    Our area is so bad even the burglars are rubbish

    Found we had been burgled today - they left my expensive race bike but nicked the two rubbish bikes.

    They found our spare front door key in the shed and tried it in the back door.

    Don't they give the kids proper burglar lesons these days?

    I have been in touch with my security consultant - the type of guy who keeps a "weapon" in every room. I will be purchasing several legal bits and pieces over the next few days.

      I had a bike stolen when I was up at Oxford

      I was well p'd off - it was the first vehicle I had ever bought brand spanking new - decided to walk to the newsagent and found that the thieves had chucked it in a hedge, obviously not up to snuff

      I was pleased to get my bike back, but my pleasure was tainted with dissappointment that my pride and joy wasn't good enough to steal

      [edit]... and sorry for your loss, being burgled is a pain. Scrotes[/edit]

        Nail Boards is wot yer need. 500mm square bits of 12mm ply with several dozen 75mm nails hammered though and laid pointy side up with a piece of thin carpet over the top.
        The daft beggers usually spike themselves in one foot and slam the other one down to lift the spiked one off "Bingo" both feet.
        Simply select a suitable blunt object and follow the bloody trail of footprints to the intended impact area of the blunt object
        Confusion is a natural state of being

          When we first moved in to this house we were burgled a few times by the same guy once he was arrest red handed as he fled from our house.

          The last time he came out of prison he ended up doing the wrong house. Baseball bats and knee caps are not a good combination.

            Slight issue there with the children. I didn't tell you - besides my 3 kids my wife childminds for 2 others. The younget one is so careless that he went into a soft play area and came back covered in blood a minute later! He will often get exactly the same bruise doing exactly the same thing week in week out. Actually he should make a good local burglar when he grows up.

                    You are lucky that

                    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to BrilloPad again.
                    A whoring for rep is automatic -ve!

                    On the plus side you are all ok, insurance replaces most things except those that are irreplaceable
