First of all friends,5% of Burglaries are cleared up.
In my day,every burglary was visited and investigated.
Why is the question.
Some ideas of mine...
Too many burglars walking the streets. Why is this
That's basic stuff.
Why are the Courts so reluctant to jail burglars as they should
It could be your daughter,wife or mother that one day faces some chap in a balaclava wielding a weapon.
We do not protect out children in this country nor do we our property. Why is this ? We are talking Man's basic human right to go about one's business in peace

He's right though. Phone the police these days and they practically tell you to gather the evidence for them. i don't blame the police on the front line, it's their bosses and the politicians.
Today a policeman isn't a figure of authority, they are outreach workers as much as anything.
In my current job I have the great pleasure of having to deal with gangs of unruly teens and drug addicts, none of them worry about the police being called, there is no respect for authority. There's not enough front line officers either. | | | |

Turns my stomach to see senior police officers behaving a they do. It's bad enough in Police programmes serving police officers refering to cum as Sir or worse,Mate. This is a direct result of successive governments being soft on crime.I say soft ;its actually negligence.
Like the police or not,you are all at risk out there and we all need to ask why.
Having read Keiths post,this is the last contribution from me | |

I heard this week, if the street lights are turned off between midnight & 7am, car crime drops by 50% | |

Pitiful really.
This is a national disgrace but we simply are too dumb to see it.
The Home is sacrosanct or at least it should be.
Why do Police not treat this seriously, and they do not ,or at least if it's not a confrontational burglary or an aggravated one. It is down to statistics. It's often hard to track burglars if they are any "good" and Stats are what area Commanders get boned about at every monthly meeting with ACPO meetings. Police bosses only really interested in the issues that affects their careers and their rise through the ranks. The fact LGBT+ features so heavily is evidence of just how warped the Police Force -sorry Service-has become. | |

The problem is, the police need actual evidence before they can prosecute.That has always been the case.They can't just take the householders word and go out and arrest some likely suspect, they won't get a conviction.
I do agree about courts being too lenient though.I read somewhere that long sentences are not a deterrent, but short frequent sentences do more as they interrupt the burglars livelihood | | | |

I had the personal misfortune to have seen the post crime scene of a notorious 'career burglar' whose M.O was daylight creeper burglaries. He would cycle to every burglary on a bicycle and would go for small items PlayStations, Gameboys, jewelry, money etc to stash in his backpack.
Gorseinon CID decided to take a pro-active/dynamic approach and went 'covert/undercover' and started to follow him to his intended target. There he was caught and arrested! It was common sense policing that stopped this one man crimewave in his tracks. Burglaries plummeted!
You see burglars (many have!) with distinctive/predictable criminal behaviour and a drug habit to feed are rather easy to catch when the right type of policing is used.
This 'drug-crazed' burglar was not the type of person you would want in your house. He used to take a Stanley knife to every burglary and would use it to cut leads off electrical equipment to facilitate speed in and out of the crime scene. Takes less time untangling/unplugging leads from behind a TV cabinet.
Anyhow that aforementioned Stanley knife? He made BBC news headlines in 2007 with that item when he slit the throat of another families beloved pet. Not the type of person you would want anywhere near to your house! *Tip of the day* i.e. always keep windows shut when not in the house and remember that daylight is no deterrent to some! |  |

Many would want to! IMO the 'psychological' aspect of someone having their home intruded upon, is in many cases actually worse than the loss of personal items and money.
Some idiots glamorizse career criminals as being benign "Jack the lad" types but these people have obviously never had their own house broken into, or sat back and thought of what the traumatised victims actually think about it! | |

Absolutely
Years ago,I ran a Burglary team on the Wirral ,which had a shocking problem.. mansions ,maisonettes ,private or council.
One burglary is rather like a locust. If they are on the streets including being on bail or parole, they will be at it .
It can be a good living especially if you avoid the drugs
One of the best moments of my life was going to a B E now and finding the householder had managed to somehow find a burglary unconscious with a broken neck on the property as the other side of the fence was concrete not grass . He d fallen head first onto concrete . I laughed my farming head off whist phoning for ambulance which the owner failed to do. | |
