There must be no crime in Surrey if they have time for this.

I read this, this morning. Given it's in the Guardian, I would not accept it at face value and I suspect there may be more to this than the G is saying.

Would you accept the Daily Express front page Headline version?

It's also being discussed here

All the mentions of concerns for safety and the initial theft report suggest this is only half the story. On the face of it it seems like an over reaction but there's seems to be a lot of reports in a short period of time which suggests there was some sort of ongoing incident causing the swift action.

For example (I am speculating): the father has reported the girls being in danger and their property being stolen or his property if he claimed the iPads were bought by him or something.

I'm not saying any of it was right. I just think this is an LBC article designed to stir shit up.

EDIT: I know it's the guardian but lots of LBC quotes there.

Very scant detail on the man who reported her to the police, or what exactly he told the police.

No. I would not accept the Daily Express version.

I would not accept the view of any single UK newspaper on any subject. They are all biased in one way or the other.

Having doubts about the Guardian's reporting does not automatically make one a right-wing fascist.

Very scant details all round if you read the story.

I did wonder if the man who reported it was a vindictive ex stirring up shit.
