A bit OT but on the assitance thing.
While I was at work one or more scrote(s) busted down the door to my
"secure" storage, broke my gold marked lock and had away with one of my
bikes.
Two 15 year old SOCO's arrived at my door several hours after my
discovery of this and told me that "one or more scrote(s) busted down
the door to your secure storage broke your gold marked lock and had
away with one of your bikes" but there are no prints 'cos they must
have worn gloves. Here's a crime number for your insurance and we doubt
if you'd get your bike back.
More weeks pass and the insurance pays for my shiny new Bianchi.
I get then fined for speeding at 35mph(ish) in Richmond Park just as it
opened one Sunday morning.
Same Sunday my brother phones me to tell me he's just bought my stolen
bike for £50 at a car boot sale.
(my postcode and initials are stamped on the underside of the frame
next to the serial number)
Police here in SW london seem to be very ineffective.

I think you will find the only "assistance" one gets is a crime number
in order to fill out one's insurance claim. A few days later you will
get a fabulous leaflet offering advice on dealing with your trauma.
I hope they don't use highly trained officers for that part of police
work...
