Good neighbourly work. Bit concerned that description information may have been shared. Would that be considered to be corroborated evidence? Couldn't it affect the reliability of evidence? Perhaps someone in the know can inform. This thread for me highlights the importance of good neighbours, the importance of accurate descriptions when posting regarding perpetrators of crime, and personal safety issues. We can't stop the crimes, we can only do all we can to protect each other from injustice.

Thanks. No problem re posting descriptions. Both me and my neighbour gave descriptions to the police right from the start, independently, without each other's knowledge. Newspapers often give descriptions of perpetrators before they are found, which can lead to their arrest.

Well, I can now announce an update to burglary in Oglander Road. He pleaded guilty in court yesterday and will be sentenced on 9 March. His name is Tesfa Amlak Jones (and yes, I'm allowed to say that as he has been convicted). The police told me my evidence helped convict him and they will tell me what he gets, so I'll let you know. However, don't all applaud at once, as the reason he was caught was due to an eagle-eyed resident of Pellatt Road who phoned the police while he was in a property there and he was caught in the act. He had also burgled several other properties in other roads that week. So for once, a result, and this particular spate of burglaries has been halted, until the next one...

Well done both of you.

Well done buddug for posting on here. Not a very pleasant experience when someone comes to your private home with bad intentions. Makes you feel vulnerable. So you have been incredibly kind and good spirited by posting on here. Be careful chasing people though, but I love your style. As for the comments, I have read the entire thread and the comment made to you after you kindly put out a warning was incredibly passive aggressive and arrogant, so again, well done you for standing up for yourself and well done to those that supported you. It was completely unnecessary to ask you in such a way why you hadn't called the police, instead of asking if you had. They are very different ways of expression. And I do not care if they started the forum or how popular they are, it was mean when you've been through such an unpleasant experience. And as for Sue...well!

Anyway, well done. Stay safe. And thank you for the warning my lovely xx

Why, thank you, Mistyblue! And Jennys.

As for Sue ... Well, what?

And what is your reason for rehashing the part of the thread which led to many comments being deleted by admin?
