The other thing is, wouldn’t thieves use it to study areas which haven’t been hit lately?

Hmm, Acacia Avenue has been hit 20 times this month? Hmm, okay, ah, Railway Approach hasn’t been done, they’ll still have good stuff… :-S

Yes but you are missing the vital consideration, ie that Gordon Brown is a dork who forms all his action plans on the basis of advice from that well-informed champion of the Internet, The Daily Mail. It’s exactly the sort of pointless tw*ttery that makes for a good press release and therefore fulfils the New Labours Mission Statement, best summed up as: For God’s Sake Look Busy. I’m not worried about this Crime Map giving tealeaves ideas because none of them are ever going to look at it. It will get about as many hits as John Major’s Cones Hotline got phone calls, ie one, by somebody who thought it was for ordering a 99.
