Yeah I think it has but nothing has been done with it yet. Maybe once the recession is over they'll do something with it!

Kim - the police round there are crap. my friend had an armed robery at her shop, she was clubbed, kicked etc, they ran off, the armed response unit crashed on the way, so they had to send another, of course, they were long gone.... she then spent 8 hours at the police station in ripped blodied clothes with a face like the elephant man, without even a cup of tea... "this is a police station, not a cafe" um yes, but been through quite a traumatic time!!!

i have nooooo faith in that station!!!

That's rubbish!

To be fair, when there was a car crash outside the vets and I called 999, there was an ambulance, fire engine and police car there within minutes!

We caught a young lad behind the reception counter in work one sunday afternoon, said he was just looking for frontline....yeah right, he was trying to get into the till, turns out he'd stolen from us before, he bolted out of the door when I questioned him and the other nurse there with my gave chase down the street, so I called 999, saying that we'd had an attempted robbery & were in pursuit of the robber, they took it seriously, but when the police arrived I got told off!! Said I should've just called the local station!!

I along with two other nurses and a vet were once threatened with a meat cleaver - a bitch we had in for caesarian stayed in overnight with us because she had complications (hypocalcaemia among other things). She took to the puppies very well when introduced (we had already told the owner he would prob need to supplement feeds with hand rearing) She got on so well with the puppies she ate two of them before we could stop her! The owner was convinced we had kept the puppies to sell them hence the meat cleaver!

I have also been hit with a fire extinguisher before by an owner wanting his dog back after the RSPCA had taken it off him and then stupidly told him that his dog had been taken to us for a vet to examine it.

Maybe you should have suggested he go see a behaviourist!

He'd paid his bill and was jus waiting to go thru the rads wiv the vet! luckily nothing serious needing imediate treatment, we have advised him and his referring vet that he is not welcome to come back.

After kicking off big style and taking a pop at one our vets and had calmed down he calmed hw only kicked off as he was going to be late collecting his daughter from school!!! Some people just don't kno how to behave

The vet was fine. The police gave us a crime number but I don't think we're gonna claim for any damage or anything. We're moving into a new building in a couple of weeks so I don't think the damage really matters.

We have the ladies details. In fact I had to give her back the body of the puppy today because she can't afford the cremation.

I just don't understand the attitude of the police

In this case l would put in an offical complaint against the control.

Oh dear, was the vet hurt?

Do you know this lady's details? Cant u report her for damage to your property and aggressive behaviour.

Im surprised the police didnt come out, how silly.
