[QUOTE="OnOff, post: 255674, member: 16173"] Just love the new radio ads down here about 999 being reserved for "emergencies". If your van gets broken into you now dial "101". This from the Met's site: [B]You can call 101 to report a crime that has already happened, seek crime prevention advice or make us aware of any policing issues in your local area.[/B] [B]For example:[/B] [B]if your car, bicycle or mobile phone have been stolen[/B] [B]if your garden shed has been broken into[/B] [B]if your property has been damaged[/B] [B]if you want to report a minor traffic collision, or[/B] [B]if you want to provide the police with information about a crime in your area.[/B] [B]Using 101 for situations, that do not require an immediate police response (such as those outlined above) helps keep 999 available for when there is an emergency.[/B] [B]Call 999 in an emergency is when a crime is happening, someone suspected of a crime is nearby, or if someone is injured, being threatened or in danger.[/B] No wonder this country is in trouble! I remember when a crime was a crime. Now we have the above designated as "low level" crime etc. So the scumbags can break into your shed / van and nick your tools (that you use to work and pay taxes) and no doubt as it's a low level crime the punishment will be accordingly low level!
