    I've lived in one of those postcodes for the last 10 years or so. In the first 5 years we had three break-ins. One of which was a complete clear out of the house while we were on holiday. We then moved a couple of roads away and have had not a single break in in the past 5 years. So, giving it to just the first identifier is a little bit lame IMHO.

      That's where all the 'Professional Classes' live...

      Which is why it gets hit by the chavs I s'pose...
      I assume that's the case for Roundhay as well. It is a desirable area (at least when I last looked).

      When I lived in an "des. res." part of North Yorkshire, folks got hit by travelling thieves - from Geordie land if you lived near the A1, from Bradford and Leeds if you lived nearer those places.

        I used to live in Beckenham. Was fine then, wonder what's changed.

        PS That was a rhetorical question. Been there since too.

            That's because they come over the Runcorn bridge to rob everything in sight in Cheshire.
