Two guys broke into my neighbour’s dad’s house and he called the police. When they finally turned up, they clocked an old gun mounted on his wall. The police held him and his wife at home for three hours, not letting them have any food or water and threatening to handcuff him, even though he told them they could take all the weapons as he didn’t want them, they were out of license ones and he didn’t realise it would get him in trouble.
I don’t get the keeping of old guns/swords or whatever but he is in his 90s and has Parkinson’s, and his wife has terminal cancer.
The robbers didn’t get looked for.
