Here's a scenario - If you were unlucky enough to go through the distressing experience of being burgled - is it reasonable to expect the police to come along and investigate?

And, if you like aeroplanes perched in unusual landing places, we may have just the job for you! If you're familiar with a certain traffic island on the outskirts of Lutterworth, then you'll know what we're referring to.
