I have my own private crime wave

I figure your lucky if you DON'T catch them .... Police will do sweet FA if you get burgled ..... Beat the living **** out them ....... and they'll be there in a heartbeat so they can listen to how the poor (likely armed .. but not with firearms) group of young guys were attacked by a crazy person for no reason while they were helping themselves to the sheds contents :wasntme: :o

I figure the last thing I'll ever do is ring the police if I catch people breaking into my place (just like last time). They sure as hell don't come back for a second attempt 'cos they think the house owner is a bloody phsyco :woot: :blink: :wacko: :Rolling:

I dunno what the hell to do about all this crap going on lately. earlier this week on the way to work .... through the bush I find a car sitting in the middle of a firetrail .. drivers door open, engine running. I'm not real keen on getting out, but figure I should check no-one is hurt. So I switch the Rangie off, flick the fuel switch to "nothing" .. so it won't run and get out for a look (figuring a group of people could jump out of the bush wanting my car). But it was just left there running .. with a smashed igntion and door lock. I whipped out my multi-tool and found the file in it was big enough to switch it off... So I reported it to the police and kicked the drivers door closed with my shoe so I don't leave any prints anywhere (the cops here in Ballarat seem to print everything). I posted it on the local 4wd facebook and will be damned if I didn't find the owners so drove them out to the car to find the police there printing it.

Following day this ... the other side of town. Really, WTF is going on these days :(

They were lucky that was cops... If they'd picked most 4wd's like us .... We'd have squished 'em as they climbed out of the cars (well I would have ... I wonder if the crunch .. crunch of low range gears being grabbed would be a giveaway that were about to have some demo derbies about to happen ?).

Start there,,
lots of different types available,,

Cops are understaffed and overworked so they focus on major crime, which is understandable if you knew even half the crap they have to put up with every day.

It seems to me the "force" is more focused on solving crime than preventing crime. If the cops can't prevent it, then maybe they should stand back a little and let people protect them selves and their property.

I thought it was the police's responsibility to limit criminal activity, but seemingly not.


I guess when someone gets raped walking home from the train station at night after a long day at work, it's their fault too. :twisted:


Just make sure that when you take "actions" to limit criminal activity, that you don't injure the criminal, because the police will definitely take an interest in that!:censored:

If you walked into a police station to report you just witnessed a person known to you breaking into your car and stealing your property and you knew where this person lived the police would say there is nothing they can do unless they (police) actually catch the person in the act of stealing your property.
If you walked in with a professional quality Video of the crime, shot by the Pope and witnessed by 6 Nuns, they might get off their arses and do something.
Cops are not interested unless you do all of their work for them, Regards Frank.

We have a multi million dollar Police station in Rockingham Frank,only trouble is it's closed after 4.30 in the afternoon.I had to ring a number,get them to email a form full of questions to fill out and send it back.
Was the vehicle locked?
What was stolen?
On a scale from one to ten how bad is your stab wound?
Is the person stabbing you now. Pat
