicestershire, and there’s no response, just remember that at least the police are all helping out with the burning issue of people having personal items in their personal vehicles.
Mind how you go, now.
I a baseball bat was left in a car, what would they say to that ?
ReplyDeleteI'd be very tempted to leave a seemingly bloodied dress and a kitchen knife in my car, along with a roll of duct tape and a length of tow rope.
ReplyDeleteOr perhaps a length of two by four with some nails hammered through one end.
Wonder what would happen then?
Give them something to actually be concerned about.
Funny how some sorts of warnings are more acceptable than others. I can't see the police taking photos of excessive cleavage or exposed thighs among female nightclub drunks to warn about the risks of rape. They'd call that 'victim shaming'.
ReplyDeleteI would consider opening a twit account if they do that. ; )
DeleteAssistant chief constable Abdul Ahmed of Rotherham plod, has a squad dedicated to monitoring the amount of flesh exposed by pubescent girls, and that the same is within specified Quran limits.
ReplyDeleteA laudable public service to ensure no valuables are on display which would invite, nay justify, abduction, rape and trafficking.
"Don't you know you can't have nice things?"
ReplyDeleteI should do by now!
"Wonder what would happen then?"
They;d smash your window, impound your car & probably charge you with wasting police time!

Spot on! I had some lively online discussion on Twitter with some police officers over the drone incident, and that 'argument' was used to justify arresting the photographer.
When I countered with this, they went strangely quiet...
"I would consider opening a twit account if they do that. ; )"
LOL!
