Alex C Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Some kids just dumped a crossbow in the bushes behind my flat! I was going to go out & confront them but what with recent stabbings etc you just can't be sure these days. One of them gets on the phone, then 5 mins later they reappear as does a plain white transit van - they proceed to fish it out of the bush, give it to the guy in the van after some sort of exchange (one of them was leaning in the window but couldn't quite see if anything was handed over) and then trundle off. Called the police as the van was turning up but they didn't get here in time, all they could do really was keep look out for the van I suppose. All very dodgy and makes me fear for my Supra parked outside now - my area is very nice & quiet but since a fence at the back of the cul-de-sac came down in last years high winds (which my council refuse to repair) we have all sorts of undesirables using it as a shortcut now.

ivan Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 String a load of barbed wire across where the fence was. I'm sure you could find some lying about somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex C Posted February 23, 2008 Author Share Posted February 23, 2008 I thought about that, risk is if someone cuts themself then they'd probably try suing me (but then they'd have to prove it was me that put it there I supose) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 After all the posts regarding dodgy goings on with youngsters i think we should arrange a group buy on the auto machine gun kit they used in congo. I'm sure that would do the trick. Scott =op Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 You didn't get the reg number of the van then? Obviously they'd just done a house robbery. At least they will have some idea of who the fence is then based on the van.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ironically then as it works, as they are sued they would fix the fence as a result to avoid further claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm, the flats are mostly rented so I think the council are ultimately responsible (although when the fence came down the council themselves came knocking trying to get me to do it:no:). Worth a try maybe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they will have some idea of who the fence is then based on the van.. I did get the reg yes and passed it on to the police on the phone. I thought the same thing...someone got these scrots to nick it and then they found a nice 'safe' area for the exchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl0s Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 That's just what they do. Rather than walk around with stolen goods, they'll dump stuff, e.g. LCD tellys in wheelie-bins, and come back with the buyer or someone who has wheels later on.

Alex C Posted February 24, 2008 Author Share Posted February 24, 2008 I'm in Chester, pretty much right in the middle . Nice area normally, don't get too many issues like this although as with most places there seems to have been an increase in 'hoodies' lately..
