A few weeks ago my bicycle was stolen from the shed in our back garden - chatting to a neighbour we found they had suffered an identical crime a couple of weeks earlier - we both live in corner houses, the side gates were locked so the thief had to climb over the (high) wall, and in both cases they only took one (the better, of course) bike, so maybe it's just one person. So watch out if you think your bike's safe - these thieves could be back. Landcroft/Goodrich Road area. Sorry the warning's a bit late, I'm new to the forum.

Sorry to hear that. I've lost so many bikes over the years that I know keep mine indoors, although living on the 2nd floor of a building with no garden makes this something of a necessity.


It wasn't you that put up the signs on your garden fence was it?


If so I don't suppose that it worked and the thief was made to feel so guilty that the cycle was returned?

Any lawyers on list? How does the law stand on measures to protect your property? Is it down to what is 'reasonable' Crushed glass is effective but electrickery perhaps not! Personally I'd run a cable on top of the wall connected to a car battery (as farmers have done for years)I'd assume conecting it to the national grid might cause 'issues' shall we say

    • A huge shout-out to Andy! He’s helped us several times now and is an absolute gem. He doesn't just do the easy jobs; he finds solutions to the difficult, non-obvious problems that others might miss. He is very hard working, incredibly friendly, great with pets, and always leaves the place better than he found it. 10/10! 
    • Here to add my voice to those praising Temi. She just painted my dilapidated home office in ED and did a fantastic job in just two days in a much lighter colour, including woodwork, damp blocker and filling holes. She's efficient, on time and I barely heard a peep out of her; she just got on with the job. I recommend her wholeheartedly. 
    • The residents & families of the estate are getting parking fines,  out of the blue , the residents parking system waa changed from Southern to Sippi with cameras put up in the car park and people issued with fines entering the estate for more then 10 minutes , families can no longer pick up or drop off family due to a new 10 minute wait fine. Residents are appealing with Sippi and Southern as there was no letters to consult of a parking change,  new waiting times or fines, delivery drivers are getting fines everyday,  if you get a fine,  appeal it, there is no signage up to say about parking fines or waiting time
    • Threads that devolve like this should be moved to the Lounge, so the 'comedy' can continue in an appropriate vacuum.
