They are targeting BMWs, Audis etc.

Are they looking for BMW's/ Audi in the drive I wonder? Also what area does your friend live in who was broken into? My house in Bromborough doesn't have a car at all but my two adult children live there and I'd hate it to happen to them....I'd hate for it to happen to anyone for that matter frown

Big Dunc is an ex Everton player.

[edit] Burglary attempt

In 2001, Ferguson was the victim of a burglary attempt by two men at his then home in Formby, Liverpool. Ferguson confronted the pair and was able to detain one of them who subsequently spent three days in hospital.[15] The second man managed to flee but was eventually caught. Both men were sentenced to fifteen months imprisonment for their actions.


I do recall the one he got himself had 2 black eyes and a few broken ribs, as Big Dunc apprahended him defending his property, the police took no action against Big Dunc.

Don't you just love when that happens though? It shows that maybe there's some sense afterall in the police to understand that the property owner was just defending what is his

Of course smile

Imagine the shock when they seen the size of him 6 foot 4" and a proffesional footballer, also he had served time in Barlinee ? (bad spelling) in Scotland for assault on the football pitch. They must have left a lump in their trousers.
