0:30.7 | So the bike was both in the view of Big Ben, Parliament and the Met. It was chained up, |
0:40.0 | left there for two days, and by the evening of the second day, it was stolen. I got a text on them saying, sorry, we are closing your case. We're not |
0:46.3 | reviewing CCTV evidence. We're not going to do basically anything. I gave the story to the |
0:50.8 | telegraph, and suddenly the med gets back and says, oh, no, no, we are going. |
0:56.1 | So look at the CCTV footage. By the way, they actually never got a hold of the CCTV footage at all. |
1:01.6 | So they said they would look at it, but didn't? Nothing happened. It's not just bikes, not just phones. |

2:14.5 | stolen, and the same story kept coming out. Police were doing nothing. There was nothing happening. And then when started digging into the stats, it's extremely, |
