Slightly further off the off-topic, but we had a van stolen from an industrial estate in London during the weekend of 13/14 May.
It was picked up on an ANPR camera on 17 May, the info was relayed to a WPC on the beat nearby and she caught up with it in traffic, and arrested the driver!
It did take half a day of running around from one police station to another, and then to the pound in South Mimms (plus £200+), to get it back and then it turned out it had been rear-ended at some time during its absence.
