What a dreadful story – you have to read this

The police are too busy facing down elderly ladies and their Yorkshire terriers, who refuse to get out of the water when ordered to do so by a contingent of four officers.

Another Police Board inquiry for the Commissioner of Police?
“Among other things, David Pace recounts that the police insisted on receipts for the stolen goods, including items which had been bought well over a decade ago, adding that many would have recognised the tools his father used. At one point, the police inspector told David Pace that it was “best not to add more things” to the list.”
Typical… My experience is similar whenever you need the police, instead of finding persons who are there to help and reassure you you find people who are thinking of ways of how to get rid of you and your issue with the least work possible.
Can’t believe the police response to this, and the refusal of the neighbour to co operate. A couple of years ago, a car was slighted hit, and dented, just outside my office window. The owner came to the office to see if I could find some footage from the cctv cameras installed outside the office, so I called the company who had provided us with, and installed the cctv system, to ask if they could help. They said they could, at a fee of Euro 70. Naturally, I told the owner of the car about this, who immediately slammed the phone down as I was explaining what I was told. On the same day, a policeman called at the office asking why I had requested a charge in order to provide evidence….I explained that this was NOT the case…but I couldn’t be expected to foot a bill of Euro 70 to provide evidence for somebody else’s dented car. So, another policeman (and a very nice and polite one, I must say) was sent to my office to take the tape from the cctv. This was scrutenized by the police at no cost to me; and the owner of the car, who works in an office close to mine, still doesn’t even acknowledge me whenever we pass each other on the street. So why a neighbour can decide not to provide evidence for such a serious incident as this of Nenu Pace really baffles me……
All’s well that ends well … kind of – http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20130818/local/missing-qrendi-man-found.482635
