Hello


So upset and angry to say we were burgled yesterday - 18th March 2014.

Numerous electronics, their cables and other items stolen. It's a truly horrible feeling so I'm hoping that posting here will help people be even more vigilant.


Of course all windows & doors in our flat were locked, but the sash window was forced.


PLEASE

- never ever leave your premises with even a window ajar

- have restrictive locks and screws fitted to sashes so they can't be fully opened

- hide any high value items away. People are looking through windows

- always look out for neighbours and question any unusual activity. Someone was in our garden, on a main road, forcing a big window open with tools in broad daylight

- If burglar alarm goes off, yes it's annoying, but please check it out


A few months ago we had an Eastern European male repeatedly ring our doorbell during the day who liked startled when we answered and gave a very rehearsed excuse. So don't think "it'll never happen to little old me" - it does!

I'm so sorry to hear this whiterose , I was burgled a couple of years ago and it is truly awful . I'm on belvoir road and I've noticed how many people are around due to the new road surfaces being put down . Loads of strangers easy I would think to blend in ! I don't know what part of Underhill road you are but we've just started a new neighbourhood watch and were informed of a burglary yesterday at this end of Underhill/ belvoir . Just wondering if it was the same one ?

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
