Where were the police?

A newspaper report tells us that a woman has been convicted for having ten children in her car.

She was collecting her small daughter from a party when a gang of thugs attacked them and the little girl’s friends. The woman dragged all the kids into the car and drove away from the thugs. The police stopped her and charged her with overloading the car. This happened 600 yards from where the incident occurred.

Why on earth did the police not rescue her and the kids from the gang instead of waiting safely to arrest her?

Plane Theft

My wife had her mobile phone and camera stolen from her hold luggage on a journey from Lanzarote to Glasgow yesterday. She was complying with the restrictions on hand luggage like a good citizen. It begs the question what is the point of security in the cabin when the luggage in the hold is so vulnerable. Baggage handlers can hardly have been security checked if some in their midst are criminals.

The mobile phone company have been very good after interminable waits for attention, but they admitted to a huge increase in thefts of mobile phones from planes since the recent bomb scare.
