Urgent: boarding up after burglary

[alldownhillfromhere]

God, can you people not read? I found it odd that someone would go online and ask for someone to board up a window, rather than either a) doing themselves, b) asking a few other neighbours for help or c) using Google or the Yellow Pages. As it happens, no recommendations came in, so it was all a bit pointless, wasn't it?

And hey, I'd just been called an odious little sh1t and a heartless bastard, so being sarcastic about their abilities with English seemed like a good response.

Adtfh, could do with you on my road! Burglaries in ED remain consistent

When we were burgled I was lucky they had just forced the front door, no broken windows. Stupidly I had not double locked as was just nipping to the Lane and in the fifteen minutes I was gone the industrious thieves had disconnected and boxed up the PC, it was holding the door ajar when I returned.

I called the police but didn't want to risk giving the burglars more time so I shouted upstairs, could hear them rifling through rooms, that the police had been called and for them to GTF out if my house. Two young males ran down stairs shoved past me and legged it down the road. They got away with some cash but left everything else they'd put onto a duvet cover ready to whisk away, which was lucky as we would not have been insured because I had failed to properly secure the house.

Don't think trading insults is helpful - lighten up people.

Actually no, Chick Pea, you really don't want alldownhillfromhere on your road. I am pretty sure I know exactly who she is. If I were to say ASBO Croxted Rd, would that mean anything to you, alldownhillfromhere? If I'm right, and I'm positive I am, you are indeed an odious little shit and a heartless bastard.
