  • A commuter on a train boasts of the fact that he collects a large amount of money each week from a bank. A crook listens intently. The man collects his money and puts it in his briefcase. C/U of a Westminster Bank cheque. Man leaves the bank and gets into a car which drives off. The crook and his cronies push a car into the centre of the road and turn it over as if there has been an accident. Man from the bank and his chauffeur are beaten up when they stop to assist. The crooks drive off.
    Businessman strolls along the street. We then see him in a boiler suit. He enters a building and the receptionist lets him in without checking his credentials. He walks out with a typewriter. Supermarket. A woman loads groceries into her shopping bag. Cashier gives her the change. She walks away with her handbag open. The man follows her along the street and takes her purse. C/U of the purse as he opens it and takes her keys. He follows her home. (Camera Slate in shot).
    Domestic interior. Family watching television. (Camera Slate in shot). Mother is knitting. Father gets up to make the tea during the commercial break. The crook is inside the house and leaves when the father goes back into the living room. The crook poses as a meter reader. A woman lets him into her home without checking his credentials. He checks the meter and asks her to go upstairs and turn the lights on. He cases the joint. He steals a watch and when she comes downstairs he leaves. She waves from the doorstep.
    An old lady walks down the stairs of her house to answer the door. A man breaks in. A neighbour sees what is happening and runs across the road to a telephone box to call the police. The man on the train is embarrassed when another commuter points out the newspaper story about the ambush on him.
    Produced for the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis. End title reads: "Carelessness Causes Crime". Note: This item has two slates in shot as indicated above, a perfect copy of this documentary exists on Beta Number 1237.

      My daughter found a £20 note on the floor of m&s in a service station a few years ago. Very excited she was😂 But I explained that we needed to hand it in,it's owner probably hadn't got very far, and how upset would we be if we lost £20. So,girl at the till called her manager down who took the note and said that they would give it to charity. At which point I started to feel cross. He wouldn't take any details of where it was found and when so that someone could get it back. When I pointed out that the usual procedure is to write down who found it, where,& when and if it isn't claimed within a reasonable time frame it's often returned to the finder he got really unpleasant, stuffed it in his pocket and slammed himself behind the staff only door. Not really the good example I was trying to set in front of a child. That's a big thing that's changed, people behaved so much better in front of children,any children. Now it's a free for all and we still blame the children for behaving badly.

    Not asking for credentials. This reminded me about something that happened on October 30, 1987 in Seattle at Harberview Hospital ER one night. It was around 11:30 PM when a man in painters clothes carrying a ladder walked in and past the front desk. The receptionist didn’t ask any questions but let him pass. I was sitting in the waiting room where he set up the ladder, climb up, and looked to be checking the wall. He asked me if about going to a Halloween party the next evening but left shortly after I told him I had boyfriend. Years later I watching a documentary on the Green River Killer and the man in he ER that night was none other than Gary Ridgeway the Green River Killer himself. 😳

      Lack of proper parenting has a lot to answer for too. I see so many mothers, thinking that they are being the best mother they can be,by helicoptering around their children marvelling at everything they do, taking to task anyone or anything that thwarts the little darlings wishes. Then they become the aggressive, entitled adults that we have posters about everywhere we go. Who could have imagined that we, the English, famous for queuing and apologising when someone else knocks into us on the pavement would become such a nation of foul slovenly louts.😞

    Not much has changed really. In the noughties I used to commute into London in 1st class every day. Some of the rather ungaurded talk I used to overhear would probably have been highly useful to me had I been in the spy business or running some kind of business intelligence service related to defence procurement. Usually just small bits of information - but if I had been so minded (which I was not) I could probably have collected them and built up a quite detailed picture from the pieces. Groups of people on trains tend to forget there are others very close to them.

    I’ll be honest there was a point in time,he’d of had a face full of spray paint and a pinched motor to split in,I mourn our isles but I do feel like a hypocrite because crime doesn’t have a colour or a religion it just is ,like breathing,some want what you have but don’t want none of the getting it in the first place part,quite amazing how facial hair has went downhill 📈

    Oh please do not take us back to those sorts of times , I know we love the idyllic and simple life more than we have now, or perhaps someone prefers there to only be white people in their neighbourhood, whatever it is you definitely don't want the busybody era back again, that was utterly awful..

    Love the comments. Anti racists and woke lefties seriously lack in the humour department.
