Don't count on it. I had some very clear CCTV footage of a bloke on my premises, checking out my bikes (fiddling with the locks, ground anchors etc)

Initially, I was told that there was no offence, but when I advised them I was ex West Mercia Professional Standards, and Criminal Attempts Act 1981 specified that tampering with a vehicle is an offence they agreed it was in their interests to look into it further.

Through some investigation (I have friends in very low places) I then provided them with the name and address of the bloke concerned.

Months later, I finally got a call saying that they had arrested him, but during interview he denied everything and as they had lost the CCTV footage (despite me providing it on three occasions) had released him without charge.


Boy, that gives a lot of confidence in the system of law and order.


Here for a good time not a long time!!

They could be big sods! or even geriatric sods. Although jumping to conclusions is good exercise it does nothing to relieve the blood pressure!
Hope the stolen goods turn up - maybe ask around some of the local pubs.

I once worked for a manufacturer of CCTV Systems (in the days when digital PC based systems were new to the market). One of the sales team had a patter re taking copies of footage:
"You need to take at least three copies: one to keep, one for the police and one to replace the one the police lost"

On the plus side, when some local herberts broke in to head office and stole the reception PC, the footage led to a conviction - being a demo system, we had the resolution wound up to maximum and stinking great HDDs to make sure. Ours was quite a high end system too - used in prisons, large hotels and at least one landmark building in London.
