Harsher sentencing for those caught on/in stolen bikes or cars
Owning a motorcycle feels like having a target painted on me/my house. Thieves are not sentenced properly because its hard to prove they stole anything so change the law so you can be sentenced for being in charge of a stolen vehicle and possibly a seperate charge for being a passenger in/on one.
Our road over the last 9 months has seen 1 burglary, 1 burnt out stolen bike, 2 attempts on our bikes, 2 attempted car thefts and its a small road with ~15 houses. The thieves do not fear repercussions and last time they came were armed, we told the police this and the officers that showed up informed us they were told not to attend as they were armed, so we are out confronting the thieves and the police are being told not to come to our aid. This needs to be stopped before people get hurt.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you're concerned about the theft of cars and bikes, but we're not sure exactly what changes you'd like to see to the law.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
