    I once had the four tyres of my car slashed, i'd no idea who done it and still don't had no issues with anyone or anything like that so I guess it was random, anyway I  went to the Garda station to report it,
    I told the Garda at the desk and he replies " what do you want me to do "   To be fair I didn't know :)  I said eh I don't know just thought I should report it, He said ok so and closed the door at the desk on me,

    someone expects the guards to do their jobs and you think this makes the OP inferior in some way?

    Hi Op I noticed that a lot of knobs here weren't much of a help to you.

    Sorry to hear your wallet was stolen, and it's an invasion of your personal self.

    It shows how society has gone really, lack of empathy and sheep mentality and ignorance.

    I hear you, it's not nice when you've been robbed, hope it doesn't happen again.

    As for the dck head's with shtty comments well that's the sort of people I'd avoid, more than likely jocks who wear bootcut jeans and bog shoes....

    None. None is the answer.

    As for your own inferiority complex, take it to personal issues. You're welcome.

    My bike was stolen from the common entrance to my apartment block. I had left in under the stairs. Unfortunately it could be seen from the street as it's glass fronted. Someone pushed in the door without any tools. I usually lock it but that evening I didn't. Reported the theft to the Guards. First time in my life I had to deal with the Guards over a crime perpetrated against myself.

    I was talking to a my neighbour later and he said 'ah the Guards won't give a feck about you bike' and I just casually agreed, resigned to the fact there is only maybe 10% chance of getting my bike recovered.

    A number of weeks passed when I got a phone call from Guards with the news that they got the guy who stole it. I had to give a statement in the station where the Garda in charge of the case explained to me how he got him. He spotted the guy on the town cctv system so had some idea of what he looked like. The guy was seen cycling off in a particular direction where he then fell out of radar. He then had to do some guess work as to where he lived, went to that area and asked around in the locality if anyone knew someone who fitted his description. He eventually found where he lived and he has since been charged with breaking and entering and theft.

    The garda apologised to me because on the day he had a warrant to enter his home but on they day he was called out to a serious fatal car accident and had to reapply for a warrant - in which time the perpetrator had sold on the bike. He actually said to me he felt bad about it and he meant it. I told him not too, it's just the way the cookie crumbled and the fatal road crash kinda put my issue into perspective.

    I actually felt bad for agreeing with my neighbour that 'the feckin guards' wouldn't care less about my bike. He clearly did. The other thing I realised is that catching ppl even when on CCTV is not as easy as one might think. The thief wasn't know to the Guards so tracking him down took some effort. Anyway my experience made me check my attitude to the guards and also it's always worth reporting incidents even if one thinks doing so is a waste of time.

    We need to remember that the Garda are a microcosm of society. The sum total ambition of one Garda may have been satisfied by being accepted into the Gardai to make his mum proud. Others will be excellent. You dealt with the latter. Good to hear these stories, as many of us have more experience of the former.

    OP seriously, just do what everyone else does in your situation, cancel the cards and get on with your life.

    They aren't aren't going to assign an out of control loose cannon and a soon to retire old timer to your case with hilarious results - it's a damn wallet - one of dozens stolen that day.

    I bet it didn't even make the 9 o'clock news did it!

    I am very disappointed in the services. My wallet/purse was stolen for the first time last week in the city centre. All my IDs, cards everything was in it, has been very stressful/ frustrating knowing someone could possibly be using or selling my identity.

    I went down to the guards and told them. I expected an alert would be sent out on my name if anyone was to use it on an ID or something like that. I was told it was probably thrown away at this point and just to order new ID and cards?

    Is that normal? There is literally nothing I can do?

    OP the chances that someone is selling your identity or using it is slim. Wallet thefts are more for the cash and cards rather than identity.

    There's no such system for alerts. The only alert for something stolen that I know of is reg plates as they will known then if stolen reg plates are used in a robbery etc. Also think about that logically - would the guards then have to respond when you were reapplying for the cards yourself?

