I saw them through my window. They're not the brightest and thought no
one could see them or no one was home as they showed the gear off to
their mates or just thought no one cared enough to do anything since
they'd been there before (wrong - smoking pot is one thing , getting
out weapons is another entirely). So I called plod , who to their
credit actually showed up in a reasonable time but then blew it by
parking their van in the one place where the yobs could see it and
promtly legged it over a nearby wall before PC Dimwit and friend had
even got out (perhaps that was the idea). On the plus side we haven't
seen the kids again since though that could be just because of the
weather.

I think you'll have to do better than a bunch of yoof who didn't do anything
much.

As the Arctic Monkey's sing;

up rolls a riot van,
and sparks excitement in the boys,
but the policemen look annoyed,
perhaps these are ones they should avoid

we got a chase last night,
from men with truncheons dressed in hats,
we didn't do that much wrong,
still ran away though for the laugh,
just for the laugh
