Ever been the victim of a crime?

[Jimbuna]

Stabbed on two separate occasions whilst on duty (so some may not consider it a crime ).

First one was the most serious and required surgery, the assailant got fifteen month.

The second time wasn't anywhere near as serious, the assailant suffered a fractured skull and a broken jaw during the process and was given a three month suspended sentence (the judge obviously took his injuries received whilst resisting arrest into account).

Theft wise, in 1990 whilst residing in Holland I had my bike stolen from outside a restaurant I was at.....I'd been out most of the day drinking with friends and forgot to lock it so I put that one down to life's experiences.

One message I always passed on at every opportunity was 'If you don't want to do the time, don't do the crime'.

Very few if any ever listened.
