Stolen Millstone - bother the police?

[HappyCampers]

We had a little visitor yesterday . . .

 

They stole a millstone from our front garden, it mostly decorative and partly there to help my sister in law get up the steps

 

Just a heads up in case you have stuff like this in the garden, someone might be looking for more - if you got offered one in the pub let me know, I have the dimensions and pictures . . .

 

Not sure if its even worth reporting it to the police, a dog walker friend has some info that might help but dont really want to get in to grief - thoughts?

I personally would report it. Even if it doesnt lead to you getting it back there may have been a spate of thefts and the reports could lead to the Police linking them all together.

 

Im sorry it was stolen, incidents like this are so annoying

[smithy266]

Yes, report it. It is theft.

Report it. It all helps police to build a picture of where crime is happening and what kind.

If you 101 it, it will get recorded and might just help to establish a pattern. It won’t take long and it isn’t “bothering” the police, it is helping them.

I think it's better to report, if the crime is not solved, it makes their solved crime rate look worse. A poor solved crime rate could lead to the Police getting more funds.

complete waste of police time i reckon.
