Streaker, Stalker, Paperwork, Thief…

Well, actually paperwork should occur several more times in that list – after every recordable event.

The naked man, if truth be told, was more of a wanderer – he was spotted in Llanffuglen and when PC Sporty and his colleague picked him up he appeared to have been beaten and burned. After several hours of waiting in hospital while he was treated, Mr Streaker said it was nothing more than he deserved and he didn't want to press charges!

While Mr Bill’s colleagues were waiting for the man to tell them how he came to be wandering naked in town, covered in injuries, Mr Bill was interviewing the victim of stalking. This is not the person from the previous post – we have not heard any more about that at present; this is a new incident. The victim has told a harrowing tale of how the Stalker is ruining a whole family’s life. Mr Bill, wanting to take a full account of what has happened spent four hours taking the victim’s statement.

The Paperwork means Mr Bill is single-handedly responsible for the complete deforestation of an area the size of Wales (well, if not quite that big, at least a couple of trees).













Imagine, if you will, taking your pre-teen daughter on a trip to the local Megastore, your daughter expresses an interest in looking around on her own and you agree to meet up by the exit in about half an hour. Then, after paying for your groceries you are packing them into bags, you hear an announcement asking you to come urgently to the front desk – you immediately drop everything, so worried are you, and rush there where, your worst fears are not realised; your daughter has not had an accident or been abducted, no, she has been arrested for shoplifting and the police are on their way.

The Mother was, as we say in Llanffuglen, “tidy”. That means she was a decent individual who is probably doing a good job of bringing up her children. So on finding her daughter had attempted to steal two small items was mortified. The child quickly became distressed at realising the implications of what she had done and started to cry.

Mr Bill found this one of his most challenging incidents so far. He has seen some unpleasant things and smelled some unpleasant smells but this challenged him in a way he found more difficult to deal with.
The outcome is that the child has been banned from Megastore for 6 months, which is probably unnecessary as I think the mother will probably never darken their door again in case someone recognises her. It was never satisfactorily established why the girl stole the items – but Mr Bill hopes she has learned her lesson.
