OK I've got to bite at:
"Investigating theft of £3k bikes going missing from outside the O's Mess"
Well when my £600 bike went missing from outside the Mess, this was the RAFP response:
"Was the bike locked sir?"
"Nope"
"In that case we can't investigate it as a crime, just put it in the lost property book."
"Riiiight"
"And if your insurance company contact us, we will have to inform them that it wasn't locked".
Thanks a bunch guys, glad I called! This was a week after a warning/bollocking for speeding (39 in a dead straight, empty, unpopulated 30, coming out of a 40).
However, being at BAS at the moment, I have to defend the great job they're doing out here. They are just pointless at home!
