STEALING in the Outback..

Please- please- please- if you see someone doing the wrong things on your travels, take a rego number and REPORT IT TO THE COPS!!!!

...................................................................

I agree with you whole heartedly wombat100 but you really do wonder about this country sometimes, even when you report a crime to the police......

About 18 months ago, whilst living in an outer eastern suburb of Melbourne, I disturbed a couple of thieves who were in the process of stealing a motorcycle of mine from our driveway. When disturbed they dumped the bike off the rear of their ute and took off. It was night but I still got a good description of the two plus I managed to get the vehicle's rego.

Well, when I went to report it to the police the officer's only concern was whether the bike was insured or not. The bike was later written off because of the damaged sustained and yes fortunately it was insured. The officer said, well that's all right then and just left it at that. He DID NOT want the vehicle's rego or description of the offenders. Does that somewhere come under aiding and abeting criminals?

In the same area many years ago I worked side by side with a guy who had a serious drug problem. I came to know him quite well over the years and one day I simply asked him what would he do if he could not get drugs from his usual sources? He said with a straight face and with total sincerity, "easy..just contact your local police, they control all the drugs in this area".

Let's face it people this country is f*&$%ed.

Authorities see us as the enemy and the crims run amok.

in the meantime happy travels,

This is the way I see it. People bitch and moan that the roads are too rough in remote areas and damage their vehicle. The councel have to upgrade the roads to prevent being sued. This allows low life scum to easily access the remoter areas. The media cover more areas now so people sitting at home see farms with all this stuff just sitting out in the open for easy picking. I think it is going to get a lot worse to.
