"Police to pose as burglars in the middle of the night in bid to cut break-ins"

I cannot be bothered to point out the stupidity of this policy as reported in The Mail that:

"Police officers are going to pose as burglars in a bid to get householders to properly secure their homes.

People whose residences are an easy target could be woken in the middle of the night by officers trying windows and doors.

The initiative, code-named Operation Golden, is being launched in a bid to cut break-ins.

It is being trialled by Cheshire Police, who say residents who fall foul of their checks will be roused with a lecture from officers on what they could have lost."

So police officers are going to creep around houses checking doors and windows, that sounds a great idea, not!
