Friends of mine moved to a small village in rural Somerset thinking they would get away from city crime. Not long after they moved in, two plant pots were nicked from their front garden (obviously not RTBC). They mentioned it to a neighbour and it was headline news in their local newsletter. A couple of days after that was circulated they had a knock on the door from their local PCSO to assure them it was a rare occurrence, and hoping it wouldn't spoil their opinion of their new home. I can't imagine that happening where we live.
In fact, when the rear window of our car was smashed the local plod said they wouldn't even come out unless we had clear CCTV images of the offenders. This despite the fact that the item used to smash the car window was still on the back seat of the car.
