Cos nobody ever gets discracted / leaves their phone somewhere shoves it up their bum whilst drunk then passes out and wakes up the next day forgetting where it is amirite?

Not interested. If people want to be irresponsible retards with expensive gadgets that's their choice, just don't go calling the Police expecting them to go fetch when they do. Quite frankly, it's nobody's fault but their own.

And you know this how?

"IphoneX stolen last night". No mention it was stolen through a burglary, or the victim was robbed on the street, no just 'stolen'.

Can you be anymore vague?

They are too busy arresting old people for not paying the TV licence

Police aren't generally involved in investigating, enforcing or prosecuting TV licencing matters.

Other agencies like TV licencing, local authorities and the HSE can investigate certain matters and launch prosecutions in criminal courts.

Phone tracking apps aren't accurate enough all the time to convince a magistrate to issue a warrant based on such information alone. Obtaining and executing a search warrant properly and relatively safely is not a cheap or un resource intensive enterprise to undertake.

And let's assume the police do recover a phone in a house of multi occupation.... Unless there is a good suspect description cctv etc for the actual theft the chances of anyone ever being successfully prosecuted are very low.

Police powers of entry to premises without a warrant are rather limited (principally centering around entering premises to save live and limb and arrest persons for specific/ more serious offences) and don't include forcing entry to premises to recover potential stolen property.

Lololol. nothing like a bit of victim blaming. Not everyone who has something stolen is an irresponsible retard.

And speeding fines, got to keep that income yo.

Most forces Speed Camera vans are operated by trained civilians, not officers anymore! The only exception would be Traffic and ARV, on the few occasions that the two cars that each county has are actually out on the road. :(

And the fines go to central government not the police coffers...
