How Much More Secure Does It Need To Be..?

Det Sgt Rachael Foy, from Bedfordshire Police, said: "We would urge all kennel owners as well as dog owners to ensure their dogs and premises are secure."

So....this wasn't? 

The kennel owner said the dogs were taken in about 10 minutes after the thieves scaled a 12-foot fence and smashed a fire door.

/facepalm

What exactly do you suggest then, DS Foy? 

"Well, actually..."

"This includes ensuring dogs are micro-chipped, installing CCTV and additional locks where possible, as well as not leaving dogs unattended in public places."

Not a public place. So irrelevant.

Is it just possible that Rachael Foy is, um, a dog? Or more properly, a bitch?

And who the flying fuck steals a dog when a dog isn't just for Christmas, but is for life?

"...ensure their dogs and premises are secure."

So to translate from plod-talk: We intend to do SFA.

I wonder if the so helpful plod went round to the local pikey establishment and had a look.

Another woodentop reading from a page written by the college of policing.

So once again it's obvious what the problem is here. If you work hard and buy a dog or anything desirable with your hard earned wages it's your own fault if you get robbed. That neatly removes all responsibility to help or protect you from the Police as you brought it on yourself. All crime is the responsibility of the victim and therefore just an insurance matter, sounds just like newspeak doesn't it.

If DS Foy was replaced with a speak-your-weight machine, would anyone notice?

I expect more from our paid public servants (joke or two in there), than just reading out a cover-all statement, irrelevant to the case.

What good would CCTV be. If you had clear pictures of the perpetrators would the police be interested at all?

Mod Plod is an utterly useless 'service' clawing an even bigger financial black hole in the economy.

Here's a clue to the usual suspects: 🥧🔑

"I wonder if the so helpful plod went round to the local pikey establishment and had a look."

Ha ha ha ha ha! Oh, wait. You're serious?

"If DS Foy was replaced with a speak-your-weight machine, would anyone notice?"

Maybe when the arrest rate went up?

The obvious way to improve security there would be to give up on the spaniels and switch to pit-bulls and Rottweilers. Wonder whether DS Foy would approve?.
