I Am Very Very Angry
 

I can believe what has happend last night.

I was in bed with my fiance, when her phone goes of, its 4am so any call at this time must be important.

Anyhow its her sister, who goes on to tel her that her granmother who lives in Church and is 88 years of age has just been woke in her bed by a masked intruder asking her where her money is.

The skum bag had broken in via the back window, searched the property and when he couldnt find anything he though he would try and intimidate stuff out of her.

Thankfully she talked him down, and screemed, this made him leave in a hurry, hopefully leaving DNA on the broken glass.

I mean FFS what is this place coming to she is 88 yrs old, she couldnt harm a fly, now she is left with a busted window (im popping down to secure soon somehow) and the threat he may retrun at a late date.

Angry doesnt sum how I feel at the moment I would just love to catch this scum bag and **** him up.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hope they catch the piece of filth and lock him up. How's your Gran now ?

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Its my fiances Nan.

She is not to good to be honest, shook up, she like 88 and been conned a few times already this year by the door knock scammers (the one who distract whilst one ransaks threw house).

Im going down myself as soon as a mate whos a window fitter comes with his stuff so we can at least make the property secure.

Its like shes a target, thats what winds me up the most, I would say she has been a victim of crime over 4 times this year, its a joke:mad: . I have a suspishion (SP) that its a group of the same people who keep trying it on, thinking she has lots of cash around the house, I mean she like 4ft something so no threat to anyone.

Its just lucky that nothing worse happened and the intruder left, without casing any pysical (SP) harm.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Makes me sick.:(

I hope they manage to catch the scumbag, and that they give him more than a slap on the wrists if they do, or a bit of litter picking up.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

What scumbags!!! Hope Shes ok now.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I hope she’s feeling stronger and comfortable soon, I hope and pray she’s able to remain in her own home. If they have DNA it should only be a matter of time if the bastard is already known, If he’s not, it can only a matter of time before he turns up. Although it would be much better if you can find the ****er yourself and pat his hands, wrists and elbows with a nice bit of Yew.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

i hope they catch the bastard and also hope he gets a judge not affraid to hand down a maximum penalty

filth is all i can say i hope one day this person breaks into the wrong house and gets well deserved hiding

my mother got broken into a while ago and for over a year kept all the windows and doors locked in fear even through the hot summer as she was affraid to be alone in the house

the guy who burgled her D.B is a well known theif to the police and he eventualy got caught but also admited to a lot more burgularies so that he couldnt be tried for them seperatly when he got back out and his scentence was a pittance


hope she gets over her ordeal soon these scumbags dont care what teh after effects are especialy to the elderly

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

What a despicable crime Mr D ... the worst nightmare, can only imagine the fear she went through.

I sincerely hope that this piece of cow dung is brought to justice and punished severely for this crime. Would feel as you do, and wish to do all sorts of nasty things to this guy if it were one of my relations and sod the law. Let her know that there are people on here that are thinking about her >>> xx

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

:mad: disgraceful. Hope they catch the coward and soon

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

OMG how terrifying to wake up to that!!! :mad:


I hope this ddoesn't knock her confidence........it happens sooooooo many times.:(

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Thanks for all your kind words.

She is taking it well, but it must be bad for her though probably putting on a brave face.

The police have been great though. they secured the window found 3 blood samples and a foot print so hopefully they might stop this scumbag before he trys again.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Oh I hope they catch the evil tw@t bag!!!!

Keep us posted Mr.D

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

The poor woman.
I hope somebody is prepared to stay with her for the next few days in case the evil scum decides to come back.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I usually post crap but thats not good at all mate. Hope they catch them and remove all thier fingers.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

:mad: :mad: :mad: Hope they catch the scum bag with his DNA cos this low life must be on the database!!! Grrrr stuff like this makes me soooooooo angry:mad: :mad: :mad:

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

So sorry to have had this incident happen Mr. D! What a horrible thing for anyone to have to have gone through but especially someone this old. At this age, the elderly should be served with honor, dignity, and respect but nowadays many (esp. the younger generation) see them like potential targets or "throw-away objects!"

I know many of you are against the freedom we have with our guns but does my heart good when this happens and the thief/rapist gets their head blown off. I'm sure it makes our "scumbags" think a bit before they go into a house or apartment.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I know where you are coming from, it might act as a deterent from actually committing the crime, but if the scumbag thought Granny had a gun under her pillow, wouldn't the scumbag just take a gun as well?

After all if you are asleep having a gun would make no difference, you wouldn't have time to use it.

Although it has increased gun crime is still relatively rare in this country. If Granny was allowed to keep a gun it would just mean more of the criminals would carry them too.

That said, I'm sure we'd all like to take a pot shot at the cowardly piece of **** who broke into this elderly woman's house.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Yeah, you're right Rindy about the criminal then needin a gun. That's why I said it does my heart good when it works out right. There are many times when bad things happen in those situations like kids or spouse being accidentally shot. I guess I was noting a "perfect (said VERY tongue-in-cheek) world!"

Over here, it seems many break-ins are done when either the house is empty and these thiefs are just looking for a quick steel. Rarely have a weapon. The rapist type seem mostly to be armed with knives. I remeber one up in Maryland where the had a serial rapist. The stay at home Moms (who were being targeted) were prepared. One shot the ****** with a crossbow! Again, warms the heart eh?

Brian

Tough go in General today eh Rind?

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I cant begin to imagine what she must be going through, I hope she continues to be ok and I hope the police bother to try and catch him!

