Stealth Stalker Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 I started a job today for an elderly lady, I'd dropped the kitchen & appliances to her last thursday & asked if I could have a deposit today. Over the weekend she got £3000 cash out the bank & on the way back she was stung. A young eastern european must have been in the bank & seen her zipping it in to her handbag, while she was walking home this girl dropped a load of coins infront of her & as she helped the girl pick the coins up her accomplice nipped in to her handbag & had the lot away I feel absolutley terrible for her & went along to the bank with her today, loads of hoodies & dodgy looking characters lingering about the place The police told her they doubt she'll ever see the money again & to try & claim on her household insurance. This is what this country is coming to, these professional theives preying on the elderly & infirm Keep your wits about you A very angry SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkBoy Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 That's too bad..... Why not just have her write a cheque/bank draft though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Geordie Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 Send a letter to B-Liar and ask if THIS is part of his on going vision for the future or has he EMPLOYED these pro criminals to bolster up the pension system? The old dears get their pension from the PO or Bank the crim steals it and spends it on goods (TAXABLE) so revenue returns to the government a kind of WIN WIN situation for the Government as it were People like this should be hung drawn and quartered for preying on the elderly.

Stealth Stalker Posted April 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 That's too bad..... Why not just have her write a cheque/bank draft though? I would have preferred a kite, but she insisted on it being cash, she's old school, I don't know if she's even got a cheque book. Her son has been getting involved with the choosing of kitchen etc, & I presumed he would sort the payment side of things. She's told me not to mention it to her son Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackthorn Posted April 2, 2007 Report Share Posted April 2, 2007 respect for the elderly has long gone, be it the ****e that has come into the country, and a lot of our own youths. 2 years ago it happened to my mates mum, in a busy shopping centre and the general public stood buy and watched no one came to her aid they probably thought it was a game an elderly lady being raged to the ground and her bag snatched, renewed my faith in man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

decroyffe Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 it must have knocked the old girl for six, i went off the boil after having the fourtrak nicked. i now set the house alarm when i never have before, i double check the landy each night and i'm very weary of everyone. it's a shame really when it comes to all the effort you have to put in when trying to protect what we've all worked so hard for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 I have a friend who got money out for his Missus's new horse left the bank got in his car put the money in the glove box then someone knocked on the window, said they'd just seen him drop some money as he was walking and had some cash in their hand. He got out an accomplice opened the passenger door had the money and the pair ran off, that was the last that was seen of that. They must have watched him get the money out. Gutting for him just like your old lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naddan28 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 (edited) It's a joke these days. My area is infested with chav's! Sometimes I wish someone would mask themselves (batman stylie) and prey on the chav's, giving them a quick kicking. Just enough for a climate of fear so they don't want to go out and are scaried of walking around in the dark. Then see how they like living in fear. The chav's round my way are such little wosses (never fight anyone unless 3:1 in their favour or armed) that a few given a swift kicking would scare the lot of them off! The problem is the police would hunt the person carrying out the beatings down and prosectute him for life! After what Axe just said I thought I would add: not that a condone such violence but it would perhaps change their views on the preying on old people and the climate of fear they live in now.

Ferret Master Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 Most are quite cowardly unless in a pack scenario with all their mates. They like talking as if they are hard because they have watched green street or football factory and saying things behind your back about what they want to do to you and your friends. One particular anal excuse of a human being made some rather serious allegations about me because I told my best friend about what he was threatening to do to him because of a petty incident playing basketball but quickly backed down when I went 3'' away from his face and asked him infront of everyone what exactly I had been saying and asked if there was one witness to my apparent 'dissing' of him. He had to get a girl to stand up for him in the end as he was really embarrased because I was using words such as 'inciting' which he didn't understand. The moral of this short story is scum like that lose all their confidence when they are not in a group egging each other on and picking on weaker members of society.

Big Al Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 This kind of thing makes my blood boil. My father-in-law (83) got ripped off when selling a car. He trusted the guy to go to the hole-in-the-wall to get the cash. Needless to say he never saw him or the car again. Scum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naddan28 Posted April 3, 2007 Report Share Posted April 3, 2007 We used to get them coming into my Kickboxing classes all the time. They would come in, refuse to take any training seriously as "they did boxing so know how to fight." The next thing they would say was "can we start sparring!" Which was brilliant as they would normally attempt to knock ten bells out of me, fortunately having spent 4yrs training they normally came off a lot worse! I remember one, who was really going at me and after about 2mins I decided that I was not taking it (only meant to be light sparring, not that anything about his punches was light) so I just placed a nice rear leg roundhouse on his kisser, sending him crashing to the floor. When helping him up I got a "you kicked me..." I laughed and said "i told you its KICKboxing, next time you might listen when we try to teach you how to block!" Fortunately it actually detered a lot of them turning up as they realised we wouldn't take a good kicking, without retaliating. So they went elsewhere!

naddan28 Posted April 4, 2007 Report Share Posted April 4, 2007 lol darebare, well firstly I am at the stopped kickboxing around a year ago, after getting Glandular Fever & tonsilitius. I basically lost all my fitness & flexibility so it was like starting again. I didn't have the time to put the effort in to get me back to my old self, I couldn't manage the warm up running around the sports hall but prior to getting ill run around 20 miles a week! I found it all so demoralising, where before I could run, jump and kick the hell out of 90% of my club, I became some rubbish, out of breath fat ***! Like being mid 30's overnight Also, now being at uni I no longer visit that club! I shall start kickboxing again in the summer when I start working and have more free time to get back into it and have realised I wont be as good as I was for a long while. So if I get any similar mo's will video them! We used to have iccidents like the one I described above every week (esp in the summer hols) It made the £3.50 fee wee worth well, just to teach the local 'hard nuts' a lesson or 3.
