We arrested a bag thief today. He tried his luck whilst some unsuspecting member of the public was drinking her coffee in one of the well known coffee drinking establishments on our patch.
He was caught by an eagle eyed member of the public who alerted us as we passed and after a bit of a struggle, he was arrested.
Due to his previous for countless bag thefts and the exact nature of this arrest, we were authorised to carry out a section 18 search of his flat.
Upon arriving at the filthy clutter ridden hovel we were greeted by the tell tale signs of previous forced entries by past colleagues.
Searching through the rooms, my colleague shouts
"Here take a look at this!"
He hands me an envelope, inside it was a letter with the familiar "Metropolitan Police" blue logo.
"We are sorry to hear that you have been a victim of theft namely £250" it read
I had to read that again:
"We are sorry to hear that you have been a victim of THEFT!"
The thieving sod had even had the cheek to request Victim Support!
Awww the poor little darling!
He must have been heart broken!
The laptops, cameras, purses, handbags, suitcases he's stolen in the past has in no doubt left his victims gutted.
Now he's has a taste of what it feels like yet he still continues!
I wonder if he gave one minutes thought to the fact that this is EXACTLY how he's made his victims feel in the past and again today?!
.....Probably not

Dare I say it, but you do realise that he more than likely reported that so called theft to get an emergency advance on benefit payments whilst he drank, smoked or injected the 'missing' cash. *sigh*
I hear you on that one! :)
