Sadly Karen we just don't have the resources to send a police officer with her to collect a cat, we are stretched as it is,it would not been seen important enough, these days you are lucky if you get them to come and see you for a day or two should you be robbed,the sign of the times, too busy.

Also i think the woman would have not thought it necessary either, just a routine pick up of a kitty, although she did venture out when it was dark,not good, most of them don't do that, she should have taken someone with her,but i guess she just did not think about her own personal safety ,just that of the kitty's,poor kind hearted soul.
