Re car theft. In all western countries we hand responsibility for crime prevention/detection to the police. If you have your car stolen in the UK the police have absolutely no interest whatsoever. You have to go the police station and they just give you a crime number to hand to your insurer - thats all, nothing else. Now, your car could be worth as much as Becks (£60,000 or so) but thats all you'll get. Try to rob a bank and it will be surrounded by armed police, even if the sum involved is £1,000 or less. Police will now do absolutely nothing at all about an accepted range of criminal activity AND that list of 'do nothing about it' crimes is growing monthly. We have reached the stage where the police service is just a career in which you can retire early, receive a good salary and benefits whilst employed and screw the general public with totally bogus crime figures. Wonder why confidence in the police is falling?
