Nice story!
Reminded me of a few years ago when I was living in Hornsey, my flat got broken into in the middle of the day. As the burglars were unloading my TV out onto a flat roof, an observant neighbour spotted them and called the local police. The police then called one of their off duty officers who so happened to live opposite me.
Friendly local bobby then bided his time until they'd loaded their car, then just popped over, knocked on the car window and arrested them both.
PS Upon walking round the house to confirm what was missing, some officer commented on my flatmate's room, saying "Ooh, really sorry mate, they've properly turned this one over". I had to explain that it always looked like that!
Having taken my statement I was then made to unload all my own stuff from the fucking car, the damn cheek of it all...
