Spate of thefts from cars in Springhead & Lees
Drivers are being warned to remove sat navs from their vehicles after a spate of sat navs being stolen from cars in Springhead & Lees.
PCSO Mike Lowther said: “Please remove your sat nav when you park your car up.”
Sadly all too typical response from the police.
Blame the victims.
No police, Catch the scum and lock them up. They won’t be able to steal from us when they are in prison.
Or is that even too obvious even for the police?
Better to not leave valuables on show to steal in the first place?
I didn’t follow that advice and my sat nav was stolen. The police DID catch the person responsible AND he spent time in prison for it.
George
how simple. Why didn’t everyone else think of that? Then again, common sense and taking responsibility are so difficult.
Tell you what George, don’t bother with the police advice just leave your sat nav and any valuables, especially a hefty wad of bank notes, on show in your car. And while you’re at it, leave your car unlocked and better still leave your house unlocked and the windows open when it is unoccupied. Then of course after the inevitable happens blame the police for their typical response of not having an officer on every street corner and every car park throughout Oldham 24 hours a day.
