owelly Posted January 22, 2005 Share Posted January 22, 2005 No, not about Hoopy getting married...... Some naughty monkey has stolen my trailer from off the back of my car. Mr Jackson has already had my crying my ears off at him but it still really hurts not to be able to drag it all over the place for no good reason ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ I wasn't too upset about all the stuff on it (gear boxes, cement mixer etc) but it was the best trailer ever. The local neighbourhood watch woman did just that. She watched the burglers take it off my car, wheel it down the road to outside her house and hitch it up to a waiting car and then drive off. She thought it was a bit odd 'cos it was 2.40 am. She even woke her husband up to tell him and he commented on then taking my mixer!! She did have the decency to come and tell me the followin afternoon. Dopey trout. Plod suspect 'travellers'. The plod have had one trailer go missing every night since November. There. Still don't feel any better. It was worth a try...... ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ ☹️ *mad* its only a game......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Know exactly how you feel. When a scroat spent 4 hours getting into my Escort Cossie then gave up trying to start it and towed it away. the local milkman thought he was an AA man! Police found it next day in said scroats garage - fully stripped. Said a man in a pub asked him to strip it. Only problem was he'd put the number plates.... wait for it.... in his dustbin.

owelly Posted January 23, 2005 Author Share Posted January 23, 2005 Myles, Hoopy is a very attractive sort I'm really piffed off with the little tinkers taking my trailer and I feel sick to my (plentiful) belly. Miss owelly had her last house burgled and to think the vagabonds were in the house is well freaky. I'm saving-up and searching for components to build a new one (trailer, not vagabond) but with a babbaloo on the way, miss owelly wants to spend all my pennies on small things for small blokey its only a game.........

Coose Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I heard on the radio the other day that the 'government' were reviewing the laws regarding people breaking into your house and how you could tackle them. They backed down though saying that you could still use 'reasonable force', which is what? If someone is breaking into my house/stealing my trailer I would expect them to be well aware of the consequences - you're gonna get clobbered by the heaviest thing I can find, simple as that!!! 😳 😳 😳 Should I be posting this upstairs and not down here?

rossybee Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 I've always thought of "reasonable force" as using something blunt i.e. no kitchen knives or the like to immobilise the bastards Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssscottish SsssssssssssssssssssssssssuperSsssssssssssnot!!! here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FH Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 ☹️ And yet another trailer goes the way of so many ☹️ Sorry to hear the news. We had ours stolen three years' ago despite hitch lock, police-spec wheel clamp, chain round tree. police said they knew where it probably was but it was too dangerous for them to approach the area When someone finds somewhere interesting and inexpensive to live, other than this Orwellian heap, please let me know 😳 (needs to have places to drive cars, otherwise Mr FH will be unemployed and the GRs will starve) 😳 FH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Normans_Ghost Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 fh When someone finds somewhere interesting and inexpensive to live, other than this Orwellian heap, please let me know I beleive that place to be rural France (at the moment) Mind you we don't have much crime out here. Maybe because there's too many shotguns in the area. Norman Verona, 1989 BDR 220bhp, Mem No 2166, the full story here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-B Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 FH writes police said they knew where it probably was but it was too dangerous for them to approach the area OK, let me get this straight. your the BiB, you have guns, you are paid to catch and retrieve criminals and there's an area too dangerous to go to 🤔 gis your badge number, and name + supervisor's name and phone number would have been out my lips faster than typing this ❗ what complete and total b*llsh*t, utter twaddle. 🙆🏻 that's why the Owelly's and my neighbours' criminals will never be caught. someone get a rope, i'll find the tree Steve B Big Black Beast^3 USA 2005: How the West Was Driven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normans_Ghost Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 Steve, it's worse than that. When they are caught they get a few hours community service which they never do. The people who thay are supposed to report to for this Cs never report the fact they don't turn up 'cause they don't want them anyway. And if they are reported for not turning up the Police are asked to bring them into court again. They did that in the first place! France, here I come. Watched with interest on the Metro station when the Police caught a pickpocket and laid into the guy with sticks and boots. Almost felt sorry for the poor bugger, till HM found her cigarette case had been lifted. I turned round so I could join in, but they were frog marching him off by then. Crime in this country will continue to rise until the courts are allowed to hand out suitable sentances and prisons are made a lot tougher than they are now. And I consider myself a leftie!

Violet Elizabeth Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Sorry to hear that 'welly. Watched with interest on the Metro station when the Police caught a pickpocket and laid into the guy with sticks and boots. Thats not the French police, thats the CRS. They are like the the Gestapo but without the cuddly side. They do the same thing at "demos" , but don't really care who they lay into and bundle into a van. If you see the CRS .. RUN !
