Police Start Stealing

Here’s an interesting news story over on BBC News, it seems the Police are not getting paid enough because they have all started stealing from cars!  That’s not technically correct but it is kind of true. The story says that a new police tactic is to remove valuable items left in unlocked cars and leave the owner a note saying that they can pick them up from the station. I can see why they would do this, because getting something nicked by the police and being able to get it back is certainly a lot better than it being properly stolen. However even if a car is open it is wrong for them to take your stuff and how do we know if the police are respecting the owners privacy if the stolen goods are a laptop or address book etc. The police are opening themselves up for a lot of complaints and to be honest the police don’t need any more complaints than they have already.

I’m not sure if I personally like the idea or not, but then again I dont think it really matters to me, I’m not stupid enough to leave my car unlocked with valuables in. In fact I think the owners should be taught a lesson and the police should take there stuff and give it to charity
