nashoi Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I do wish people would be less cynical about crime on this forum. Over the last couple of months I have become a victim of a clever scam whilst out shopping. Don't be naive enough to think it couldn't happen to you.Here's how the scam works:Two seriously good-looking voluptuous 20-21 year-old eastern european girls come over to your car as you are packing your shopping into the boot. They both start cleaning your windscreen, their breasts almost falling out of their skimpy tops in a most lascivious fashion. When you thank them and offer them a tip, they'll say 'No' and instead ask you for a lift to another supermarket , in my case Sainsburys on Dog Kennel Hill.You agree and they both get in the backseat. On the way, they start undressing, and both get completely naked. Then, when you pull over to remonstrate, one of them climbs over into the front seat and starts crawling all over your lap, kissing you, touching you intimately, and thrusting herself against you, in the meantime the other one steals your wallet!I've now had my wallet stolen on October 4th, 9th, 10th, twice on the 15th, 17th, 20th, 24th, and 29th. Also November 1st, 4th, 6th, 10th, 14th, 17th and twice yesterday. I fear this will just keep happening unless the police can stop them soon.Edited to say them stop them, not me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

v_the_gelfling Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Hmm, not sure if crime is 'rising' in ED but, being viewed by many as a 'wealthy' area it doesnt surprise me that it is seen as a 'rich pickings' kinda place. Whether people come from other areas specifically, well, its possible, but, I would imagine there are plenty of people in the vinicity already who know where to traget. ED has not always been such a gentrified place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 Compared to London in general I don't think Ed is a wealthy area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no Hampstead but people on the breadline are certainly fewer in number. Dagenham didn't have a shop that sold ?15 colanders last time I looked.

My mate got kidnapped by a gang in Longsight and taken to a bank machine to empty out his bank account. They then gave him a lift to his house, where they proceeded to nick absolutely everything he owned. Amazingly, he laughs about it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebestnameshavegone Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 I worked at Oddbins in Didsbury for a time. It was ironically the most dangerous branch to work in. We got done over loads. Anyway, er, I guess we're straying off topic (Admin, be great to have a dedicated 'Manchester' section where the 3 of us who used to live there can natter on incessantly, cheers) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it is more closely-linked to Nissan Figaro density in a given area. http://modculture.typepad.com/photos/uncategorized/nissan_figaro_1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brendan Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 Nah the Nissan Figaro index may well describe ED by quantifying the amount of people who would like to be seen as interesting by having one of those cars that look old but aren?t and who probably don?t posses the taste or ability to recognise and/or seek out a real classic. Wealthy people have a Bentley in the garage (which rarely emerges) and a ten year old Ford Fiesta parked on the drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legalbeagle Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 HB - I have done some investigating for you and have discovered the chop2pot chopping board. It uses the latest technology in polypropylene living hinges, and when the handle is squeezed the board folds into a chute to guide chopped and diced ingredients into the pot. It's made by Joseph x2 as well and costs ?14.95. Is this is the one you bought? Readers deserve to know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
