I'm all for supporting the work of the Air Ambulances and, indeed, it's a shame that they have to run as charities; however, the above part of your message that I quoted didn't happen and even if it had would you prefer that they let criminals go? Perhaps they should set a minima for how much someone has to have nicked before they send anybody at all, or perhaps a sliding scale:

Telly nicked = 1 policeman for 1 hour
Car nicked = 2 policemen
Posh car nicked = 2 policemen and a helicopter

I'm sure you'd love that, call 999 to report a stolen car only to be told it wasn't worth enough for anyone to bother and what about the other work that they do? How much is a missing child worth to you?

By all means urge support for the Air Ambulance but why rubbish the work of other people along the way?
