Cleaned out in Palmy

**badassbandit** · 20th June 2010, 12:15

I’m in Hokowhitu backing onto a school.

It looks like they just kicked the fence down and dragged everything through the school.

If i could get anything back I would really like it to be the bike. It’s had a lot of work put into it and probably won’t be worth anywhere near as much to them as it was to me.

Cheers for the replies,
John

Just a warning, of heard of lots of cases where the crims come back a week or two later - because they know they'll now have brand new stuff to steal.

Ans these crims sound gutsy like that.

Yeah, of course.

One is an event that is happening with a possible threat to life, the other has happened and no current threat exists.

bollocks, more people get fucked over by thieving fucks than they do from speeders, aren't you guys sposed to stop both? oh that right, you only get financial returns from one of them.

**red mermaid** · 20th June 2010, 16:15

Its not a speeding driver, it is a pursuit and there is a clear threat to public safety.

Where is the threat to public safety in a burglary that has happened?

It will get attended just not now.

**Wannabiker** · 20th June 2010, 16:19

...or one will result in an easy conviction with an already pre-determined outcome (fine, loss of licence) and another one on the tally towards the traffic "contacts" or is it "outcomes" .

The other requires some effort, no "thrill of the chase" and if by some chance, the offender is caught, even more work bring the offender to court, for what will at worst be a slap on the wrist. (which must be qiute soul destroying for the prosecuting officer)

surely three cars would be enough for a pursuit, leaving one to attend the burglary. I mean if the speeds are so dangerous you would want less cars traveling at that speed anyway right?

You might be lucky enough to have 3 cars working in Palmy, and one could be tied up in some other job, like locking up kids who steal 'McGiffert St' signs.

**Wannabiker** · 20th June 2010, 16:28

if he wasn't being chased, there would be far less threat to public safety.... he would simply be a speeding driver.... Now using the scenario above there are 4 speeding vehicles...with the front one going even faster to avoid the following 3.....

christ in Upper Hutt a simple fender bender at an intersection gets a 6 car response...perhaps they are racing to get to write the ticket first?? Still a 2 day response for burgulary and a 6 day response when the car yard NEXT TO THE POLICE STATION was burgled!!!

that doesn't even make sense, 3-1 is still 2, and as wannabike says, perhaps a big pursuit causes more danger than it avoids.

There's a few showing their ignorance in some of the above posts....nothing like knowing the smallest smidgeon about a job to make a person an expert on 'they shoulda...'

Thats a bit harsh init, we realise the police training probly isn't up to scratch, but even red mermaid's knowledge has got to be more than a smidgeon.
