Last Thurday morning at 5am my neighbour a few doors down from me was woken at 5am by his dog which was barking like crazy. He looks out of his bedroom window and discovers some blighter stripping the lead off his garage roof. Instead of keeping quiet and phoning the cops he opened the window and frightened the bleeder who rode off on a bicycle with a load of lead.
He phoned the cops to report it and he was given a crime number and was told a crime scene examiner would be visiting his house to see if there was any forensic evidence. A week has passed and still nobody has turned up. Perhaps GMP have a backlog ? Personally, I blame the cutbacks.
That's harder police work though innit. Having the perpetrator filmed whilst committing the crime is an easy nick for 'em, just find out who they are and pop round for a quiet word, jobs a goodun.
