On Saturday night/Sunday Morning I was woken by a loud voices. On looking out of the window I could see a group of lads messing around and sitting on the floor by the cars. I lifted the blinds and turned the light on as I though this might make them move off if they saw me. They obviously did not as they moved across the road next to my car by this time there was only two of them. The first crouched down by the boot the second one was by the front. I watched for a little to try and see what they were doing. After looking around (but not looking up so they did not see me) they moved towards the drivers door and started looking in through the window and then pulled the door handle. At this point I opened the window and told them to F-off which they did. I have reported this to the police and have let my neighbors know so we can all be a little more aware.

I saw 3 young guys looked like teenagers a few months ago doing the same thing in Barry road they went into my neighbours driveway and was trying the doors on his car and I had just parked up as got home from work around 6am when i got out of the car they ran off

I walked back a bit from where they had come from and there was a car door open and bits on passenger seat and one with a broken window.

So maybe the same people.

    • Trees in streets can cause e.g. boundary wall disturbance and issues around the trunks, but remember that tree roots in the main go down, so are unlikely to directly disturb foundations of houses, although they can, on clay soils, have some impact on water tables which may consequently cause movement. However trees, with most older houses, even where they may show some cracking are often not actually materially disposed to cause real problems (which more often are caused by building on hillside slopes etc.). We had slight cracks in a front wall facing the street when we bought our house nearly 40 years ago, the cracks have now effectively closed and over those 40 years we have had no subsidence issues at all, (fingers of course still firmly crossed).  Insurers love subsidence and 'rising damp' as it allows them to whack up premiums without any real risk to themselves. Unless you now have clear and visible problems I really wouldn't worry. And I'd certainly not start any process which may only result in your paying much higher premiums, or making your house unsaleable in the future.
    • Agreed 100% also. We went through an epic trauma getting a tree removed in Forest Hill and were then made to go through our insurance by the council for the repairs. Ended in complete misery--raised premiums, difficulty switching insurers, and all for a few very minor cracks! It's changed a lot over the past fifteen years, from what I can gather, because the previous owners of our house had a much more serious problem with the same tree, but they managed to get their insurance to force the council to pay...
    • I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for good female driving instructors? Slightly urgent because I’ve put this off for a bit too long.  thanks 
    • Agreed 100%. Don't go near your insurance provider. You will condemn your property to massively increased premiums for ever more. Plus you will find it virtually impossible to switch insurers in the future.
