Was that security or police? I'm guessing security, because any good police officer will know that the law isn't black and white - there is legislation - case law (outcomes from previous cases) - common law principles. That all have to be interpreted by a judge/ magistrate (a highly skilled profession after you become a lawyer) before any decision is made. It's a grey area - a very big grey area.

My brothers place got broken into and his Xbox 360 and a few games got stolen. His kids were shook so he rang the police but they did nothing. So he told one of his mates to look out for any Xbox 360s going around and 2 days later my brother got his Xbox 360 back and the thieves Xbox 360, cheeky little thieves already had one. they were 10-14 year olds and they got a good hiding too.
So it was a good ending and the bro got his stuff back but my nieces didnt feel safe when it happened and thats what really made us angry. We were lucky the bro got his stuff back but lot of the time people dont and the thieves get away with it |

I've been lucky, so to speak. Shed got broken into only once. The bastard's took the lot. All my deceased Dad's tools, my tools, my motorbike, bbq and too other many stuff too list. They had plenty of time. I was attending a funeral in Canberra at the time. Couldn't figure how they got so much stuff.
They tried a break in at my house (seperate to the shed) but failed. There's nothing at my house that would be of any interest of anyone. My house is very securely barred anyway. I live in what used to be a rough area, lower area of Bracken Ridge housing commission where I live now. But the neighbours I have are sweet. We all look out for each other. Edit: Not knocking people in housing commision eithier! Did not mean to offend you. Cheers!

Au3 I've been in lots of fights and had to beat a few people into submission but that's the choice they made they left no other option sometimes force is the only option left and we have to enforce that how we see it at the time sure we can be judged by a jury of our peers when we get to court that's life. It reminds me if a story not to long ago about a security guard in rundle mall he had caught a fellow for shop lifting the fellow said to him Let me go or I'll stab u I have a knife in my pocket the security guy said no the fellow then reached Into his pocket the guard proceeded to punch him right in the face before he got his hand out of his pocket and broke his jaw it turns out there was no knife but if there was? The guard is now being charged with assault could lose his licence And livley hood. Is that fair that's up to people to decide he should of let him go first time? If he does what's the point of him even having a job if he can't catch criminals? Some guards actually do wanna make
A diffence Instead of just being portable Mobile phones. I've found two dead bodys one overdose one murdered been threatened with syringes knifes bottles had my head smashed into a wall and to many fights to count but ive also Saved 3 people's lives with CPR helped hundreds of old people in diffrent ways returned alot of lost property dealt With alot of domestic violence incidences in public knock A few blokes Becoz Of it to I was prepared to lose my job for that issue it was always personal. Testified in court for a man who robbed a lady at knife point and stole her car to put him At the scene. But your right were all just big boof head bouncers who provide no community services wannabe cops I've heard all the Insults and in the end I always did right even when it was wrong or against the law Becoz the law is broken and needs to be fixed. |

If someone wants to come the raw prawn, you just smash them directly as it's the only way some learn, as they are too stupid to be dealt with any other way. i was not talking about dope but dangerous drugs that kill etc. it's just not good enought for only the cops to have to deal with it all. i should not have to put up with people like that at all. I had a foolish mate that went into all that selling and doing drug rubbish, he should of been smashed directly at the beginning. he moved to Sydney and came back to QLD on the mental pension for the rest of his life and when i said i did not approve of what he did, he said he was helping people ! No mate i have the right to deal with people who are willingly trying to destroy our nations people. If there were more people that would only just stand up to low life, the world would be a lot better place. Wimps don't win wars so if people are serious you have to deal with it. There is no hope dealing with low life any other way. you know why ? because they see weakness they will take full advantage every time. I did not come down in the last shower, i have seen it all. i am no new age Politically Correct day dreamer trying to win approval in the big bro house so as to win the approval from some dim wits. Don't you get it ? we are losing ? look around you and wake up. Go have a good talk to the cops and ask them are you winning. |

I'm with you castellan. The pathetic community service sentences handed out every day to violent repeat offenders is mind boggling in its ineffectiveness. Problem is a lot of the public have been dumbed down by bleeding hearts and civil libertarian dimwits who've never encountered really bad dudes. Reading their whimpering politically correct drivel in the press makes me mad and I often wonder what their reaction would be if their mother was bashed by one or more of the mindless swill who inhabit the criminal element.
Keep up your beliefs ... bash the crap ... it's the only message they interpret. And for the flamers ... get a life ... go to the Cross in Sydney or Orchid Avenue Gold Coast one night at 3.00 am and see what really goes on. |

The law says that you can use what ever force you FEEL is necessary at the time of the break in. If there is 1 and he is armed you can go to town on him. The catch is if he is running away you can not Chase him. You are strictly defending your self and family. That's the law in NSW and I've seen it 1st hand.

