I don't think they should be trying doors either. Will the next thing they do be to try to open the door with a bit of force, or open a window?

I bet if they "just happened" to find something dodgy at the same time, they would try and make that stick too. Its a slippery slope, and a step too far.

I agree with this and surely the police risk being accused of stealing something.

I wonder how it would stand up in court if someone was burgled and managed to produce a dated picture on twitter of a police officer standing in their hallway saying, "another unlocked door"

I don't think the police should put themselves out at all for anyone. It doesn't matter what they do, they get sh1t for thanks. Personally, if you're stupid enough to leave your home unlocked then the police should only turn up if you ring them.

People are worried about the police stealing something? LOL... I give up.

Oh for goodness sake, twist my words yet again why don't you!

The police don't have to steal anything to be accused of theft and there are some people who would accuse their own mother of theft if they think they're going to benefit from it.

The police could be making themselves vulnerable to false accusations against them.
