Forums Forums Lost & Found Cathcart Street Gang on Bikes!!

I believe hackneys have their fair share of grief.
Last year, I got a hackney back from shopping and i just settled into the seat, put the seatbelt on and this water balloon exploded all over me!!!! We had just passed the lights where the bank is on the corner, round the one way system in Liscard. Taxi driver said it always happening

Totally share the thoughts about oxygen thieveing chavs.
Dunno where the heck their parents are...my kids would NEVER dream of doing anything of the sort!!! When my 2 oldests were younger, they helped the elderly with their gardens, washed their cars, walked their dogs, etc on their days off/holidays.
There are far more constructive jobs to do rather than harrassing people.

Well I have now reported this, gave loads of information to the police. They haven given me a crime number but to be honest were more interested in the fact that I may have knocked one of these over while trying to 'escape' the situation than the effect on me!!

I didn't knock anyone over, I pushed someone out of my way and managed to get away. The police are now coming to look at my scooter on Monday - during work hours which has really pee'd me off, as this will be in full view of my work colleagues. And I can't class is as assault as I was not injured.

So crime statistics are now up to date, i have now been inconvenienced, made to feel like I am wasting police time, and have nothing but a third referral to victim support to show for this year!!!!!!!!

Sounds like one of the scrotes has reported you for leaving the scene of an accident, no reason to look at your scooter otherwise.

Lets hope his younger brother doesn't claim to have been riding the bike and only grabbed your arm instinctively to stop him falling over when you hit him.

Lets see, bird on scooter, with no witnesses on her behalf's word against half a dozen of mummies little angels, let's hope there's no scratches on the scooter.

Far fetched, maybe, maybe not, after all drivers/riders are cash cows for the police.

Maybe time for scooter/m/cycle riders to take a leaf out of the cyclists book, and invest in helmet cams.

swap car for scooter and run the cnuts over next time

i had to phone the police about 2 years ago, over my oldest lad getting jumped, we phoned the police, and they said we can come round but it will be about 11 pm or you can wait and Well Lane police station opens at 9am, i had to take my son up to Arrowe Park Hospital, so i said we will go to Well Lane in the morning, we got there at 9 am at 9.15 at last they opened, they said they can't do much as there was no proof, a broken nose and black eye, and the names of 2 lads who where there not good enough, we walk away gab smacked

They try their best to reduce the crime figures by putting people off reporting them.

Performance targets are always the best way to stop things being done properly.

and they wonder why people take the law into their own hands

I can't believe this; a solo female, riding a scooter, is harrassed and intimidated by a group of adult men, such that she fears for her safety and had to take evasive action to escape; and the police are not only, not taking your complaint seriously and acting upon it but are instead, implying that YOU did something wrong? That is utterly RIDICULOUS! Maybe they had rather you were reporting a gang-rape (or worse)????
Sounds like something that ought to go to the national Media. Something is VERY wrong with this picture.....

UPDATE:

Had a call from one of Birkenhead's finest today while at work, was on my lunch so took his call. He basically told me that as there was no evidence about the incidence there was nothing they could do. I ended up arguing with him (too much coffee on my part) that surely they could sit in their car in the area and question people on bikes, or knock on some doors and he said they don't have the people/man power to do this. No one was hurt, and nothing actually happened.

I am so annoyed, the Police really don't give a sh*t any more, my dad was stopped and breathalised outside his own home yesterday because a copper who had followed him all the way from the tunnel to Oxton decided that he pulled away from traffic lights too 'briskly' to be driving normally. He was not drunk and never once broke the speed limit, but they won't invest the same time and effort after I was nearly Scooter Jacked!!

Helmet Cam in the offering now, really thinking about this!
