Police brutality.

All a bit weird, why would you sit and film the idiot attempting to break in, rather than just shouting f* off and scare him away? What if he hadn't been so incompetent and had broken in quicker before the police arrived? Why did 6 police answer a simple break-in and what the hell has the last female officer done to her hair - never seen anything like that on any of the officers I have worked with - and finally, not a tattoo in sight!

Boiling water would’ve stopped him

Film it ? I'd have boiled a kettle and "Accidentally" poured it on the thieving scrote, then gone down and battered the shite out of him.

Edit: beaten to it by a fellow vigilante

The insurance claim should be interesting.

The insurance claim should be interesting.

Shouldn't the perpetrator be paying?

He is even less likely to pay for it than the insurance company but you're right, he Should be paying.

The fact that the owner watched as the perpetrator destroyed his property without trying to stop him could affect his claim. Any insurance experts out there?

I hope they "accidentally" rubbed his face in the broken glass, the little tosser.

I didn't get the impression that someone was filming it. Firstly, he looks up a couple of times and carries on with his jemmying - he wouldn't do that if someone was leaning out of the window filming it. Secondly, the camera doesn't jerk around enough to be hand-held.

My bet is that it's a security camera that's being monitored remotely, enabling the householder to alert the old bill.

With the upstairs window open?

It does move about quite a bit but it isn't very wobbly. Reckon it was a kid/teenager filming it which would also explain why they didn't go down as they were too scared. The crap burglar seemed quite old, always assume burglars are young or out & out junkies.

From the accents I would guess that's somewhere in Scotland. That's why you should never leave a can of Irn Bru and deep fried Mars bar visible - too much temptation.

Airgun pellet in the eye, self defence.

By all means argue that I might get found out, don't tell me that I am morally wrong.

Is it one of those lost episodes of the Bill, that ITV managed to loose accidentally on purpose!

 

[Munkfish]

Why do people assume this is a house and not a flat?

Could easily be a downstairs neighbour.

If he'd been scared off, then he a) wouldn't have been caught and b) been able to go off and try and rob some other poor sucker. This way he's banged to rights, with pretty clear evidence of what he was doing.

This, plus whoever it was has clearly rung the police for them to turn up.

In Sussex, it would be - we haven't got anyone but we'll give you a crime number.

As I said, great plan if the boys and girls in blue arrive on time. As it was they arrived mob handed all at the same time...

"I think he's got a gun" should elicit a rapid and hopefully lethal response
