Because they will ask when it was left there. What they are saying is that they don't to be looking at maybe 12 hours of cctv for someone's bike. No point telling them it was only there an hour when it might have been nicked 6 hours earlier.
No, but they’ll use their armed response resources for coming to find you for a tweet with some hurty words 20 years ago hahaha
To be fair the BTP are pretty decent in my experience. My missus has to ring them almost daily nowadays because of the way she is abused on the trains and they are pretty much there at the next station without fail for her unless it's Howden or Brough! Surprisingly the ones at kings Cross are very responsive and show zero tolerance which, given how busy they must be, is commendable. I'm sure if you reported a bike being nicked regardless of the time it was there they would be helpful with the situation. They tend not to be as stretched as the poor sods having to deal with the wider City centre.
Think what made it even worse the beeb do their own advert saying they hunt out the truth !! Ffs 20 minutes on a storm and two minutes at the end about an innocent man stabbed to death out walking his dog Go figure
I live in the region. 21 years ago myself and my family lived through a Cat 5 hurricane (it would have been Cat 6+ if that even existed). House pretty much destroyed along with cars etc and believe me its no fun to live through. 3 deaths in the UK does not diminish deaths elsewhere due to events such as a major hurricane.
Seen how many deaths in Sudan and kids starving? Far more than Gaza. Thousands of Christians murdered in Nigeria. Little mention of that or protest marches.
