[QUOTE]Police in the Western Isles have pledged to tweet every incident they deal with over the weekend.
The marathon online event started at about 09:45 on Friday, when officers on the islands informed their 1,800 followers that they were carrying out speeding enforcement in Stornoway.
Soon after, they said two motorists had been given speeding tickets.
Other tweets described how officers were investigating theft and vandalism incidents.
It is thought to be the first time a police local area command has used their Twitter feed in this way since the creation of Police Scotland last April.
Western Isles Area Commander, Ch Insp Gordon Macleod, said: "We want to give the public an insight into the modern-day policing of the Western Isles.
"We already use our page for appeals, traffic information, weather warnings and display some of the work our officers do within the community.
"Between Friday 21 and Sunday 23 February, our page will show real-time activity, from emergencies and crimes committed to random callouts."
The Western Isles have one of the lowest crime rates in the UK.[/QUOTE]

"Chocolate lab and owner now reunited"
there was a good ending
Isn't this just as bad as tweeting about when you leave your house? Clever minded criminals could monitor the police's tweets and be able to commit crimes when the force is at it's busiest?

If it moves and it shouldn't, duct tape.
It it doesn't move and it should, WD40.
All you need for DIY.

There should be an extra line added. WD40 can get things moving, but its not an actual lubricant. Once you get things moving with WD40, you should always apply some form of real lubricant (white lithium grease is a nice general use lubricant,) to insure that it will keep moving

Even if it doesn't need it. Hell, my house can be seen from space if you shine a blacklight on it.