    What you can do is inform your bank, cancel your cards, get a new driver licence and look for any suspicious activity on your bank accounts.

    Welcome to Irish law enforcement.

    If you're ever unfortunate enough to be the victim of a more serious crime like burglary or car theft, you no know what to expect from Ireland's elite law enforcement professionals.

    I had to batter a junkie to get my wallet back one day.

    The gardai barely acknowledged the theft.

    After I got home, I realised they didnt even bother to ask why I'd battered a person in Dublin city.

    Many years ago, my father was out walking his dog early one morning and found a dead body, he rang the cops who asked him to stay where he was until they arrived. They turned up fairly quickly and then just told him to be on his way - they didn't even take his name!

    Much less serious example but I walk to and from work, and often see a heavily disabled child/teen of about 14 being assisted walking with a minder - I have never seen him walk alone. He is physically capable but I would guess it is some kind of extreme autism or something because he just grunts and grunts and appears completely non-verbal with major motor issues.

    Anyway one day a few weeks ago I was walking home and spotted him jump the back of a house wall right by the pathway I take and right by where I usually see him and sprint off in the direction of the main road, so figured it was his house. I quickly took myself in to the neighbourhood, found the house, rang the bell a few times and had no answer despite there appearing to be someone home. Called to two of the neighbours, who said they didn't know the family but that it was the house he lived in, and that they never see him let out on his own. Tried that house again a few times, and no joy.

    After 15 minutes or so I rang the local Garda station just to notify them, and on the off-chance if they were familiar with him having done anything like this before and putting himself in harms way. They didn't know him, so I explained the situation (motor skills, non verbal, always assisted, etc) and was looking to give my name and number just in case he went missing and anyone needed any info. Not only did the guard point blank refuse to take my number, he then spent several minutes mocking the whole thing - "oh he just leapt out on his own did he? It must be a miracle I suppose!" type stuff.

    I left my number with a neighbour and thankfully nothing came of it. I didn't want to be doing a Ms. Lovejoy but but having a heavily disabled sister myself I was worried in case anything might happen, and what if he'd jumped in front of a car, or gone running up the Dublin mountains that I'm at the foot of, where finding him would be an absolute nightmare? The attitude of the guard was nothing short of disgusting to be honest.

    Found a stripped motorcycle frame in a green area behind my house ( housing estate in dublin). Figured i would call the local garda station to let them know. I thought they might get a stolen motorcycle off their book's using frame number n stuff.
    I was making my way back to my house to make the call when I saw a garda car driving towards me on the estate road not rushing or using lights. They were looking right at me, i decided to wave them down, they both turned their heads towards the hedge on the opposite side of the road, pretending they could not see me, and just drove on. Obviously they did not know why i was trying to wave them down. Imagine if it was a serious matter. Jaysus.

    A friend of mine found a wallet when we were walking in town. He went up to a Gard and told him he'd found it and the Gard said 'What do you want me to do about it?'. My mate put it in a post box. Couldn't think what else to do. Before the days of social media.

    Look after your stuff. Don't use your back pockets. Be aware of the weight in your front pockets should someone slice your jeans with a blade. Don't trust strangers who come near to your body. That's it essentially.

    Have police walking around undercover looking to be pick pocketed. Look up cctv. Have a car or a patrol in known risk areas.

    Of course we’d have to have a functioning judiciary.

    If you take the Luas or bus out west from Dublin City center chances are you'll see or hear some junkie or other harassing passengers to some degree, but you'll likely not see any law. They've no interest.

