    Hi. Yesterday my friend riding to work at 3am in Newhaven, East Sussex was hijacked and his new Honda 250 CRF stolen by 6 ‘bikers’ (some on mopeds) close to his workplace. Absolutely shocking. Police response seems to be the equivalent of a shrug of the shoulders. Be careful out there, I’m certainly working out in my mind what I would do in this situation as a contingency.

    F***ers

    Like every member on here this makes my blood boil, feckless arsehole who neither have the brains or morals to work, taking the hard earned possessions of those who do.

    Until these c**nts get any kind of meaningful custodial sentence it wont stop.

    We had two locals who robbed, rampaged, endangered life and were surprisingly caught by plod only to receive 9 months suspended sentence, and a two year ban on driving licenses they don't have? estimated financial cost to the victims and society of their bit of fun was £45,000, emotional cost unknown. If it were up to the police they would be banged up, it's the mamby pamby judges who insult us by dishing out pointless penalties. My best pal is a senior police officer and tells me his officers are so de-motivated at the sentencing, more often than not they don't bother to pursue these thugs, and the thugs know it.

    The way this is going this may be the only solution, albeit in you case you'll need to let one live.

    End of rant, and breath, sorry to hear this.

    Too true. But the length of sentences is no deterrent either. It's the likelihood of being caught that deters any crime. It's all too easy to blame the local plod, but they can't be on every street corner waiting just in case

    Just unfortunate they are on every street corner waiting to catch you for the slightest motoring indiscretion;)

    Seriously doubt that friend, figures just released show that the number of police officers is at its lowest for 20 years and the crime figures up by large percentages ( no shit Sherlock) if you’ve got cops on every street corner I’m moving house. :rolleyes:

    Right one more response then I'm shutting up as I'm an opinionated (often wrong) arse the best of times.

    The Met are forced to close down 37 police stations, leaving just 1 in each borough thats open 24 hours, meaning a local scroat will be taken on a 45 minute ride to the only open station to be banged up, tying up the few coppers in the process. And we continue to give £13B each year in foreign aid, and spending £50B on a train line to get me to Birmingham 28 minutes quicker.

    I'm all for helping poverty stricken countries but many are far from poverty stricken and some have better GDP than us, go figure, also I've been to Birmingham and cant see why anyone would want to get there 28 minutes quicker, (joking Brummies) I'm not.

    When will these bonehead politicians realise all us tax payers want is good healthcare, good education, safe streets and care for the elderly, maybe we need a Trump like don't give a shit leader, our choice; a weak, trying to please everyone, position changing Mrs Doubtfire or Corbin, a pussy faced weasel with less balls than my ball-less dog (Finn). Maybe we should give Hilary citizenship, and the PM job, old Bill can shag his way round parliament for a bit of fun.

    Time for me to have a hard talk with Mr Jack Daniels esquire and his brain numbing elixir.

    Have a happy weekend, Repooh out
