How thick are the police?
My van was robbed of its van vault. The *******s smashed the door open
and ripped it off the floor. The police have now found a van vault and want to try my van vault keys in it as it is locked and has stuff inside it. The van vault they have was found by the police 2 days before mine was stolen. FFS. -- Adam -- Adam |

If they aren't designed to be releasable, I would have imagined it would be bolted though crossmembers or have plates or brackets to resist the (coach headed) bolts being torn though or is that not done for a good reason (like it's better to let them get the box than completely wreck the van trying)? Maybe these boxes *should* be fitted in a way that they can't be removed without a lot of effort (like a 'Sold Secure' standard) so that they don't bother (or have to nick the van etc). shrug Cheers, T i m |

Yes, this is a failure of common sense somewhere.

My point is that, no matter how accurate you know the information you gave is, they can't accept it at face value and have to consider the possibility that it was wrong. They would also look very foolish if the vault they found two days before you say yours was stolen turned out to be it. They do not want to view it as there are no face shots. Even then, it could be of limited value unless installed to BS EN 62676. A good face shot might give them a better idea of who to look for, but probably wouldn't be of any use as evidence. -- -- Colin Bignell |

The police advice divided the types of view into the following: Identification views, from which an individual can be identified beyond reasonable doubt. These would normally give a full screen view on a PAL system of an individual of average height preferably from the front and not at an angle. This could be used as evidence. Few domestic and not that many commercial setups give this. Recognition views, from which somebody who has seen the person before should be able to say, with a high degree of certainty, that it is the same person. This image can be half the size of an identification view and is the sort of picture you often see when they show CCTV images from a crime on TV. Observation views, which are smaller still. They give a general image of what is happening, but from which on very characteristic features of the individual, such as distinctive clothing, can be seen. This is the sort of view that most single camera domestic setups give. Detection views, which are the sort of general area views that a security guard might watch, to show that something was going on that needs to be investigated. -- -- Colin Bignell |
