torchey 1,328 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 I think when you live out in the sticks you do drop your guard a bit because of the lower crime rate, where i used to live i used to unload the van of tools every night and that was parked on the drive the c**ts didn,t give a f**k..My place was robbed when my missus was in and the little un was asleep in the cot upstairs and he walked straight past her on the way out, caught up with him within the hour and all the jewellery he took was gone he ended up getting away with that and they were trying to do me because he was left in a bit of a mess..the laws f****d 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,211 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 If I'm in the front door unlocked all day locked at night.... My old man kept the key in the front door as long as I can remember people came and went.......... The shed was burgled once, they were caught by me and my old man... They regretted it..... The outside freezer wa robbed once.. He was caught at the end of the road by my dad and uncle...

forest of dean redneck 11,643 Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 When I lived in forest of dean never locked doors,missus went to toilet middle one night when pregnant and front door was wide open. From what we can gather when they opened it they had knocked it into the rotty who slept in hallway, The front gate was still shut though lol. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest bullterrier Posted November 26, 2012 Report Share Posted November 26, 2012 Through the 70's I grew up in a street where front doors were always open. The streets were full of kids playing, no need to lock anything, most houses had fitted a door in the lobby to keep the chill out in winter but that was it. If folk went to the shops others would keep an eye out. It all changed in the 's, the coming of heroin and burglaries started, i remember it starting, 3 or 4 houses in a street in a day, from then on doors were locked. spot on mate shame them days have long gone and to the members that are living out of the citys and towns were do you think all the smackheads go robbing john Quote Link to post Share on other sites
