Ok - this is a bit long, but I'd love to hear others experiences.....
Just wondering if anyone has ever experienced, seen or been caught up in Crime?
just a few things thats happened to me -
Used to work in a bank, so had ID fraud in my face all the time, got loads of fraudsters at my till, BLATANLY trying to get money that was not thiers, called the police, they were there within mins and arrested these people in the bank! ( this happened loads)
Witnessed a Ram Raid of the Co-op over the road form my house 2 weeks ago - actually saw them drive the car through the side window of the shop, load it up and speed off, at 3am!
Woke up last year, mums car was gone, looked around the 'bad' area of luton, actually saw the car being 'stripped of parts' by some bloke! When the police turned up the 'criminal' towed the car away! (the police did get them though - with the help of the police helicopter!)
Seen someone stabbed in front of my eyes, in luton town centre, on a night out - after a fight, someone who was not even involved came up behind the bloke that threw the punch, and STABBED him in the shoulder with a knife. I ran around the corner, to find two coppers just 'standing there on duty' - they hadnt even heard the shouting. WTF?!! Gave statement, heard nothing else, though I suppose they couldnt tell me that.
Turned up for work one saturday, at the bank, and the whole road was taped off, with forensics officers scraping things off the pavement, was told I cant get into the building as there had been a murder, and the BODY was still round the back doorway. This has to be the worse one to date - poor man. There was blood everywhere, and it disturbed me for a long time.
Xmas eve 2 years ago, was in my local nightclub, and hubby was a copper back then, on duty. Went about my usual business, dancing the night away, when a small fight broke out... 2mins later men sprang out of nowhere, and it turned into a full scale riot, people got broken glass slashed across their faces, chairs were thrown at people, the bar staff just RAN. The whole club errupted, and alot of people were stabbed, and scarred, my friend got pushed to the floor and her head was trodden on, this lasted about 10 mins, the police and armed police then swamped the club, and my gorgeous hubby came running in, found me and my friend and carried us out. He didnt care about doing his job that night, he only cared about saving me from getting hurt. sniff. all emotional now.
So sorry for the LONG post, but I think Ive seen ALOT of violence and crime, and I'm only 21! - I'd love to hear what other geeks have experienced!
