Hello
Just heard from my Dad that last night somebody/a group of people went around where I live nicking stereo after stereo from cars where I live.
Firstly you must understand about the place I live. It is quite close to Nottingham town centre, about 7-10 mins down a hill by car. However, it is a secluded little estate with one entrance and everybody knows everybody, be it by sight or having talked to them. Crime rate is around zero, i can leave my car accidently unlocked for days and it not be a problem. I don't set my alarm etc. and people look out for others. It isn't a partically rich area but I would say a really nice place to live, no cars barely so kids can play in the nice wide tree lined streets etc. I.e. nice area.
So you can imagine that when I heard this morning that such idiot(S) have been doing this on a nice area it really pisses me off. I take my face off, off when I get home out of habit but many don't, especially not here, because you don't feel the need to. Why even bother, a nicked stereo can't be worth more than about £50 on ebay or similar so it must be a lot of work/risk for little gain. Now about 4 people where I live are left with a large bill for repairs to their windows. They weren't stupid either, our family knows two of the people who it happened to and both have alarmed cars, they just knew what they were doing and either nobody heard an alarm/they got around it.
Now I will have to start doing all the usual security measures I only like doing when I park at school (awful area) just to park outside my house. If they want to nick, they should nick from their own place of residence because they're clearly not welcome here and if i hear my alarm tonight my huge maglite is coming out and I am going to take a look.
WHY DO THIS!? It's not even worth it is it?!
