The police and society in general are fooked up big time....
This is kinda funny, but just show's you how police are driven by targets and easy results & how are society is f*****d and has it's priorities mixed up!
My next door neighbour was burgled. She called the police who took 3 days to visit, didn't bother with SoCo and reckoned there'd be no chance of a conviction if they caught anyone anyway.
We don't have driveways, so park our cars on the road and both have to use the same path to get to the road. Yesterday we happened to leave the house at the same time and as we got to the road, I spotted a bumch of shop-wrapped flowers across the kerb - it looked as if someone had dropped them out their bag on the way back home to the estate that is separated from the CoOp by our row of houses.
I told my neighbour that it'd be a waste to leave them there, take them indoors and shove them in water. Being old-school, she said no and stood them against the wall so whoever lost them would have a chance to find them, but did say that if they were still there when she got home from work, then she'd have them. Fair enough and off to work we toddle.
When I got home, there wasn't one bunch of flowers anymore. Oh no. There were around 12 with cards saying such things as 'With deepest sympathy' and 'With deepest regret'. There was also two burly coppers and my neighbour deeply engrossed in a rather vociferous discussion.
Sully eejets in my village thought that the original bunch was because of an accident which resulted in a painful death and added their own. My neighbour came home and, rather bemusedly, took her bunch in and was on the phone to her vicar seeing if he wanted some flowers for the church when an area car - not a panda - an area car, screamed up lights and sirens blaring and ran - not wallked - ran to her door (she was watching out the kitchen window as all this happened, telling the Reverend Simon all about it) hammered on it, when there is a perfectly reasonable knocker and door-bell, and demanded that she 'open up it's the police'.
She ended her phone call, opened the door and was in mid argument when I returned home. I explained to the peelers what happened this morning and, one swift call to the vicar later, the officers left mightily embarassed.
Turns out a passer-by saw my neighbour take the flowers, saw her go into her house and so reported her.
Now am I being cynical or did the police scream round cos they thought this would be a slam dunk criminal tick for their quota and the burglary wasn't a solvable crime so shush don't make a fuss dear?
