I could tell a similar story Mike.
My son comes home on leave after serving in Afghanistan and he is assaulted in a pub. Police give him a crime number and don't even interview him.
2 weeks later I get a knock on the door to see 2 lots of armed officers wanting to see my sons gun collection. All inspected, all deactivation certificates in order and off they go. (I had to suffer bone questions like, why wont the working parts go backwards on this one-answer, because its been deactivated so that it can never be cocked. Nice to know the armed officers knew their stuff eh).
Like you say, we are an easy touch, real criminals are too hard to catch.
