BAST-AR-RIOS !Talk about knockin' a bloke when he's down, looks like I'm gonna have to pay for the vehicle recovery that the nice policeman organised
One Hundred and Fifty smackeroonies ! or they will crush it.
Now don't get me wrong, if the bike had been found 10 or 20 miles away I'd have payed it and thanked 'em accordingly.
However, the recovery guys were 15 miles from the bike and I am just over 1 mile away. I could have been there a lot sooner than them, and the police wouldn't have been hanging around waiting for the recovery. So why on earth did PC Young choose to phone the recovery guys up instead of me ?
And take the bike 15 miles further away from my house, further adding to my recovery costs ?
Gonna see what my insurance company has to say regarding the costs, after I've confirmed wether or not there will be a charge.
Forensics have stolen vehicles at/near the bottom of their list o priorities so I might have a few more days yet before they get around to doin it.
Good news is the bike's got a roof over it......big fookin' WOW !
Somebody get me off this fookin island ! What the fook am I paying the fookin' police for exactly ? So they can make victims of crime suffer even more ?
Go figure !
Steady on there, this p*sses me right off. My brother is persuing the police over the same issue.
His bike was stolen and moved 15M down the road and they just recovered it and charged him the same.
But he is claiming the money back. Even though national policy allows them to recover any vehicle, the Independent police compaints say that this should not be a blancket rule, and efforts should be made to contact the owner of the vehicle before recovery is made. He has had to go throught police complaints procedure which takes a long time. But don't just accept it.
My dad got so angry with them he nearly lost his job as a police officer for threatening to go to press with there incompetence.
Good luck
PM if you need to know anymore
