What works for our trembling mutt is to put his bed by the tumble dryer and dry the laundry. He seems to find the white noise soothing.Macronate said:10:29pm as I type this, f******* fireworks still going off, scaring the shit out of our dog.
I hate fireworks mainly because they drag on for about three effing weeks.3 -
I recall a cocky young copper back in the late 70s telling me, "We (The Metropolitan Police) no longer consider car damage as a police matter. We issue a crime number and it is for you to sort out with the insurance company".ForeverAddickted said:
Doesnt look like it, as was parked up in a Woodland Car Park, I've submitted a Crime Report with the police to see if that gets me anywhere.Covered End said:
I don't know that area, but are there any cameras available?ForeverAddickted said:Just had three days up in the Lake District.
Got back to my car, parked along from Rydal Water around midday today, and find someone had hit my car with a nasty bit of damage, and no note left!!
Car park, Ring door bells etc?
Imagine as well with the area so sparsely populated, that CCTV isnt potentially as common as other areas of the country.
It seems to me the police are now using the same policy for burglary.0 -
Don't think that's quite fair. We had an attempted burglary a little while back. At 8pm when we were out. Our neighbour confronted him so he didn't get in despite having managed to open the front window. Nothing taken but the police were very thorough. Came and took CCTV footage from multiple neighbours, he had dropped a rucksack on our drive when scared off and they kept that as evidence and took a victim impact statement from us. They never found the guy but they certainly investigated. And that was with nothing stolen.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Which is exactly what they should do for people reporting tweets.Raith_C_Chattonell said:

Police should issue a reference number and everyone get on with their lives but the crime has been reported0 -
Circumstantial, the police will have attended as the neighbour could help identify the burglar in the future and his bag will guve them evidence for future burglaries. If you had come back to find your house had been burgled and called them I promise they woild have just issued a crime number.cantersaddick said:

Unless the burglar had a tragic accident of misadventure where he had slipped, fallen and landed on a set of Japanese kitchen knives stabbing himself several times in the process and dying in the hallway1 -
Phone calls from large organisations (sadly often our public services) where the call is often later than scheduled, not left ringing for long enough to pick the phone up and from a 'private number' so you can't call back the second you've missed it. Then have to wait for it to be rescheduled.1

People who accept a lift from you and then... 1. Initiate a discussion about your chosen route; feel free to impart any latest traffic info, but the driver decides the route - always. 2. Unilaterally opens the window, especially when they are then oblivious to the resulting airflow judder. 3. Talks over the radio, somehow deliberately doing so over the most interesting bits.0

Often it registered at their end as the call being made. So they’ve done their job and the person making the call doesn’t want to have a conversation.Stig said:Phone calls from large organisations (sadly often our public services) where the call is often later than scheduled, not left ringing for long enough to pick the phone up and from a 'private number' so you can't call back the second you've missed it.
