Funny actually - a while ago I was working with a jewellery store. I had a "Customer" run off with a $5000 chain I was showing him. I chased him through the car park and it just happened to be when a co worker was arriving for work. This chap is a bald headed 6 foot tall SOLID man. He used to work as a bouncer for a few bikie clubs. Barry chased him and pinned him down until the police got there (took an hour). The guy was screaming like a b@#$h the whole time.
We both and the store manager who wasn't even involved got bollocked by the state manager even though we got the chain back and got PRAISED by the police.
Guess it depends what police you happen to get.
There are some good police around still.
