My husband has just had to chase away a young man who had pulled the fuel line from under his scooter and was draining off the fuel. 2 hatchbacks (1 light/silver 1 dark possibly blue) pulled up opposite our place near Heber Primary school, the guys had got out of the darker car and started to steal the fuel, husband went out to investigate, when he asked the guy what he was doing brazenly and calmly replied "taking your fuel mate, 'cos I need it", after pulling out a smartphone and attempting to film them he bolted jumped in the car and both cars sped off towards lordship lane with their lights off.


Didn't get any pictures or footage of them sadly as it all happened within about 20 seconds.


The lighter of the two cars had some females in the back and there must have been at least one other person in the darker car as they left far too quickly for him to have been driving.


We called 101, two police officers came round within 20mins they took the deatails and gave us a ref number etc. No one expects anything to happen, but it needs reporting if only to raise awareness. Hence this post.


So if you can be extra vigilant and secure your scooter a little better tonight then please do. I'd hate this to happen to anyone else.

> No one expects anything to happen,


With your husband's identification and testimony, combined with the police being able to match those to the perpetrator, via the car's registration number, I'd have thought there was a fair possibility. Maybe less so if both cars are stolen.

    • You can make cider from a variety of varieties of apple.  If course the best is west country/SW Midlands which is predominantly cider apples, that can be so tart it knocks your head off.  But cider producers often add desert apples, and Breton and Normandy ciders are sweeter.  
    • Hi,  We are welcoming a puppy to our family in a couple of months, and since I'm new to the area, I'm looking for some local recommendations.  I am looking for the following:  Highly recommended vet  Groomers (they are a cavapoo, so will be a regular!)  Group puppy training classes  Thank you 🙂
    • I too am very sorry to hear this, taliax7. It must weigh heavily over you and your family. 
    • We did L-shaped conversion and put the bathroom in the middle so could be shared by both front and rear bedrooms and strongly recommend this. We'd stayed in places with ensuite bathrooms in front bedroom and didn't want kids / guests having to walk through front bedroom from back bedroom. All of our loft rooms feel spacious and have lots of light. You can add more roof windows and adding a side window in addition to rear window on back bedroom makes a huge difference to the feel and light. Think how you'll use the rooms and where the furniture will go; and pay attention to where you'll have reduced headroom as this catches lots of people out and having to make mid-build changes. Suggest view your neighbours lofts and see what you like and what you don't. Hope this helps
