    With some experience in Police matters, I'd say the stolen goods are being shipped out of Australia all together, it has been going on for at least 30 years in the Eastern states that I know of, heavy machinery as well as the gear we use. Several of the East coast bikie gangs were stealing bikes etc, pulling them apart and sending them overseas as 'used machinery parts' or 'scrap metal', then reassembling them in the destination country. The last big bust I saw in Sydney was for several container loads of heavy earth moving machinery.

    Some of the victims were smart enough to send details of their stolen bikes to Harley Davidson who do keep a register of stolen Harley's quite separate from any law enforcement body, so if the numbers are not changed there is a chance of finding where the bike has come from.

    It should surprise no-one that there is NO international standard for the exchange of information on stolen goods such a vehicles and boats, so once you get the goods off shore it is open slather. The various 'Police' forces (I include Customs here) can't keep drugs out of the country and that is when they are spending hundreds of millions looking at what is coming in, so what chance is there that they are going to find stuff going out when they are not looking and not being encouraged to look?

    Thats fine compared to the name in the table you posted, and quoted by me with seven letters - C O C K B U M.

    Go back and see...
    I copy and pasted it from a News website.

    You have discovered also the reason why it is commonly spelt with upper case on public signs - It's all too easy to insert a small connection between the "r" and the "n" to make a "m".
    A bit like the insertion of an "i" in between the TO and the LET on a To let sign.

    I think your quoting of statistics is fine Bob, certainly as opposed to the hyperbole of the
    press and the shock jocks. The same should be said for the refugee "debate".

    I wonder, however, if the statistics are gathered and processed in the same manner each time.
    I am cynical enough to believe/think that politicians will fiddle figures to suit their own ends.

    A factor that also needs to be taken into account is the VALUE of each theft. Is this accounted
    for anywhere.?

    Petty theft seems to be treated with little concern these days. Witness my son's computer, birth
    certificate and passport theft. The passports and birth certificate have not been recovered and the
    police don't appear to be interested in them. A prime set up for identity theft could be in place!!!

    From what my son tells me the police on the Gold Coast are so busy with larger crimes that cases
    such as his are put t the end of the queue. This information is from the police themselves.

    I think we just need to be as wise and as safe and protective as reasonably possible.

    The claim was not about specific suburbs.
    And I also already said one suburb can differ substantially from another.

    Here are some stats that show this.

    Local Government POPULATION CRIMES Per 1000
    Peppermint Grove 1,779 19 10.7
    Cambridge 27,442 411 15.0
    Serpentine-Jarrahdale 18,395 298 16.2
    Nedlands 22,918 394 17.2
    Cottesloe 8,357 156 18.7
    East Fremantle 7,751 147 19.0
    Joondalup 167,634 3,275 19.5
    Mosman Park 9,513 193 20.3
    Kalamunda 56,699 1,180 20.8
    Melville 103,767 2,179 21.0
    Vincent 31,771 728 22.9
    Subiaco 19,077 462 24.2
    Canning 89,879 2,366 26.3
    Mundaring 39,532 1,047 26.5
    Rockingham 108,022 2,896 26.8
    Wanneroo 156,337 4,197 26.8
    Claremont 10,034 282 28.1
    Stirling 205,961 6,346 30.8
    Bayswater 62,627 1,980 31.6
    Cockbum 94,003 3,068 32.6
    Armadale 64,284 2,118 32.9
    South Perth 44,760 1,508 33.7
    Swan 116,068 3,933 33.9
    Gosnells 109,041 3,712 34.0
    Belmont 35,979 1,860 51.7
    Bassendean 15,000 777 51.8
    Kwinana 30,433 1,587 52.1
    Fremantle 29,383 1,704 58.0
    Victoria Park 33,745 2,518 74.6
    Perth 18,616 2,410 129.5
    And therein lies the problem with statistics. Crime is rarely the whole of anywhere. It raises its head as and where it chooses. Things get hot, they move on, new district, change of MO. Meanwhile statistics continue to churn out what has happened in the past - maybe. That is after they have been tweaked to suit. Granted, there may be some info to be gleaned, but meanwhile the crims press on. Its a bit like the stock market report, they can tell you what has happened, but it would be so much more beneficial to know what is going to happen. Inside info is the best resource for crime fighting. Obviously, this is illegal for the stock market - too effective. But there is nothing stopping its use to fight crime, where it could be just as effective.

    Out of control is a very emotive term as is the use of the word Plod. The onus with removing map references from photographs has to be an individual one and the warning given is timely and useful.
    If the police are under-equipped and too few the answer is quite simple - approach your local politicians and advise them of this meanwhile stating that you are willing to pay more taxation to change this state of affairs. You could go further and request surveillance cameras in every street.
    In the meantime join Neighbourhood Watch and get to know your neighbours.
    Cheers,
    Jim

    Well try this for a coincidence - Just got a visit from neighbour, he has been burgled during broad daylight. He recently took photos for an online advertisement for his business (small engine repairs.) I showed him these posts on the forum. He said he fitted the description perfectly.

    Default This is

    This might be 1 reason why crime stats are decreasing...

    Hi I reported a stolen white hilux a couple days ago from south st outside Murdoch uni.
    It was found today by police wich I imagine was because of some1 had seen the post from here. ( judging from the quiet location it was found.)
    Unfortunately by the time I got the spare key and went to pick it up ( about an hour ) it had been stolen again.
    I had 4 cars vandalised last night. Windows smashed, roofs jumped on! Police said they wouldn't even bother to come out!
    This buggy was stolen from Kenwick business in July 2013. Please contact privately if you have any knowledge of its whereabouts.
    3600PSI Diesel Pressure Washer stolen from Kenwick business in July, please contact privately if you know anything.
    ]

    Diesel water pump (new) stolen from Kenwick business in July, please contact privately if you know anything.
    Those last 3 were all the same place, and they were prepared enough with transport to take the lot!

    If crimes not out of hand then before the age of social networking we were all ignorant about what levels crime was really at.

    Things with stolen bikes got so bad - People saw their own bikes at a certain house... reported to plod and they refused to go there or do anything to recover them -because they had tried a zillion times and the courts just let them out each time... minimal fines which they never pay, so they figured why waste the time and effort and expense for zero result.

    So a couple of the local motor cycle clubs held a big charity ride, raised a heap of cash and went to one of the outlaw motorcycle clubs and "put out a contract" on the occupants of the household involved - "get it sorted". Next few days there was news report of, all the windows in the house smashed up and the occupants all fled in fear of their lives.

    Now there hasn't been a stolen M/bike report in a week!

    We did have 6 or 7 a night!

    But the law will tell you don't start vigil anti actions - whereas the experience now is, that's the only thing that works here in the wild west
    I'm not personally advocating it - BUT it does seem on this occasion to have had some effect for what its worth.

    I have just noticed that in Microsoft Photo Gallery - free Windows program - in the options settings it asks you about information to strip from photos Published using the program.
