Urgent: boarding up after burglary


kjcroft

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
