There are a few "occupational hazards" to being a cat thief, the most obvious being the jack collapses/car falls off the jack while the scrote is underneath surgically removing the cat.
There have been a few of these cases seen but sadly it doesn't deter them. If the police still had their teeth that Tony B Liar extracted in the late 90s and hadn't had their numbers decimated under the conservatives (blamed on Tony B Liar also because they had to implement austerity as a result of Labours excessive spending/borrowing) then maybe there wouldn't be so much crime.

Also the do-gooders that tell us we can't punish someone because they've recently come to the country and that would be "racist" need a good kick up the arms-reversed - if they do the crime then they can do the time, criminal acts are criminal acts no matter where you come from.

Like you i don't want it to get political, i've mentioned the political bits in the hope nobody else will, nobody is specifically to blame but this country has descended into lawlessness in the past 2 decades and it shouldn't have done.

Meanwhile let's hope Lee (the OP) can get his car sorted ASAP and that someone, somewhere comes up with a solution to cat theft.
