The skeleton suit was a nice touch.
I'd have been shocked by this if I hadn't had a bad experience with L&B Police myself. I saw some teenagers jumping up and down on a bike on the street outside my flat. Really jumping as high as they possibly could, coming crashing down on it, in an attempt to destroy it. When I phoned the police (and yes I didn't dial 999, just the local station; I suppose because nobody's life was in danger) the person who answered did their best to manipulate me into saying that the bike might have been somewhat near a bin, it might therefore have been left for the bin men to take away, and that it therefore wasn't necessary for any action to be taken. Of course I didn't know whose bike it was or anything else about its status other than that it was being rapidly destroyed before my eyes.
I was appalled; as far as I was concerned, I was seeing violent crime and I was reporting it as it took place, giving the police every opportunity to arrest those responsible. But they weren't interested. Not even remotely. As I remember, they refused to take a report and they never bothered to get back to me about it.
Needless to say I won't bother to report such things to the police again, as they don't appear to care.
