Theft from rear garden in Therapia Road

[Tylertoes]

On Boxing night someone jemmied the block of spikes on top of the gate to our back garden & climbed over and stole our bikes from the shed and rear garden. Our neighbour has security lights that would have been activated but they were clearly determined and not put off ! I believe we are the 3rd house in the street this month alone, please be vigilant.

That's terrible! Especially as it's the 3rd house in your street. Hope you get your bikes back but it's highly unlikely.

What have the Police said?

[Tylertoes]

They are investigating.

I'm also in Therapia and one of my housemates had a bike stolen from my back garden over Christmas.

I hope you have reported it to the Police ? They are scum bags...... The thieves not the Police !

I reported my son's bike theft to the Police late Summer. They were very good at the time, taking details etc. but then all of a sudden received a CALL phone call on my phone just before Christmas. One of those phone calls that you're not sure about but don't want to ignore?

Spoke to somebody who said that "due to mis-communication etc. etc. and somebody their end not seeing it through, then the case was now closed".

At the time I was busy looking after children etc. and just agreed with them.

[Tylertoes]

Well I'm sure they have better things to do, I'd rather then investigate more serious matters than my two bikes & patrol the area more often, hopefully put these sort of people off.

Sorry to hear about your bike thefts.It must have been an unpleasant and awful experience.

Burglars these days don't seem to stop at anything, and nothing seems to put them off, if their determined enough.

I do hope they get caught and sent to prison.

The British Transport Police were investigating son's bike theft not the actual Police but if this low level crime is closed so easily then thieves will just carry on and surely this just escalates to home burglaries etc.?

When my son asked station staff at ED that night about his bike they said it was happening at the station all the time.
