    Yeh, someone broke into my van a few years back and nicked a very cheap CD player and I got loads of bumf offering me trauma counselling and victim support.

    One would say daft etc but I suppose having someone assess every crime to see if it merits such support would cost a lot more than just sending out a letter anyway.

      Hope all is okay but thats the state of the UK today, sad ain't it?

          Sorry to hear that. They will be back (or their mates) in a few weeks after you have replaced the goods.
          Sad to say but this is probably true. Crimmie types not only stick to an MO that they perceive as successful; they also prefer to revisit past "successes" as they think they know the layout of the land. Investment in security devices is probably well advised.

          I fear also that crime's due to take off again. A lot of folk are losing jobs, or losing any chance of getting a decent job. If the alleged "crackdown" on doleys takes place, we're going to see a lot more toe-rags chance their arm at "wealth redistribution."

            Sorry to here that oracleslave.

            Personally if I had my way anyone caught breaking into someones home should be forced to live in a field for 2 months, if they cannot respect someones home they should not have one of their own.

                Do you have a link to prove I said that?

                  It's not worth catching them because they will only get a caution. I was reading last week that there are 7 support services for criminals for every one for victims. Well done HMG, because it's obvious that criminals need help more than their 'wealthier' victims.

                    Oh man you must be pissed! Where do you live?

                    Pointless catching them for the Police - this country is a total joke on giving out punishment. Best thing is to get in there and pound the f__k out of them ensuring any strikes are not on the back of the body and claim Self Defence. The only good think about this country over the past 5 years is the opinion on defending yourself in your own house within reason.

                    God forbid any c-unit that enters my house with me in their.
