What's changed is that it's all down to drugs. The little scum buckets just see easy pickings in stealing, and thus terrifying the people they target. lt's just away to get their next fix, they have not a moral in them.
Like Pendy mentioned there are no safe areas anymore, if you can't be near them, they'll travel to be near you. The future looks bleak.

i might be all on my own here but i believe in corporal punishment and hanging .and at the very least these young thugs should be named and shamed ,put them in the stocks in the middle of town and let the townfolk loose ,that would soonsort out the bullies ,(oops i will get off my soapbox now )

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

No grannyclaret you are quite right, why should these thugs get away with it when, poor innocent people have to live in fear for the rest of their lives??
Police couldn't give a monkeys anymore and like what was said earlier, no wonder the kids aint scared anymore of the police, because they have sussed onto the ''oh can't be bothered with the paper work'' attitude. It makes me sick, then someone gets killed and the police are appealing for joe public to get invovled and help with their job, but I wonder if we gave these thugs a good kicking if the police would then say ''eh cheers mate for helping with our job''.

They would probably look on it as an easy cop and arrest you too

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

Yeah probably fireman, when I was little I had alot of respect for the police (actually they terrified me) but as I have got older I have lost all faith in them, they don't make me feel safe anymore, if anything they scare the living daylights out of me for other reasons, probably because I know that they are more likely to arrest me (a law abiding citizen) than the yob stood next to me.

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

As someone who visits the elderly and disabled I know only to well how these scum target them,they are simply an easy victim,they won't put up much of a fight,if they report a theft etc most are unable to give propper discriptions and the criminals know that,I could tell you loads of horror stories of people being conned,robbed and frightend to death,:mad: all we can do is watchout for them and remember that one day we will be frail ourselves,I believe what comes round goes around,and they will get theirs!

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

I have been told that all the paper work involved in actually arresting a shoplifter makes it such a chore that your best bet is just take the stuff back of them and ask them to leave! Most only get a telling off at the Police station and then come back out to have another go!

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

Cut off their hands.

That would stop a lot of them from doing it in the first place, and they certainly wouldn't do it again

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

But then they would be classed as disabled and would be pleased that the taxpayer would be contributing to keeping them, and their habbits for the ret of their lives, and lets face it they would probably turn to drugs because of what those cruel members of society did to them.

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

TATTOO NICKING B''''''D on there head!! then they are not classed as disabled but everyone knows who they are;)

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

I really feel for the elderly and the sad fact is it will probably only get worse. I'm sure we were never as bad when we were youths, yes we gave the odd bit of back chat but wouldn't go too far because if they'd have knocked on our front door to repoprt our cheek to our Mum she would have hit the roof!!!

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

And thats not the only thing she would hit.

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

:eek: I know and she still would if we step out of line

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

If only, My mum died in November and I miss her a lot.

Re: elderly woman burgled in hospital area
 

lol thats soooooooooooo true!! that woman puts the fear of god in me sometimes (and thats just with the mum look that she does)
