Hi all,


Just wanted to flag a burglary on Dunstans road today - we discovered it this evening. Waiting for the police to arrive but please be aware there are thieves operating in the area!


If anybody can advise if they saw anything out of the ordinary - we think it may have been c.4pm- we are on dunstans in between Goodrich and Upland road.


Thanks

Let's just say in such a manner for us not to notice until after we had been home for an hour- they stole money, jewellery and laptops- quick and easy things to carry.


Aparantly it's common in the area and on the up- they are doing it at a time when people are out in the afternoon and then diving in quickly and grabbing easy things.


Best thing for people to do is triple locks and alarms and be aware even if you are home alone in the day especially.

jah, so close to my home...


i was walking my dog up to the hill before four but i only saw kids coming back from goodrich school and some guys doing refurbishment works at one of dunstans road houses, nothing suspicious


EDIT - i need to correct myself, dunno why i thought it was between goodrich and underhill... if you are between goodrich and upland - so just next to dawson hill - the only thing, that maybe wasn't especially unusual, but might be helpful - there were two guys (in their twenties to thirties) sitting in the car parked near s david's mansion, just behind this silver sport car with broken/damaged rear spoiler/wing. i noticed them as they're laughing when i was passing by. however i couldn't recognised them nor even say what was the make of the car. I noticed only that guy in driver's seat was black, that's all. but if the're strangers or live localally - i got no clue, i live here to short to recognise people, except these few i met in the park...

Thanks Miss P- we will be doing that from now on but never felt the need before as felt so safe! Would recommend everyone do the same although we were double locked so they do find a way!



NowandHere- thanks for the feedback although the police think they were on foot and quick win opportunists. Good observations!


Be safe x

Sorry to hear about your break-in Rose. I think someone has had a go at our back door lock - it looks like one of the pins has dropped inside the lock and we are no longer able to open the door with the key. Can't be sure until the locksmith comes round, but we are only three roads away from you Rose and it seems a bit of a coincidence.
Sorry to hear of your burglary, we had Victim Support round today fitting a bar to our door and a chain - they're stopping the scheme on 31st March so if you're wanting a visit from them make sure you book them in soon! Wonder if it's the same scum who did our house a few weeks back :(

Please tell me your last comment was a joke!

So far so good, we haven't been burgled in this house ( Oakhurst Grove) for many years since fitting a chubb 5 lever lock to the front door, and then making sure that it gets locked with that, both on exit and on entry.

Back door has no access for the key from outside, only from inside. Maybe something to think about?

    • Hi, Self explanatory anyone help or point me in  right direction please.   Thanks  
    • Cheques are still the safest way to send money to others if you want to make a 'thing' of it. At Christmas or birthdays a card with a cheque is the most effective present to distant god children or extended family, for instance when you don't know what they have or need - made out to the parent if you don't think they have an account yet. Of course you can use electronic transfer, often, to parents if you set it up, but that doesn't quite have the impact of a cheque in the post. So a cheque still has a use, I believe, even when you have very much reduced your cheque writing for other purposes.
