Sorry about your burglary and your car...


This may help cheer you up...



Back in 1982 I had a Skoda tha had rusted away. The MOT ran out as did the TAX. The council put a notice on it

saying I had 2 weeks to get it Taxed or it would be towed away.


After a couple of days it was gone. I called the council but they said they had not taken it yet, but was due to.


I called the Police and told them my car had been stolen.


They asked me what make of car it was ?


I told them it was a Skoda. and they said. ....


'Skoda?? They don't count.'


Honest. you could not make that up.


Never saw my car again..

When our house was burgled a few years ago they didn't fine anything worth stealing so made off the with keys (Mercedes - 3 Mercs parked outside, all but one - ours - an SLK - ours being an A Class - would have loved to have seen the look on their faces). They proceeded to empty two other houses in our street - into our car. The car was found 2 weeks later parked in a resident only road in Wandsworth but only came to the attention of the authorities because it was parked illegally and was going to be towed. We were sadly reunited with the car we were hoping to upgrade with the insurance money!!

This happened to me once (not in ED). I came home to find the front door kicked in and the whole house gone through, drawers opened, mattresses looked under (!) and not one thing missing :))


Clearly they weren't into books or vinyl (it was a long time ago .....) :))

    • Defo, where are you based so I can collect?
    • There is no other way than to move out. I am in such a situation myself where our neighbours are complete assholes. They breached the Covenants and when we pointed it they said to take them to court if we want.  Unfortunately, they have made our life miserable and we have to move out.    What helped in our situation is having a calm conversation face to face. It only happened after they tasted their own medicine(i know it's mean but nothing else helps).   I know it's unfair but better move out and prioritise your mental health. 
    • Thank you so much for the reply. Jeffery turned up a couple of hours ago. I edited title to say found but somehow it didn't save. Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting this sighting... even if it didn't turn out to be Jeff.  Jeff came running down the street like a bat out of hell and ran into the house. Never been so relieved. Mind you i've been up and down the roads shouting his name out all day. Even in Wingfield street. 🤗
    • I saw a smallish black cat outside 1 Wingfield Street just now.  I am not convinced it was Jeff, the eyes look a little different.
