Try contacting them and see what happens.
A friend was knocked down by a hit and run driver more than six weeks ago and has just received an acknowledgment letter from the police at Colindale. And guess what? They can't do anything.
The police turned up to see her in hospital, and just gave her that form; they didn't take her name or any details. Subsequently, message to High Barnet police and a letter to Insp Adrian Needley, local police chief, have gone unanswered.
I would like to say that this was an exception, but it isn't. Time and again, the police look for ways of NOT following up crime reports. Their activity is in inverse proportion to their telling us what they are doing - good ol' PR at work.
Go on, try them out by reporting something and prove me wrong. I'll happily eat my hat, but somehow I think my head will be covered come winter.
