Opened the door to the police this afternoon. They wanted to know whether I'd answered the door to a couple last week because they robbed someone in my street. I'm in Kelvington Road but I'm sure they aren't inclined to limit themselves to this side of the Rye.


The man is his mid to late 30's, the woman appears to be in her 20's. They claim to be neighbours with a problem with their water supply. They ask the householder whether they've noticed the same problem, then the female keeps the householder distracted while the other goes on the rob. They appear to be targeting older people.


Just be on your guard and if you have any elderly neighbours, please let them know.

This is funny because last week I answered an Ad on the forum for a Juicer, I went to collect it with my girlfriend, we knocked on the door and the guy took a minute to answer, we went in and within seconds there was another knock at the door and it was plain clothes police...they thought we were this couple, apparently they've been targeting older people in the area.


The Juicer is fantastic ;-)

    • Awful. A Google search came up with this, but will he check his office email over Christmas? Maybe worth also contacting local councillor? 'To contact Southern Housing's CEO, Paul Hackett, you can try his direct email, [email protected], or use the general contact email [email protected], as well as calling their main number, 0300 303 1066, for general inquiries or to be directed to the executive level.' Also, from the website: https://www.southernhousing.org.uk/latest-news/2025/contacting-us-over-the-festive-period   'Contacting us about an emergency? If you have an emergency outside of the above times over the festive period, such as severe flooding, an uncontainable leak, gas leak, complete electrical failure or lift breakdown, please call us on 0300 303 1066' I hope it is sorted out soon.
    • Dawson Heights again  2 lifts out of order at ladlands block Christmas Eve so of course the 🛗 will not be repaired tomorrow Christmas Day or Boxing Day or when how do elderly or mothers with children and prams and food and presents get to the floors and with the 10 minutes you get to drop off  to park and not get a Pcn fine and delivery food to relatives who can’t leave their house unbelievable Southern housing does any know email address of Coe of southern housing 
    • Sorry but I think it's best if people just check things for themselves when they buy things. In three shops/restaurants (from some years back) I just avoid the places concerned, as in all three  cases I was pretty sure it wasn't a genuine mistake, and in one place  it happened more than once and usually late at night.
    • Sorry Sue - me again. This has been on my mind all day, it's a big bug bear of mine. If you don't mind - please can you private message me some of these shops so I can cross reference / add to my AVOID list.  Thanks in advance. Let's make sure this doesn't happen this Christmas, particularly as we head into sales season. Even more problematic in my experience.
