Spanish economy - stolen purse

Hi All

Many thanks for all the comments.  We are not asking for special treatment as a brit but just fair play as we pay taxes and support the economy here in spain like many others, but from the experience of the event it does not seem comparable to the UK system.   So how do they solve and reduce crimes like this and bring the perpetrators to court please, so that I can hopefully understand without feeling 'nothing is going to happen'

regards

Timba

 Would you honestly expect an arrest in the UK? unless of course someone actually recognised the perpetraror en flagrente delito

Hi John

Many thanks for your kind words below:

John:

Nonetheless I want to quote you again.  This makes so much sense.

"It is not the UK, it is Spain. There is NO REASON why any country must compare itself with any other country.  Just because you are ignorant (do not understand) how criminal investigation is carried out (as you have repeatedly demonstrated in your posts)  does not support wild accusations of incompetence and unfair treatment.

 Surely if someone whishes  to know something would it not be wise to seek out and ask an expert rather than trying to drag out what are only uninformed opinions from those, myself included, who are not wise in the material.

I bet Timba wishes he had never mentioned this theft. What a strange response from knowallls.

I did not feel I had anything to add to what has been posted on this thread regarding the actions or non-actions of the police forces in Spain.

However, something I think it important to say, which contradicts the otherwise sterling contributions by Johnz, is the fact that it is normal and an indelible part of life to make comparisons, no matter where you hail from originally.

For example: John Bloggs does a certain job and gets x pounds a week. Joe Soap does a similar job and envies John´s salary, which is higher than his and makes a comparison request.

I have found that most things in life involve comparison of one sort or another.

A true example, which can be used for comparison is, I witnessed an attempted burglary in England, at 10 oclock one morning. I made a mental note of the´description of the two men involved, memorised the make, colour and number plate of the van they used and phoned the police within 10 minutes. I was told there was nobody available but an officer would call after 2pm that day. Two officers came to take a statement. One, spent the entire time talking to his girlfriend on his mobile, while the second officer wrote some notes.

They promised to contact me with any progress. Nothing happened for two months, then I received a call from the police, asking if I was sure the number plate I had given was OK, because, if correct, it meant the van was registered in the same County as the burglary!

I asked if that was not very likely? He replied, "I suppose so".

So, people, if you compare that experience with the police services here, I have no complaints at the moment.

 'I don' t have anything on my profile' seems I am wrong again, so sorry I didn't realise this was a dating site sorry. 

I am just interested in the goings on.. i.e what's  what not who's who

 Oh dear seems you are judgemental.

Many professions have what is known as a CODE OF CONDUCT.

One of the main points in these is to NEVER be judgemental.

A typical case is a judge who is never given information regarding the plaintiff until after a guilty verdict, as this could influence the outcome of the trial.Every thing should be judged on the facts not opinions.

And if you want medical advice surely it would be wiser to visit a true doctor, after all anyone could claim to be a doctor on here.

I my line of work I had the same rule and had I broken it i would have been out of a job straight away.

However it would appear that you wish to be judgemental hence you answer your own question as to why I have put nothing in my profile.

Carry on judging, oh and who his Jannie

Regards Janie

Have I missed the point  too ?

A judge cannot be a judge unless he/she has, and can demonstrate, the qualifications. 

I tend to agree with Elaine.

" I rest my case "      heheheheheh

 You have, what I said is

 NEVER be judgemental.So just as well you rest your case cos you aint got one

And it seems you have both taken us off thread

why not start a hate Janie thread
