milliardo Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Got one of these lovely, reassuring cards through my letterbox yesterday. Are they just scaremongering and treating my street as a 10 mile radius, or has one actually happened in my street? I say that because I haven't seen any Police on our street for quite a while, except for last week when they were at commercial premises a fair way from our street, and it makes me a little uncomfortable at the thought of some scallywags traipsing through my garden.

milliardo Posted February 20, 2013 Author Share Posted February 20, 2013 McDonalds perchance? No, no, a medical centre. Didn't see any damage to it, but there was a police van and a couple of Police cars outside, so made the very vague assumption that someone had done a not very good job at getting at the paracetamol in the pharmacy. It's not on our street though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It normally means there has been a break-in on your Street, we have had break-ins on our Road and we have had cards put through our doors Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locksmith2 Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Such a sad thing to have pop through your door at point in time but i wouldnt take it as scare mongering but pf you been made aware of what is going on around your home times have changed again and not for the better im affraid but this is the sorry state we are all forced to be aware of eyes and ears open people and dont leave your doors or windows unlocked even when you are home unless you are in that room and please dont leave your keys in the doors or on sight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Surely the police time would be better spent investigating the original crime rather posting pointless pieces of card through peoples door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiya , I'm not sure which area you live in but S8 and S2 are being targeted by the robbing scrotes at the moment, we got done a couple of weeks ago , and I know of a fair few others in these areas who have also been either robbed or attempted break in's.The police are trying to warn people , it's not a nice situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the problem ? Surely better to be safe than sorry, or would you rather not know ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geared Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Is it a genuine police card asking for information tho? Reason I ask is a friend of mine used to sell burglar alarms, he'd check out the local paper to see if any burglaries had been reported on, then head to that area with leaflets informing people of burglars operating in the area and saying to be vigilant. A week later he'd go door to door and people would be falling over themselves to buy his gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
