It's a bit of an epidemic at the moment. A couple of months ago we were without power for a day when thieves broke into the electricity sub-station that serves our area and did the same. Blimey, bit of a dangerous thing to go robbing.

Did you get compensated?

Glad you got sorted. Still don't get the mentality of people risking their lives for it though. Mental.

Get rich or die tryin'.

Good god man! It was a Friday night when the crime occurred apparently. I reckon the cops were busy in the city centre at the time. Perhaps stopping violent crime was their priority on the evening of the theft of cable from an empty RL ground. Hardly acceptable you say!

2 hours for a robbery is amazing. If i was my house it would have been 2 days.

I think he means 'in general' it's poor that the Police take so long. In an ideal world the Police would be readily available in abundance, any day of the week. I've reported someone breaking into a car - Police didn't come, on the flipside, I pulled into a service station to phone the police about a car driving very strangely at 2am, I was told on the phone "Units have been dispatched, thank you for your call", at which point several policemen came running from the service area and into unmarked Police cars and sped off, Great isn't it that while we wait 2 days for an officer to come and take a statement of a burglary, the local traffic police are all sat at Ferrybridge playing GoFish.

OMG are you a grown up?

You need to grow up as well pal. A threat to life is high priority.. A drunk driver will kill. A drunken male beating his wife or three 17 year old males kicking an 18 year old male half to death. Some theiving git nicking cable is low priority on a Friday night even if it occurs at the Mighty Craven Park.

Oh shut up, who took the jam outta your dohnut? (copper joke, gerrit?) before taking my previous post personal, why don't you read the opening line again, 'in an ideal world', police [iwould[/i be available 24/7 for any incident, we'll never get close to that all the time a large amount of funds are spent on high powered police cars and well paid drivers to sit in them, paying the local plod to stand with a speed gun isn't exactly stopping domestic violent either, is it? Jump off your self indulgent horse PC Monko, make sure your gatso is charged for tomorrow, funtime Friday innit.

stop it

Two hours is very good to be fair at the moment people who are bin assaulted it's taking up to two days for a visit or a statement to be done, a lot of police have bin taken to sort the riots I blame the government for the cut backs and feel sorry for the police at the minute

Rovers will have to think about securing the new wiring in better than it was, cos with all the goverment cutbacks coming in, response times will only get longer, IF they even bother coming out to burglaries anymore.
