old rooster Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) My 80 year old aunt was sitting in her car drinking a cup of coffee in Waitrose car park (Buckingham) when a young white guy came up to the car and knocked on her side window. She wound the window down and he asked her how to get to Cambridge from there, he had an Eastern European accent. She explained how to get there by bus and he then walked quickly away, a second guy appeared from behind her car and both walked off together. Aunt then went to the Tesco store in the town to get a few more bits and pieces only to find when she took out her purse that all her credit cards had been stolen. She reported it to police who helped her to cancel the cards, apparently the pair have been operating in the area and police trying to catch them. A while later she went to Tesco again and as the disabled spaces were all occupied had to park a bit further away. As she pulled up a guy, again white with Eastern European accent shouted across from his car that she had hit his car, he tried to encourage her to get out of her car to go and discuss the damage but she said again that she hadn't hit him. Had the presence of mind to get out her mobile phone and pretend to make a call then told the guy not to worry as the police were on their way and would sort it all out. Hearing that he started his car and shot out of the car park so another thieving scam attempt. Bottom line it is a disgrace that these thieving, parasitic scum are targeting the elderly and vulnerable people!! They shouldn't have to spend their lives in fear of this sort of attack, it really stinks!! If you have elderly friends or relatives do warn them of this sort of thing.

aris Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I'm on our local neighbourhood watch mailing list, and every week the local PCSO mails about some distraction theft like this from perpetrators with an 'eastern European accent'.

aris Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Undoubtedly a few rotten apples who see Britain as easy pickings. I work with many eastern Europeans, and they are bloody clever with a good work ethic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old rooster Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Aunt is OK, pretty tough trio of sisters, her my late Mother and the other sister but law abiding people really shouldn't have to put up with being preyed on in this vile and cynical manner. No thought whatsoever is given to the potential psychological effects this could have on such vulnerable folk! Less robust pensioners could be really badly affected and what is left of their lives ruined. Before anybody suggests otherwise it isn't another Daily Mail story but actually happened very close to home. This sort of crime didn't happen when we were youngsters, still it is probably a small price for us to pay for the general cultural enrichment we get from having foreigners coming to stay.

bruno22rf Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Pretty sure that the police station in Buckingham closed down a couple of years ago so scum like these are free to do as they please-mind you-to be honest unless the thieves were exceeding the speed limit then the officers in Buckingham would never have stopped them.

old rooster Posted December 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Give it time and the inevitable escalation of the problem and we will see vigilantism on a large scale. Nobody will be able to blame the public for protecting itself rom threats the government have no answer to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to hear your aunt is ok Rooster and normally I would agree 100% with your statement but sadly this type of behaviour is all too common with our own home grown scumballs.

BRYAN3 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 YE but as you say it was a story started by an Eastern European. I think it was started by a sympathiser on the bbs. At least thats where I saw it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
