The first time it happened there were custodial sentences handed out and it was found to not be the owners but rogue employees.

I think sometimes you need one if you need to claim off your insurance if there is a loss of property or money through a criminal act.
I also think that some minor crimes are not classified as crimes so as to give us the impression that the crime rate numbers are going down

It wasn't that I needed a Crime reference number as such - I was just making reference to the fact that the police did not see it as a crime as I hadn't suffered any loss - but that was only because the bank was so quick off the ball. I just think that there is obviously an issue at this garage and that they should be looking into it - if they don't view it as a crime then they aren't going to look into it

I don't see the difference between attempted robbery, rape, murder etc. All crimes, so if an attempt has been made then the police should act. God knows the crime commissioner (that's a laugh) is currently expecting us council tax payers to cough up extra council tax to stop police numbers decreasing.

Can any "experts" tell me why a special police officer who gets paid nowt can arrest people yet PCSO's (plastic police) get paid quite reasonably can't arrest? Makes no sense to me!
