Most of the crooks in Australia just carry an angle grinder and bolt cutters.
The cops give them fair warning, they sound their sirens from several kilometres away so that the crooks can escape.
And it don't matter if the crooks are stupid enough to get caught, because the courts will let them off anyway.
In Australia the policy is policing for profit.
If there is no money in it, they don't care.
Over the years, I have been robbed 4 times.
Never using lockpick tools, usually just smashing in a door or window.
The Peleese just give me a report number and never follow up.
But if I go a couple of klm/hr over the speed limit......they are all over me.
It worries me, carrying a safe and modest tool around
because Im not on welfare and have a bit of money.
This makes me a prime target for "Policing for profit"
