Your right it happens like that I had my car radio stole off my drive an age ago when I was fit and younger the dog barked like mad seen him at it pursued him with a neighbor 3am in the morning he turned on us with a screw driver jumped in his car sped of lights out Deffo only one guy police came reported it etcI'm really liking it too, but the one thing that always annoys me is how the cops never, ever consider any other suspects once they've got their prime suspect, even when there's massive doubts over their likely guilt. I'm sure cops and judges are under pressure to knock off the cases quick smart, but it just bothers me that the pursuit of justice rarely seems to be focus for the police.
As I say, this may actually reflect reality far more than I'd like to believe.
2 years later got a phone call from Manchester police to say they had three guys who admitted stealing my car radio I argued no it was just one guy description given etc in my statement waste of time police pinned it on the three of them plea bargaining may be to clear crime figures up??.?
It was miles away from where I lived at the time the local police indicated they knew who the guy was it was just a case of capturing him ?
