What I cannot understand is why - when there is clear evidence of the whereabouts of a stolen item -  they cannot go to that house, search it, and ask questions which might well lead to any other people involved being caught as well 

By chance, I came across the story below. Admittedly there are 1 or 2 other things going on in the same story...

I had police raid a house of mine years ago when I was out.  Apparently it had been a safe house in the past.  Smashed in the front door even though neighbours were telling them it wasn't a safe house.  Kindly had it boarded up for me.  A famous solicitor, Rex Makin, got a reasonable settlement.  Put me off stealing.  Not that I was a thief.  Bizzies had obtained the search warrant but the process clearly hadn't worked.

    • I'd be tempted to put up some sort of fence  to delineate the area and see what happens. Probably nothing.
    • Poundland have been there just over two years. 
    • Has anybody here bought some land from the council to become part of their garden? There are helpful guidelines on the Southwark website here including a PDF with associated costs, however the "valuation" element has absolutely no guidelines. It could be £500 or £50,000. You will already have spent £1000 on the process before finding out what they will charge you for the land - which would certainly be frustrating if it's not affordable for you. The land in question is a tiny patch immediately attached to the front of my property, approx 4 meters wide x 1 meter long. Would like to put a fence there to separate from the pavement and allow some privacy, keep the bins more tidy. The land is of no value to anybody else and is neglected currently - the council seems to have to stopped maintaining this area between the pavement and the houses on our street.
    • I suppose wind could have blown rubbish out of bins down into the pond. But I also counted three footballs and some smaller balls. Regrettably, there is also what seems to be a large dead carp or waterfowl, hard to tell at distance. I just hope the water quality is okay. I am not clear to what extent the pond is managed.
