AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! Yet another Cnut!!!!!

It makes perfect sense. If you leave your car unlocked, and people steal your stuff what do you do? Hopefully you call yourself an idiot and consider it a lesson paid for. But chances are you call the police and even lie to say it was locked. Waste their time over your irresponsibility. Maybe the police shouldn't need to be like your mommy and tell you how to be an adult, but then why did they feel the need to implement this plan?

The police don't allow public access to the PNC, its actually a fairly complicated database and not user friendly. This is where the provenance companies like HPI come into it, they take the raw data out of the feed and turn this into something useable. Most of the stolen data you see on HPI etc comes from the insurance companies, its far more comprehensive and accurate than the PNC and updated far quicker, the PNC info simply fills the holes where the vehicle isn't insured. You woudl be amazed how difficult it is to get data from the authorities. For example in ireland there is no central record of stolen vehicles available like the UK, the data the provenance companies use come from insurance companies rather than the police and in the UK there is no separate register for trailers and caravans, they are held on one huge register along with all other reported home theft item.
