I've followed this thread with a mixture of fascination and disbelief.
Heli-cal made the sort of comments I expect of him and left.
Helicraig You started with
..... their "playing the victim" in it is ever so slightly galling ....... if they can't look after their own helicopter it really doesn't bode well for the rest of us does it? At best its embarrassing, at worst its incompetent. I think it is probably somewhere between the two!
"playing the victim" in it is ever so slightly galling What on earth does that mean?

Are they not victims of crime even if (in your opinion) they could have done more to prevent it?
If they can't look after their own helicopter it really doesn't bode well for the rest of us does it? Was that meant to be a sensible comment or were you just trying to provoke a reaction?
You've since made several posts in similar vein.
Why is it so important to you to that others agree with you?
I have a grudge to bear against WMP
You may well have very good reason. Unfortunately, some police officers needlessly antagonise members of the public who would otherwise have continued to be staunch supporters. (
eg By adopting an arrogant manner, or by reporting trivia instead of giving a warning.) However, I wonder if perhaps you're allowing the experience you describe to cloud your judgment here.