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I just hope they manage to find them and put them away. Its awful this picking on a woman who's 88. I hope shes ok mr d.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

mrd i,m speechless, and sickened hope they catch the bast*** soon, only thing i fear is if its a smackhead or summat similar they will probably give the turd rehab or something utterly stupid,i hope not.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hope she's feeling a bit better now. My mum's 88 and lives with us and we still worry about what might happen to her while we're out at work during the day.

Let's be honest though, we're all wishing terrible punishments on this piece of scum, but it won't happen. If he's caught he'll get a community service order or maybe a light prison sentence (with early release, of course). Perhaps, Greg Pope would like to come on here and explain why his government are so weak and spineless on the law and order issue?...but don't hold your breath!

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hope your fiancee's gran is ok under the circumstances & hope they get this evil scumbag & serve him some proper justice:mad: Mr D.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

What a truly awful thing to happen to your fiance's gran. The fact that she has been targeted 4 times this year probably mean that your suspicions are correct MrD. I hope they catch the git who did this, but I worry about the pathetic punishments that these people receive. :mad:

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

The one thing the perps hate is the thought that their potential victim might be armed. Countless crimes are prevented every year because people defend themselves in a variety of ways. I take to heart the advice of Annie Oakley, who thought all women should sleep with a loaded gun next to their bed. I carry concealed, too. Never leave home without my Mr. Sparky.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Thanks again for you warm comments.:)

She is still a bit shook up, but getting over the ordeal the best she can.

Its on the front page of the telegraph today.

Will hopefully make others awaire of the possible threat and to be a bit more vigalent, especially if you are elderley and alone.

Hopefully the DNA results will be done soon and the scum can be aprehended, but we all know that the punishment will be mild.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Hi there i hope you catch the scum bag and call the police and if they do get him they want to cut is hands off then he would not do it again and i think thats if you do the DNA you will catch him .

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

its damm disgusting is this we really arn't safe in our own homes with these scumbags lurking......do give nan all our best wishes for a speedy recovery ...god bless her .

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

What the hell makes these ***** think they are hard men and that pensioners have loads of money stashed about the house? Glad she is fine if somewhat shocked. Even if the scum is caught she will always remember it and have a lingering doubt if she is really safe.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Would you arm your children as well, given the same rationale, that you think carrying a gun would lessen the chances of them being a victim of crime?


I hope the lady who suffered this frifghtening crime is feeling better, and doesn't let these scumbags spoil her independance.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Well they have caught the offender thanks to science.

He is awaiting magistrates in the morning who will probably reffer to crown court, who knows what he will get.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

ooh i hope she is allright ,things like that can realy shake an old lady.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

i hope they throw the book at him

b....rds like him want stringing up and have the s.it kicked out of them

hope ur nans ok

Re: I Am Very Very Angry

Most definitely.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Just read the report in the Observer Mr. D. and she looks a lovely lady and comments how well her grandaughters have been looking after her over Christmas. The Lions have also given her a neck pendant that calls the calling centre should she have any further trouble.

Anyway, seems this b4stard lives on the same street and is called COLIN HALSTEAD. He at least has had the decency to plead guilty.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Looks like he is going down as well, sentencing at crown court.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

How long you reckon then lancsdave? have no knowledge of all this ... but if had been my Grandma, well .....
:behead:

Sorry, not really that cruel, but this thread made my blood boil. :mad:

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Depends on his record. Problem is that he has only pleaded guilty to burglary. Frightening an old lady in her bed in the middle of the night doesn't seem to be a criminal offence :mad:

Hopefully he will has an extensive record and will go down for a few years

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

They caught him. Excellent! Please update when a sentence is handed down. Hope it's not a slap on the wrist.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

How old is this creep and does he have a previous record? Awful that it turned out to be a neighbour.:mad:

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Didn't say Willow (unusually !) .. but all will be revealed. Colin isn't a name you would have given to anybody under 30 though, is it ??

Think, as Lancsdave mentioned, probably not taken into account that he could have frightened an elderly lady, (and thank goodness no consequences), is not taken into consideration. I think it should be taken into consideration if burglars go into a property knowing someone is there, and high risk of confrontation and possible attack on the victim when challenged.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I suspect if he didn't have previous he wouldn't be up for sentencing at Crown Court for a first time burglary offence.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

you suspect wrong dave unless the law has changed with a Burgalry charge the magistrates usually say they havent enough power to sentence them (used to be 6months max) so they remand them to the crown/sessions etc for trail irrelavant of wether they have previous or not, the upside of that is the turds more chance of getting a lagging cos as hes pleading guilty theres no jury to con its just down to the judge. i,m assuming that is its a Burgalry charge? for some strange reason Breaking and Entering is not viewed as serious in the eyes of the law-- beats the hell out of me.;)

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

No doubt some deal has already been struck for the 'guilty' plea, and his legal freebie representative will make the scumbag sound like a misguided Archangel David, you will then get the 'mamby pamby' probation report "I think this poor deprived young man will benefit from a community sentence". Oh how wrong I hope I am.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

Thanks for your kind words.

I was thinking of naming earlier, but no need now.:)

We can hope.

I will keep you updated

I believe he is 22 years old.

The support she has received has been superb, the lions where great and hopefully she will have a quite time in 2007 & onwards.

Re: I Am Very Very Angry
 

I'm sure we all wish her a happy and safe New Year


....and the scrote who attacked her rots in hell.
