just spent two hours making a statement for the police<br>
caught some scroats ripping a nos plate from my clio<br>
watched them on my cammera then realised that there one was crouching in between two cars them so challenged them he returned the rear plate and they drove off so i rang the police and gave the reg of the car they were driving got a phone call ten mins later they have apprehended them and do i want them arrested (yes) so they got a little stay in custody as a easter pressy and a court apperance to follow <br>
so beware all who have got a few cars around

do YOU want them arrested? sould that not be 'we have arrested and charged them'!<br>
and two hours to say 'i saw them nicking my plates' bet the cop was on overtime.<br>

The statement is purely because they need eye-witness evidence of them committing an offence. Without it, they don't have enough grounds to charge them.<br>
<br>
Well done George, most people wouldn't have made the call. It might not be crime of the century but at least this way, they are on the radar now.<br>

They take the plates to fill a similar car with fuel before driving off without paying.<br>
<br>
Far less hassle reporting them now than trying to convince the police you just haven't knicked a tankfull yourself later!

i relise that they need a good well filled out statment so the defence doesn't get it dropped because they misspelt the door number.but 2 hours? i just goes to show why some cops think its a waste of time chasing those 'minor crimes', knowing that the scum will get 5 hours community service and a small fines that they can pay off at £2 p/m.<br>
I wasn't having a dig at you for reporting them but personally i wouldn't cos the scum would then have me nicked for breaking their fingers<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

what if they ran into your car or one of your childrens <br>
injured them drove off etc... whilst using a false set of plates

<p></p><i></i>

If you believe what you read in the papers then they'd just get a warning these days! Aparently you have to be a really unlucky rapist these days to get any form of decent punishment!

i agree with you but you gota make a stand <br>
you only go to jail for defrauding the inland revenue etc..<br>
