Utterly, utterly astonishing how little British police seem to care about crimes like these, when people literally have trackers showing where their stolen stuff is! Time and again we see that following leads like this can result in smashing organised crime.

A phone theft victim does the legwork to lead the Met to an organised crime gang.

You might have seen this week’s coverage of the phone theft gang that was smashed by the Met police. The police said the gang may have shipped 40,000 stolen phones from the UK to China, around 40% of all the devices reported stolen in the capital in a given year.

The only embarrassing thing for the Met is that their mega investigation seems to have been prompted by a member of the public using Apple’s Find My feature to track their iPhone to a warehouse near Heathrow, where they alerted security to a large box of stolen phones, who in turn eventually got the police to take it seriously. Whether the gang would have been found out without that enterprising member of the public doing their own detective work is unknown, although it shows that a basic bit of legwork can make the difference.

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

Labour has a majority of about 150. What is the internal turmoil this person imagines that would lead to a Labour PM voluntarily calling an early election. Because that’s the only way one happens.

Or to put it another way: what are these people smoking?

This is grim & dangerous over reach.

This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.

Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

I have the full shebang. I’ve done the maths over and over and it just doesn’t make sense for me to downgrade now.

I use News, Arcade and Music on a daily basis, and watch TV+ pretty regularly.

Super good value from my perspective.

The leap from AirPods Pro 2 to AirPods Pro 3 feels pretty massive to me.

I’m hearing parts of songs and melodies I have honestly never heard before.

Just a friendly reminder that Microsoft Gaming revenue grew by $6BILLION last year.

Game Pass took in $5BILLION in revenue and they say it was profitable.

This months price hike is unnecessary greed from one of the biggest corporations in the world.

Xbox Series X is my last Xbox console.

Aren’t they, you know, supposed to give notice of price changes?

Fuck Microsoft tbh. Xbox is dead now. And I say that as a member for 16 years from 360 through to today.

I bet she couldn’t have spotted a bomb if it was ticking down in front of her face.

Full bag search. Everything pulled out. On the way out as I’m leaving an event that’s been nothing but talks and freebies.

Total nonsense. G4S can suck my fat dick. 2/2

Just lost my rag with an overzealous security guard on the way out of the Excel.

Sure, I’m happy for you to search my bag on the way in, but to search on the way out after I’ve been in and out for 2 days is fucking stupid.

And what did she check? My laptop. 1/2
