Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

I would be seriously tempted to have a walk around Fern Gore estate. I lived up there for many years and its surprising just how many stolen items was fenced off in that area.

Sorry if any decent people from that area post on here, i am not calling you all, just the minority.

Sorry to hear the news Willlow;I am amazed more stuff doesn't go "missing" when people are told to leave their yard gates open for the Council to collect fridges,cookers etc.Esp since the waiting list is now 6 weeks!

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

wonder if the thieving git is reading this website ,,,,,,,,,,,,,hope he/she goes under a bus on that bike.....oops perhaps i shouldent have said that...sorry willow

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

Sorry to hear about what happened Willow, Have you got more detail about the bike any other colours, any writting on it any lights on it? I dont think i will see the bike down here in Preston but it might help those in Accy to spot it better.

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

Sorry to hear of this Willow,on a cautionary note beware of a return visit.This sometimes happens after people have replaced articles that have been stolen!

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

What happens if you have dogs in your back yard and perhaps work shifts

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

I think you're probably right there. We are already anticipating a return visit hence Busman yesterday making the yard less accessible.

As long as it isn't Busman's bus they go under or the police will be thinking he did it on purpose!That thought had crossed my mind too about them maybe reading this website which is why I'm not going into detail about other preventative measures being taken. I know it's not a charitable sentiment but if they cut themselves trying to get the chain off all I can say is serves em right.



It's a gents 21" Mountain Bike. Navy blue in colour with "Hurricane" in red letters on the main frame.
Shimano Index 18 speed grip shift gears (incorporated onto handlebars - not thumbflick)
Front & rear lights.
Front & rear reflectors. Reflectors on wheels.
26" wheels - tyre size is 26 x 1.95 , still got good tread on the tyres.

That's about it really.

I don't think you can get HBC for anything, because the duty of care doesn't extend that far. I won't leave the back gate open, even if it means HBC can't collect my bin. We have a good neighbour who does see to the bin for us, but I do worry about the gate being left unlocked.

If you do get a dog in the backyard, be sure you put up a notice, otherwise you will be liable if some little toerag gets savaged whilst breaking in! You could try getting one of those gadgets that fit on a door handle, and when the handle is tried, all hell breaks loose in the form of barking from what sounds like a very large dog.

Why not have Busman in the yard from time to time - it sounds as though he would happily savage any intruders! I'll be happy to hold his coat.

graham where are you? would love a council response to this problem.

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

Never mind Graham, where the flippin eck is Anne Scaife? I'll bet she is not as reticent when it comes to drawing her allowances. And, for that matter, where is our resident Crime Czar and his faithful sidekick?

Have you reported the theft to the Police, Willow?

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

i got my bike stolen from my old houses terraced back garden a few years back so after huntuing up and down for it after about 3 hours we went to the police station thinking that would be the last place it would be but apparently they have now learnt to catch more than a cold and found it being ridden home my a drunk bloke so they took the bike form him and i got it back so it is still worth having a look at the cop shop, but the thing was they couldnt arrest him as they didnt take his details so when i reported it stolen they came and got finger prints but didnt have anyone to match them with!!!!!

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
 

best time to ring council to collect bulky items from back yard is just before an election they came the next day!!!!!!! Sorry to hear about the bike willow there really are some sh**s around

Re: Thieving *!*%"!*& S !!!
