<p>I’ve just had a pot stolen, maybe overnight or early this morning. It was near my gate so probably very easy to snatch quickly. I was wondering which road you live on so I could wander down and see if my theft is related to your culprits, I’m on Pemberton.</p>

<p>Sadly, there’s no of course about it. Resource constraints mean that police action on crimes including burglary and motor theft often goes little further than taking the initial report. Window box theft will be lower down the food chain than either of those crimes. However, if the police are given good evidence of a crime that’s easy to follow-up, I presume they be keen to add another secure conviction to their stats. </p>

<p>So what was their motivation? Were they taking them to decoreate their own place or for selling on? Just pure opportunism? Can a conversation be had with them to get them to see the effect of their actions?</p>

<p>"They were apologetic". "You were very polite".</p>
<p>So chances are they won't do it again, because a polite 'don't do it again please' may well be <em>much</em> more effective than a doorstep rant.</p>
<p>And irritating though it is - commentators above - I doubt this crosses the threshold for the Met Police to devote part of their much-diminished budget to it.</p>
<p>Garlands for Conlon !!</p>
