POLICE SMASH MY CAR UP!

[Scott]

Go smash there cop car Windows and say you fear there might be a bomb in there. Arseholes. I don't have any bootspace usually so all my fuel cans go on the back seats, Footwells ect. People cant say you shouldn't have them there ill put my stuff whereever I dam well like in my own car tbh

That's a real shitty attitude to have. Who is to say that there couldn't have been a real bomb in there? Could you imagine if a bomb went off in a built up area of London, and the police turned around and said they knew but didn't do anything about it as people can put their possessions where they like in their cars, and they just thought it was vegetable oil? There is no way that they were to know that it wasn't something dangerous or threatening as it wasn't clearly labelled (even if it was clearly labelled it would still be preferable for them to err on the side of caution).

I'm not surprised you're pissed, cleaning broken glass is a massive ball-ache and it's not nice to come back to, but you can't blame the police for doing their job. They also cannot phone you to discuss it, as Niall said it takes time to get hold of a number, but would you really want to f*ck around with trying to contact insurance companies or the DVLA while you're investigating a potential bomb. It goes without saying that you cannot then call the person and ask them if they've put a bomb in the car or alert them to the potential presence of police near the vehicle, what if they were able to detonate the bomb remotely and then knew it was the perfect time to do so as there were numerous people right next to it?

They would have broken the window as if they tried to break the lock then that's the sort of thing that could be wired to a detonator.