    I must have been lucky. My apartment was burgled years a go when living in Ireland. Plain clothes garda came by, dusted and took fingerprints. A week later I actually got a letter from them, it had a leaflet for a victims support group. Better than nothing I suppose, never heard anything more from them after that.

    dublin city center id say guards get dozens calls and are least intrested in solving stolen wallet. biggest pain in the but is getting all the new cards, most likely ur details are useless nowadays but cards that have swipe function pps number is an issue.

    main problem is that people who do that stuff prob have dozens if not hundred convictions and are let free to roam like ferals. Solution simple boost economy by building extra dozen hi security prisons and get rid of judges that focus on joe who didnt pay his tax license as opposed to some scum who has 50 convictions and isnt even of legal age to buy booze, getting free pass each time.

    What actually happened was the cops rocked up in their car, asked was there much taken, said "thats terrible" and drove off.

    Getting new cards and cancelling the old ones should have been the first thing you did that is good advice from the Guards.

    You did not suffer any injury in the cesspit that is our capital city.

    What did you really expect OP and by the way I am sorry your wallet was stolen but that is the reality of life in a city like Dublin.


    I am starting to hate Dublin city more and more...complete lack of respect among people. Can't let my guard down for a minute like...its not normal...if the guards took small crime more serious...things like this wouldn't happen as much....the fact that they don't care...makes the ones doing it feel invincible as well...recipe for disaster.

    Policing in this country is a joke. They're more interested in getting to the chipper than to a crime scene.

    Was assaulted a few years ago in a local nightclub. Turned around and a scumbag hit me a sly headbutt, knocked me clean out. There were at least 7 witnesses, two bouncers saw it, it was on CCTV. There was a Garda car outside so the bouncers said I should go over to them straight away to let them know what had happened. Tried to talk to them, the told me to get lost, that they have to be outside the club "in case something happens", I asked them is an assault came under something happening. They told me that if i didn't get away from the car they'd arrest me for a breach of the peace, and as my nose was bleeding, if I bled in the car on the way to the station they'd also charge me with damaging police property. Told me to phone an ambulance if I wanted a record of the incident happening that night and report it to my local station the next day.

    Next day, went to my local station, was told there was absolutely nothing they could do as it happened in a different town. Went to the other towns Garda station, finally got to speak with a Garda, explained what happened, gave him the bouncers names and numbers, the bar managers name and number, explained that there was full CCTV of the incident, gave him the guy who'd headbutted me name and address.

    His response was "Well what did you do?", I said nothing, I was ko'ed. He said, No to provoke it. Basically called me a liar and said he'd look into it. That was about ten years ago, still waiting.

    Saw your man a few weeks later and beat the absolute shyte out of him.[/quote

    Sometimes I really have no idea what they are getting paid for like...they just wander around a lot...take some notes( if your lucky) ...god like...they seem to get a bit annoyed if you are asking too much as well, but that was just bad out to be that nasty to you, no need for that like. To think they are the ones meant to help people I don't know its a scary city to me at this point. How can we rely on them? Yet self defense weapons are illegal apparently...I cannot even have pepper spray...complete joke.

    One time I got my card cloned at a chinese restaurant. After half hour that I payed the dinner, money started to be collected from Boston and Cape Town. After few days I discovered (went to cash at ATM but someone already cashed the 600 € limit a day). 2,000 € stolen that the bank refunded after few days. But the strange thing about all this story was when I went to the Garda, I was sure it was cloned at the chinese restaurant as I use my card only at tesco and lidl, and at the restaurant I had to insert my password two times, because the waitress did some mistake (she memorized my password). At the garda station they told me in other words just to f... off, that I must be happy enough that the bank would refund me the money.

    I am starting to hate Dublin city more and more...complete lack of respect among people. Can't let my guard down for a minute like...its not normal...if the guards took small crime more serious...things like this wouldn't happen as much....the fact that they don't care...makes the ones doing it feel invincible as well...recipe for disaster.

    Unfortunately this type of crime is not isolated to Dublin, it's a world wide epidemic but you have to be careful out there and be savvy and become more aware of those around you. Personal safety is your responsibility.

    Where out of curiosity was your wallet when it was stolen?
