If you dealt with the issue yourself, you can bet the police would be interested then...
Yes I was once woken up by the police early hours in the morning apparently 2 scrotes had tried breaking into my mums car which was parked outside my house for me to take for service mot the next day. One of the poor unfortunate little darlings had tripped up doing himself some quite nasty injuries his mate had run off coming back later to call an ambulance for his clumsy accomplice.
I was given a lift to the police station and questioned on and off for around 10 hours on whether I'd tripped up the poor unsuspecting oxygen thief.
Obviously having been fast asleep dreaming of pretty girls covered in chocolate I could offer no help to the hard working men in blue :fail when I asked if they'd be prosecuting the pair for attempted theft I was told "I think they've learnt their lesson sir"
upon leaving the station the custody sgt whispered "you did a bloody good job there" I never did grasp what he meant.
the councils really should spend more on making sure their pavements are safe so people don't trip and break their arms etc
Yes the police will take great interest in someone with something to lose or just an average bloke who's had enough of scrotes getting away with it however despite a spate of recent burglaries on that estate with most houses hit that one never has been again
