last monday we were out for the evening when my friend said she needed to get some money from the hole in the wall did i wanna come with her so off we toddled (it was just after 11pm at the time) we got to the door of the bank and about 15-20ft in front of us came a clattering and something falling from inside the cash point. We went to look only to find a long strip of hard plastice that was stil sticky with a mobile phone wedged in far enough so that just the camera was out and had obviously been filming peeps putting pins in..told plod who were actually dealing with someone just up the road and when an officer came next day to take my statement he tells me that a member of public had phoned in about 2 HOURS before to report it!:eek: I said how many people did it film in that time and he said well it doesnt matter now does it but i said thats not the point,, you should have sent someone straight away to get it:mad:
I said do you tell the banks that they have had this and his reply was nah they dont care:mellow:..unbelievable!

lol yeah i meant to put if it in the wrong place then do move,,thanx Matthew..I posted it because I was disgusted by the blase attitude of the police in certain situations, I mean he said someone had phoned in and reported it a lot earler in the evening yet they didnt go get it so whoever it belonged to could have come and took it away and lord knows how many people would be out of pocket..it infuriated me is all
