Top marks to a couple of cops today!

I had a similar thing happen to me some years ago; three High school boys lifted about $700 dollars worth while we watched.

We rang the cops but they hadn't arrived when the boys were about to leave so I snuck out and locked the door.

The father of one of them made him come back and sweep floors, clean toilets etc as punishment. Turned out he became quite a good customer.

Yeah, that sounds like a kid whose parents actually give a shit, so chances are he'll turn out ok.

When i was 11 I stole a K-bar once ( the 20c lolly) i still feel sick thinking of it and ive never been back to that dairy ever.

There i said it

I was accused of stealing bicycles and thrown out of school.

Bastards, I fucking borrowed it to go to the damn shop to get a pie.

So it's your fault they banned pies from school!

Am I getting old is that kind of thing much more prevalent now?

Bring back the cane!

it is much more common. they were egging each other one, with only having the sense to tell the rest to shut up.

ynot, fully with you on the cane thing. its seriously needed and should never have been removed in the first place. the rules surrounding its use needed to be looked at [like belting a kid for writing with their left hand etc] but it should never have been banned from schools.
even little kids, like 6 year olds, you cant tell them not to do something in the shop cos they will give you lip in return, and likely their parent will be there to help them out, even if the kid is in the wrong.

i think that someone needs to start courses to boost self confidence when dealing with situations like this. they will start to happen more and more often. i would have loved to be as cool as the off duty cop was, but was scared half to death of these kids 11 years younger than me.

Hell, I done a good job some time back.. Finished my early shop at Countdown in Levin and was just leaving and these 2 girls were running from the shop with those green baskets filled with good and i just thought, Hey.. There aint no plastic bags around that stuff.. Thats been nicked, And with that, 2 Countdown staff came running out after them.. So i chased these 2 girls in my car.. They went down an alleyway and i knew the area pretty well then they came out the other side, To which i was waiting with my car. They jumped the fence and bolted off through the RSA and round the corner and jumped the fence in KFC.. Now that fence doesnt allow you to get anywhere else.. So i was on the phone to the police the whole time..

Sad thing is, the girl was about 17 and when she was by my window, She said.. who do you think you are? A cop or something.. I told her i was her worst nightmare...


Even more sad, I didnt even get a thank you from the Shop or Police...
