| 357134 | 2005-05-21 00:42:00 | www.stuff.co.nz "17,821 clearances represented just 0.9 per cent of solved crimes." in 10 years. That means that they were nearly 2 million crimes solved (how many were unsolved) in 10 years. That means nearly every household was a victim of crime in the last 10 years. And I thought NZ was a safe country. PS: Deep down I think most of these crimes solved are "Speed Camera" crimes. ;) |

| 357135 | 2005-05-21 06:17:00 | Fair comment and staggering statistics. Whenever you next hear the phrase 'reported crime is down' remember that a great number of victims cannot be bothered reporting a crime and oftentimes the police take too long to respond to crimes that are reported. If they can't take the calls on 111 or discourage a crime from being reported then of course reported crime is down! [/vent] Andrew |

Put up big walls,locks on every door/window,chuck in a alarm system. Thats a home/prison now,just got to add a drawbridge,moot and its a castle. And dont forget the barbwire/glass on the top of the walls. And the big dog patrolling the grounds. And then for the person they either learn a martial art/boxing,or carry a conceled weapon like I know a couple of friends do. |

Or Communist influences. Or Liberalism. Who knows. However the Police are simply the ordinary folk we employ to try and control crime. And the negative publicity they are getting lately just makes them more disillusioned. I don't envy them their work. Crime control begins in the home. Act honestly and teach your children honesty. It is actually quite hard because other people will say this is for suckers. Nevertheless this is the way it needs to be. |

| 357139 | 2005-05-21 12:37:00 | I would say things were pretty lawless 100 off years ago, Rape and pillage being something of a worldwide pasttime, then we have 2 world wide wars, and 20 years of stunned silence, now the population is starting to slip back to its natural shape.... I know some bad bad people, that have excellent honest parents. |

| 357140 | 2005-05-21 12:41:00 | Well, just from personal experience... EVERY friend of mine has some tale about crime.... Some personal experience... Serious ones would be house burglary, snatching of valuable items, and minor ones would be cars being broken into..... Who hasn't heard anything from their friends about someone's car being broken into or stolen??? (Probably applies to the city dwellers) |

| 357141 | 2005-05-21 12:51:00 | My wifes car has been broken into 3 times in the last 2 years, I have had numerous cars broken into,had 1 stolen outright,and have lived in 3 homes that were burgled.... At one stage my old boys company premisies was getting hit every single weekend, and in a seperate effort they realised that every single tool in the workshop had disapeared over the course of a year.....Probally 25 grands worth... And I won't even mention the disgusting responce from the policy when these issues were reported. |

Where was it parked - in your garage, while shopping, at her workplace? I am guessing that it would not be on your premises since (no BS, really) I would expect a techie of your magnitude would have surveilance cameras set up. And why did they break in - did she leave her purse or something else enticing on the seat, or a hot :p sound system that you installed for her? BTW, I am always telling my wife to put valuables in the boot and to lock the car; occasionally she does... :groan: |
