Thread: Rifles stolen

Savage 1 - makes perfect sense in what he said,all tracks lead to the exact location of the stolen gear,everything else undisturbed.
Time to get those so called flat mates into the room.

I know how much that sucks. Had three rifles stolen a while back. It was my fault, and I'm still pissed at myself to this day - it isn't a nice feeling knowing that gang members could have my rifle thanks to me.

Lost my license for a few months, ended up getting it back after doing the test again, but I suspect the police just wanted to shut me up because they messed up big time, got the records mixed up, and put me down on record as losing my license due to "concerns about my mental or emotional well-being".

Didnt see this thread so just started another one (whoops)
have added in the serial numbers

Wanna bet? I know of two separate thefts where the police took 4 days to come to one incident, the other they didn't even show up and just sent him an incident report for the insurance

Certainly I believe that for general burglar Pointer but I would have thought that the fire arms element would have piqued their interest in follow up to collect prints, DNA etc as the offenders would likely be on record.

Between these two robberies would have been 15 guns?

I have had a car and a jet ski stolen.
When the ski was stolen and i rung the cops i was asked if it was insured, it wasn't. So they never even came to look at the crime seen as they only had me to answer to not a multi million dollar insurance company.
When my car was stolen and used in a armed robbery 2 Ds and four uniforms turned up for a full search of the flat before i even knew the car was missing.

Apparently they turned up very smartly to this incident .

In regards to Police not attending some burglaries, I don't think many realise how much volume of dishonesty crime is out there, how long it takes to investigate and how few officers there are. If there are no leads or areas where viable prints may be lifted then there is no reason to attend the scene so a report is taken over the phone.

In my town it is frontline staff that attend burglaries which some can't be attended during the day normally as most people are at work which just leaves late shifts for them. And because the frontline staff are responders, all it takes is any domestics, armed incident, disorders, shoplifters, pursuit etc to overtake any burglaries they would have attended put on top of that any prevention work and enquires they have to make. Burglaries are very hard to solve to top it off. I bet if there was twice as many frontline Police they would still be busy.

Ring your local station and ask how many General Duties 1st response Officers are on duty on the street covering your city at any one time, something like 1 Officer to every 5000 head of population. It sucks but that's what has happened in our current financial climate.

Pull a few off traffic.

But of course traffic makes for easy targets, which makes it easy to keep the stats looking good for the bureaucrats upstairs...

Traffic makes for easy targets because dumb people keep handing over their hard earned money in fines because of basic stuff of speeding/rego/WOF's, etc.

It's shooting fish in a barrel
