Police 'steal' from unlocked cars [More]And if they just happen to "find" something they wish to keep--or leave something they wish to incriminate--why, what's to stop them?
Besides, it's for everybody's own good...

I am past being surprised at anything that happens in England anymore. This is just another example of the nanny fascism that seems to be infecting a majority of the English.
(With a HT to MythBusters).
"Don't try this at home, boys and girls. We are The Only Ones allowed. We're what you call, Paid Experts."
RE: "nobody's complained yet."
1-Would the sheeple/serfs dare? What would happen to the owners of the "stolen" property if they DID complain?
2-How will the nanny-state police react if the sheeple DO start to complain?
One might (only MIGHT) think (!!) that with all the resources at their disposal, the police would be able to track an auto license plate to an address, then knock on that door to alert the owners to their unlocked auto with the valuables in sight. Much friendlier and less nanny-statism (unless they've been watching the Prof Gates vs Sgt Crowley debacle).

Hmm. They're excusing this by saying they have a "common law duty to protect (people's) property.
Really. So when can the people of London expect to find a cop posted outside each one of their homes 24/7 to protect *that* property?
Have the people of England (London, specifically) reached such a coddled state that they expect the police to protect them from their own stupid, careless behavior? Have they reached the point that they're grateful to have their police force spending their time protecting their laptops and cellphones (that they chose to leave in unlocked cars) rather than protecting people from physical attacks by thugs?
Wow! Gots to get me a flat and move to jolly old England, where I don't have to worry about stuff I leave in my car, but I do have to worry about myself on the walk to and from my car.
