And the police do nothing about it… my daughter’s new car was broken into on Monday 9th September in Calwell, her window had been shattered the full shattered piece of glass was place under her car and items were taken from her car (these items were in the glove box and not clearly visible from outside the car). We reported it only to be told no patrol would be sent and given a crime report number for insurance and that was the end of that according to the police. The car has a damage bill of over $1,000 with the replacement of the window and repair of the window frame.

Upon door knocking our neighbours to see if they had seen anything we discovered our neighbours have a CCTV camera set up due to having their cars broken into a few times so they checked this for us and they discovered a man (not a young kid) in their driveway at 3.30am on Monday looking through their car windows with a torch and and trying to open the doors before moving onto my daughter’s car. They then called the police that they had this piece of scum on camera and the police were not at all interested in coming to look at the footage. I and my family and friends are completely disgusted with the treatment of the ACT police who seem very happy to continue to let this low life wander the streets damaging and stealing other peoples hard earned property. I am completely appalled given we have this guy caught on camera and nothing will be done about it. It seems that we Canberrans can just walk around breaking into people’s cars without fear of being charged because the police don’t seem to care! I’m sure if I see this guy again and hit him with a baseball bat they would take notice!!!!