I had my bag stolen from a local swimming hole (blue lake) when I was 14. The only valuable in it was a prepaid phone, the rest was just clothes. That's about it for me, touchwood nothing else happens now!

Had some clowns break into my separate garage in thirlmere and they were tearing colour bond sheets to get in. Rang the cops and was told that they would be there in about 40 mins. So I went outside. Long story short they left behind a toolkit and took nothing. Ha ha

Yeah well I had to re build the colourbond wall. They touched my xc falcon that I was restoring... How dare they. And they left a tool kit and some tears of shirt behind when they scaled the barbed wire fence.

I feel sorry for our good cops nowadays as it's so disheartning to see the law let true full on criminals of the hook day in day out. You are totaly correct about the public and all, they are off with the pixies. |

Went to a swap meet about 5 years ago and parked my immaculate original XB Fairmont hardtop, white with black interior, 6 cylinder T-bar auto with under dash air cond. Returned to my car about one and a half hours later... GONE. The cops hardly gave a ****** and I had to ask around to bum a ride home. My XB was never seen again... no insurance. It still hurts very badly... scumbags.

best incident in australia for me was a guy that flaged me down next to his craped out camira on the old pacific hwy at brooklyn.
as i got to him I could see he was a junkie with a junkie mouri and some junkie chick still sitting in the car. Said his car broke down and could i help him organise a tow - I said just use the call box on the road and he said he couldnt because he didnt have a licence (red flag). This went on for a while and he kept playing with the bottom front of his tshirt. Eventually it lifted a little bit and I saw a pistol in his shorts...... "Sorry mate, I have to go, seeya" called the cops but never heard anything back Also had a cop come up and say i should wind my windows up when i park the car so nothing gets stolen. I said jokingly that I dont mind if they risk their life for some console change - he laughed , patted me on the back and walked off. |

Wouldn't condone castle doctrine here. Met a bloke from the US who executed ... yes.... executed with a shotgun... two thieves in the kitchen after they had given themselves up. Then he called the coroner to pick up the bodies...
His argument was "if you come into my home uninvited, and had the means to do harm, you made your choice... you're not leaving alive" Scary scary people in the world... |

Got robbed in '04, was a rental place in a complex of 35 houses. Ours was the only one without security screens on the rear of the house and we happened to be in the far corner over the fence from two giant fields.
Took a lot of jewelry, one which was pretty important to me. My Grandpa had died a few months earlier and had left a unique ring that he'd had most of his life for me when I turned 18. Didn't know that until recently either. Oh yeah, they stole a 2L bottle of Coke, some Doritos, and my Bike. So I provided the guy with lunch and a getaway vehicle. I did find it funny that the glass guy came, replaced the window that was broken and was gone before the cops arrived (and yes, I understand that the matter wasn't exactly urgent.) |

Knife pulled on me when I was 16 it was very blunt took it of him and threw it down drain and he started crying. Three kids about 15 from Palm Island tried to mug me at 11pm while out riding to lose weight when I was 118kg . They ran away mugged a 73 year old a week later and one of them got kicked in the groin and rolled on the ground crying, should never pick on am old Welshman although they did beat him with branches because he was afraid he would be in trouble for kicking the young fella and stopped defending himself. |

Normalised deviancy, introduced a carbon tax, dispensed with any need for personal responsibility and replaced it with 'rights', pathologised bad behaviour, encouraged a sense of entitlement, done away with any need for respect, promoted individual 'rights' over that of the community, supported the lazy and hopeless to languish (or thrive) on the fruits of other's labours, actively made war on the traditional family unit, made me pay for the choices other people make, encouraged idiots to breed, turned society into a scale of 'equalities' rather than merit... these are the real crims...

Only time was when I was a seven year old kid in browns plains QLD. Neighbours druggie son who just got out of jail broke into our house through the kitchen window. Parents at work and I was on my way home from primary school. The neighbour over the back was doing her dishes and saw the whole thing. She called the cops. Five minutes later I got home with cop cars barricading the street. After about an hour he gave up. When we got inside we found a knife behind my sisters bedroom door along with some loose change. I was pretty lucky I guess. If the neighbour hadn't spotted him I would have walked in on him five minutes later.
