Adam I can't disagree with you but I don't think the current climate has anything to do with it.  I have a strong feeling this may always have been the case.

Most "crimes" are insoluble inasmuch as unless someone is actually caught bang to rights the perpetrator is home and free.  Of course nowadays there is dna and forensics etc., but for those to work the police have to actually attend the scene.  Therefore, it seems to me on a local level we have a very expensive police force who can turn out en masse for football games (usually paid overtime) or to apprehend the occasional shoplifter (that has already been restrained by a private security guard) or, as in the unfortunate case of a couple of weeks ago, a murder (where there are numerous eye witnesses) but, bother them with an "insoluble crime" and you are really just a nuisance.  Moreover, the person responsible for cutting the tyres, removing wheel nuts, sticking nails into tyres, leaving threatening and anonymous notes on cars etc., is allowed to continue his reign of terror as and when the mood takes him because it's not even worth the police troubling to ask him why he has cctv trained on the car park and why in spite of the fact that he is out the door in a flash to tackle any errant parker he evidently never manages to see who is responsible for causing the damage.

In any event, I suppose I really have no recourse and will just have to put up with it and so will the next person who has their car vandalised as I have no doubt will be the case when perhaps a new tenant moves in.
