My own experience of this is about a month ago I was camped at the back of a hungry jacks where two people tried to steal the mountain bike from off the rack at the rear of my van. They quickly left when I got out with a pick axe handle. Did I call the police? NO waste of time. They wouldn’t have even filled out a report unless insurance was involved. They were probably on camera too. No one calls the police anymore because its a waste of time unless money is made from a response. several hours later after moving the van another attempt was made. I now have multiple locking systems on my bike. The problem is police no longer police. people get away with it even in court. With a hoodie on even if they know the suspect they cant prove it in court without dna or footage. Witnesses no longer count
