Burglary last night!

[tbert33]

Well done falefel.... give that man a beer!!!
There are some right scum out there! Personally i think you did the right thing (only thing i would have done different was go out armed with some object). What a great neighbour you are!

Well done to Wendy too! I hope the bastard never forgets you and your lump of wood!:grin::grin::grin:

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

I HATE THE THIEVING SCUM BAGS!!!! :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

Well done on being a good neighbour!! :clap: :clap:

[mcscruff]

Well done. There really isnt many people who know their neighbours well enough to check that stuff out.

Got burgled my self about 18 months ago. They got away with just over £200 and did not cause any damage, just a mess where they looked for cash. The feeling of being violated is something I would not wish on anyone, OK maybe the scrotes who burgle others.

 

[falafael]

Thanks people, forensicss have been round the neighbours, and i have been requested to go to the police station in the morning, see some photo fits.

 

[BIGJIM72]

Well done the pair of you.It took a lot of guts to stand up to them in both cases.
Times are hard enough without this kind of opportunistic scum.
I don't have a baseball bat,but during the riots I cut myself a 3 foot length of holly trunk with a nicely shaped handle-a right caveman style club. It lives by the door,but thankfully I never have had to use it.

 

[BarnsleyBrewer]

Maybe we need more of this??? :thumb:

 

[DirtyCaner]

Well done Fal! You're a good neighbour, wish there was more like you!

And Wendy... good work, thats a *crackin* story

Once chased some junkie fecker off a random house as I was walking past. Wasn't even dark and he was just smashing the window. Soon legged it though.

Here's to the good guys!

That feeling never goes away sometimes D :cry:
When I was 16 (23 years ago) my dad was dying from prostrate cancer, I lived with him as we were 'divorced' and as I was at college, he used to leave the door 'on the latch' so I could get in as he was too weak to get up to answer it and I didn't have a key. One day whilst I was at college the scumbag neighbours let themselves in and basically looted the place (not that there was much to take) and he couldn't get out of his seat to stop it. He never told me, and 3 weeks later, 2 weeks after he passed away it happened again. They killed my pet birds/finches that were in a cage in the front room out of malice, once again whilst I was at college. On my way to call the police at the phone box (yes we didn't have a phone) one of the guys (who I knew had done it thanks to another neighbour) called out from a bench in front of the shops near the phone box..."you'll never stop us now your dads gone"
Rage is not the word...it's not even close...in fact it's far from close, even after all these years......it's one of those...if I ever meet him down a dark alley and no ones there.............as it happens about 10 years ago he fell down the stairs in a neighbouring block of flats and broke his neck (dead)....I'm not sorry.
I've little time for those who try to take from us who've earned the right to own what we do, if you break into my house and I'm in you'll get very, very, short shrift :nono:

 

[PD]

My lifelong job has been with the Force....I'm a strong individual ( mentally ) but I could cry at some of the stories I could tell you.
Having your home invaded is one of the very worst things that can occur to you, and especially your wife ( bless em ).
I can find no excuse to put forward in mitigation of the thieves actions.
There is no word to describe them.
Imagine the situation of attending a burglary on Christmas morning when all the kids presents have been taken from under the tree...its heart breaking indeed.

I've been thankful many times that the Police are not routinely armed in this country

 

[falafael]

UNBELIEVABLE!, They cam again last night, got in this time, beat the crap out the neighbour, this time there was 4 of them, and all i can say is, i did not expect to find out what i now know what they found in my neighbours!
Piddle, i think u may know!

 

[PD]

I can have a darned good guess.

 

[Cononthebarber]

Well done Fal, hope they get whats coming...I can't put into words how angry it makes me thinking about someone coming into MY home and nicking MY stuff! I work bloody hard for what I've got and to think there's complete a**eholes out there who think its ok to just take it! Grrrrr!!! It's never happened to me (or my neighbours to my knowledge) - touch wood - but if it did I hope I would do the same.

And well done Wendy! I guessing that bas*ard wont be back! :lol: No sympathy for him what-so-ever, if you you plan on breaking into someones home you have to expect to get something broken! Occupational hazard! :lol:

Bloody hell!

 

[BrewDan]

Arrest them and stick them on the front line in some very unfriendly country.

I hope they got what was coming to them!

 

[falafael]

I now have no sympathy with my neighbour, its just goes to show, you don't know what goes on behind closed doors, i just hope that they now get everything that they deserve! unreal is al i can say, the sheer stupidity of them!

 

[calumscott]

Well :hat: to you F for your well intentioned intervention the other night and count your lucky stars that the "perps" were diligent in their research and weren't one door out in their target...

WELL DONE m8 :clap: PS if you should happen to have a weapon handy when the thieving scum come calling you MUST NOT say to the police that you deliberately had that weapon for self defence, instead say that you were panicking and the bat,etc was only there because you were cleaning it/playing a game of rounders, cricket etc earlier in the day and it was the first thing you grabbed on the way through.
Otherwise you can be charged with having an offensive weapon with intent to wound (A deliberate act, the other way you can claim self defence) :whistle: I once disturbed some little gits trying to nick my motorbike from my house in the middle of the night, jumped out of bed grabbed a lump of wood and chased them down the road (only prob was I was completely starkers)!!! I think that was more scary than the bit of wood!!! (didn't catch them and the walk home was done very carefully)
