Bike thefts at stations 'decriminalised' (www.bbc.co.uk)

My lad's bike was stolen from a train station a few months back. He'd left it there while he was at work. He works for longer than an hour a day, like many others.

This was the BTP's response, so it's kind of mad to see that it's actual policy now.

Really makes you glad to pay the old national insurance and council tax, y'know?

"Our experience tells us at an early stage that there are some crimes that are unlikely to ever be solved – such as those without a clear estimate of time or location for the incident or if there is a lack of CCTV or witnesses.

"The more time our officers spend reviewing CCTV footage for these offences, the less time they have available for patrolling railway stations and trains, investigating crimes which cause the most harm and providing a visible presence across the network."

Well which is it, a lack of CCTV footage or a lack of time/police resources? They seem to flipping back and forth between these 2 excuses, even when camera evidence is available.
