This morning at Vodafone I attended the launch of a Crimestoppers initiative to tackle thefts from motor vehicles over Christmas and New Year. The poster and leaflet campaign will cover the whole of West Berkshire, and had good press coverage - it should be on the local ITV news this evening.
The highlight was the re-enactment of a vehicle break in. First they asked Paddy Hopkirk, retired racing driver, to attempt to smash a car window with a metal bar. It made no impact, but then we were shown how easy it is to smash a car window by the expert from 'Thatcham'. It is scary how quick and quiet it was as the glass shattered.
