·Sorry you have had your property stolen, and your space violated
As someone has just said......Liverpool has a massive drug addiction issue....as does parts of Manchester
In the 80's / 90's ......( when car radios were detachable ) ........its really was far, far worse...
People were attacked at traffic lights for their laptops / handbags....usually with a brick through the window
I must have lost 10-15 radios during that time, ( two in the same week !) and even had my Astra GTi stolen, & torched in a local park
( I was probably more annoyed that they used a book, on the back seat as kindling,...... than the loss of the car itself )
All metropolitan cities are prone to car crime....I believe it is rife in Singapore too ?
Never leave anything of value in a car......even the boot / trunk is vulnerable to being 'popped'
My sympathies...it is horrible when it first occurs to you......but try to move on

·Unfortunately what Theresa May says and what she actually does are 2 very different things. The pay cap for example: here’s a 2% pay raise for the police but we are only going to pay half of it, the other half is coming out of the budget that we already give you and isn’t pensionable. All she does is keep cutting back, probably helps her husband owns 50% of g4s
All public services should be properly funded, when you need them they’re life savers.
Sorry to hear the bad news, hope they catch the bugger.

·I'm astonished you managed to get a scenes of crime officer to come and have a look - you must either have been incredibly persuasive or lucked out with your case landing with a very keen officer!
Unfortunately the way policing in the UK is going means that in my borough in London they're looking at dealing with theft from/of motor vehicle and burglaries being dealt with over the phone. Burglaries! I believe in Leicestershire they trialled only attending burglaries at even numbered houses for a while!

·Sorry to hear your story but unfortunately policing in the UK is getting really bad with massive cuts,our local police station is now being made into flats,and our local crime has rocketed,the criminals know they have loads of time to do whatever they want knowing no police will turn up and there will probably be no police follow up either.

·What a mess, and unfortunately it is a common occurrence all over the UK, as successive governments, cut spending on the Police.
I live in Central London, and there used to be a huge Police Station about 500m from my House. It was sold, and has been redeveloped into very fancy flats.. Of course petty crime/ drug use has soared since the station closed...

Malaysia is a neighbouring and different country altogether. The article writes that Singaporean cars get stolen in Malaysia. Not the other way round. Malaysia is a Muslim majority country, and also happens to be a backward third world corrupt country who’s Prime Minister ran the biggest scam ever, a sovereign fund called 1MDB which paid for the production of “Wolf of Wall Street”. And also purchased Marlon Brando’s Oscar as a gift to Leonardo Dicaprio for his great performance in said movie. I wouldn’t go there unless I had no other choice! People get gunned down in broad day light at a traffic red light!

·I think all your visible electronic plugs and wires are best disconnected and hidden when exiting your car.
This type of crime does not occur, very often anymore, in New York.
Could have been far worse. At first glance, I thought the evil doers made off with your steering wheel. 😀

·Good God1 How much street parking do you do?! 😀
Had my car broken into in Melbourne some time back, they took about $10 worth of loose change & a $10 pullover. Left my $200 sunglasses. The broken quarter vent window cost $250 to replace though.
Clear prints left all over the glass & dash, a perfect print on the door handle, so we drove to the Russell St cop shop but the Coppers refused to do anything, iirc, they said pretty much the same thing; nothing will come of it, it's not a serious crime, it's Saturday & we're short handed.
I had insurance on the car, and had to fork out £75 for an OEM window, without the Jaguar logo. 🙁 The OEM window would’ve cost £450 without any insurance.
Which part of Melbourne do you live/were burgled at? I stay at south bank, at eureka towers next to crown casino and I must say it’s pretty darn safe! Safer than the UK! Only danger is the casino!

·Applaud your persistence at getting the crime properly investigated. Bureaucrats are counting on folks like you giving up and going away.
Please update us on whether or not any leads are pursued!
PS Sorry about your window & all the headaches w/ this.
