I drive through Burgess Road on my way home from work and have seen first hand, scum from the flowers estate nick a laptop from the seat of someones car in broad daylight, 5.30pm in rush hour traffic

(It's a very busy road!) in the middle of last summer!!

Worst of all, I drove past as it happened and saw the three of them run accross the road behind me into the estate

(one of them on a bike).

As I approached the next set of traffic lights I saw a police van coming towards me so thought i'd lend a hand and go see where they run off too.

I drove into the estate watched them disappear into a house then drove back round to Burgess road to find the Police van.

Get this.

no word of a lie!!!

I pulled up on double yellows in front of the Police van which was parked directly opposite the victims car on the other side of the road.

The manager of the shop had seen the whole thing and was already talking to the cops.

I went up to the van and started to tell them that i'd followed the lads that smashed the car window, took what appeared to be a laptop and seen them go into a house nearby.

The friendly coppers told me that they had a good idea who the culprits were anyway from the description the shop manager had given and they couldn't do anything there and then because they were only there to catch speeding cars

(IN BLOODY RUSH HOUR!!!) and besides that, the owner of the stolen laptop wasn't there to report the crime!!!!!

Then I was asked to move my car from the double yellows because I was causing an obstruction?

They didn't even take my details as a witness.

Poor, very, very

'P' poor.

I was fuming, but I can't imagine what the victim must of felt.

Oh, and while i'm at it, my neighbour just 2 doors away was burgled last week, just found out today!! I'm going to buy myself a high powered water pistol, fill it with horse wee and shoot anyone that comes within 3 feet of my house!!

Now where'd I put that horse?
