Arsonists set fire to seven vehicles overnight in Hove (From The Argus)

'police were driving around'
do they ever get out of their cars?

Is it just me that thinks that the human race is going insane?

Going? It's gone, well gone.

No, we're all fine.

We ALL think that YOU'RE losing the plot though. All of us do.

Did the Greens have a late night at the Town Hall or was there a Bricycle meeting???

And a massive crash on portland road

We had a burglary at the same time in Davigdor Road just round the corner! Did anyone else see anything?

One vehicle fire was outside my home. Only saw firefighters who quickly & safely put the fire out. What I didn't see were police officers driving or walking around. Haven't even had a police officer call at my door today! Obviously if I had seen the culprit/s I would be sensible enough to report this and I can only hope that one of this street's many curtain twitchers spotted more than I did.

So you didn't bother to call the police but are upset that they didn't come to your door?

Are you simple?

Since you didn't see the culprit what would you tell them if they did come?

2 police cars sat outside our house all night, no knock on the door through.

Not that we saw anything anyway. Unfortunately.

when we catch them we should make them watch us burn all there belongings while we laugh in there faces! or better still burn them! god help them if these rejects of society come near me i will not be held responsible for my actions.

how long before one of these car fires which could be parked in front of a window or door will cause a house fire and then we could be looking for a killer!

About time people wake up.That police force does know real work.All they do is bring in money for the Goverment now.But real crime for people like above."You will never see them my friend."Apart from their drive to Asda every night lol.

So are you saying they should go to every house just in case someone has had something to say? Or would they go to the people who contacted them and expect anyone with something to say to be sensible enough to contact them?

By your logic paramedics should go out door knocking otherwise " how would they know someone needed help if they didn't ask them"

Think before you say silly things

Lol. Look Mr,Policeman can't you work it out yet."The public trust the paramedics to do their jobs."Ask you lot for help and 9 times out of 10 you lot turn it onto the person asking for help.Like the lady said on here after the guy got attacked in St,james street and she was holding the poor guys head."I called 999 five times,the paramedics turned up but there was know sign of the police."Thats just a few 100 yards from your station lol.

Late bars and clubs have privte security,around the city you see emergency responce units again private as backip to doorstaff.In the early hours vsible police have GONE the man in charge of brighton and hove police is retiring in march i think they should bring this day forward as he is only concerned with his budget and REMOVED POLICE FROM THE STREETS.He wil be moving on to where ever he came from leaving places like st james street back to how it was 10 years ago A NO GO AREA.The seafront in the early hours is controlled by foreign gangs of lads NOT POLICE.The police rely on private security,CCTV,and hope a situation is resolved befor they can get there WHICH WONT BE PROMP.The fact that whoever did this rampage for what must have been over a long period shows the outgoing man in charge HAS FAILED is this why he is going?Im sure if police were present in the city the helicopter could have been used and found these thugs.IN BRIGHTON AND HOVE DONT EXPECT THE POLICE TO BE THERE IN YOUR TIME OF NEED AFTER DARK lets hope new blood in charge of the police in march will once agan start protecting brighton and hoves citizens.

I was about the same night about 3.30 am all i seen was private security emergency response units i walked from st james street to king alfred area did not see one police car,the city is unpoliced in the early hours .A year or so ago police were all over the plase especially west street area,even though that area was busy there were no police i think cost cutting has made police rely on private security,and CCTV but id feel much safer if i seen a odd patrol car im sure its also the biggest deterrant of crime being committed too.A new person takes charge of our police in march they can only do better as places like st james street are once again no go areas after dard like it was 10 years ago.All the good work undone by poor police management.

Thank you yet again.Just drove home from Hove and did not see one police care,not even in Sackville road.Which is very odd after the cars set on fire in Hove.But me and my friend did see a young lady selling her body at Nat West bank again in Western road.As she ran down Sillwood street we drove around the block and saw three dealers making a nice amount of money for themself.If you read other post storys you will see im getting a hard time from a copper on here calling me a lier yet again.Please feel free to post and make your coments to them also.

Just a pure outstanding post my friend.People like you give me a little bit of hope.

Just because you don't see the police doesn't mean they are not doing their jobs. You don't know the full intelligence they had at the time so I think it's unfair to comment. I must say the police arrived very quickly when we had our break in on the same night. They havent yet been caught though!
