One of my cousins used to work in a Police control centre. Resources are
limited, so calls get prioritised and burglary, even those where the
burglar is known to be on the premises, get a very low priority.

So just what is the priority? Watching TV? Dishing out parking tickets?
Having lunch with journalists?

It might be an idea if the police actually published what they consider
priorities so we can all have a good laugh. Most would consider a burglary
in progress where the householder is present a very real priority.
