SIR – We hear of many complaints concerning the slow response time of the police when reporting an incident or, indeed, the police not turning up at all. My experience has been quite the opposite.

On reporting an obviously stolen car that had been abandoned right in front of my garage, a police car arrived within half an hour and half an hour after that a tow vehicle came and removed the car. How is that for service?
