The states come out with these silly statements all the time. Evey few days there's another one - almost like we're being drip fed b*llsh*t to keep our tiny minds busy.
If dear Jeremy is actually worried about burglary in the island then perhaps he should take a look at the heroin users that are doing a lot of the robberies.
I love the way this bloke has obviously been kept up late one night after hearing a suspicious noise downstairs.
*It's the poor people - they're trying to steal my DVD player!!*
Where would they fence said DVD player? There, all of a sudden, hasn't been a thriving black market created where stolen goods are swapped on street corners for bundles of cash. Of course there is some of that going on but by no means is there enough of a demand for it that people are going to go out breaking into peoples houses to sift through their dirty knickers for a few quid.
What Jeremy here has done is he's got himself a headline and some exposure without any regard for the mental state of some of the islanders. They're be little old ladies affraid to open their front doors now - let alone leave them. The fact of the matter is that even if there is a handful of extra robberies, the majority of us wont notice, so why cause panic?
