Jo there we live just off king street live near the shepards rest pub and have caught people robbing lead an copper in tere and coming up from the cellar etc through the floor also had police round about it but did not arrest the man he was 50 odd and is a very dodgy character he lives in our road too... Are ahead got broken into also and lead/copper robbed also all tools gone this was few weeks ago but it has got to be the same people doin it!!! As we saw this man in the back of the pub we accused him off out she'd being robbed but he denied it

But these are ... and need locking up I hope they get caught very soon or injure them selfs badly

... OF THE EARTH!! that's what they are! hope your mum is ok, i can imagine her being shook up about it!
i remember a few years ago my house was re-wired right through and the workmen left a load of bits pieces of wire---and i mean 'bits'-----outside the front of my house and were coming back the next day to clear it all away, well 10pm that night i heard a noise in my front garden----these pieces were left near my front door-----so i opened the door (my son was here at the time so i was'nt alone) and there was this lad rooting through these pieces of wire, he did'nt even stop when i said 'and what do you think you're doing?' he just carried on and said he was going to clear the bits away for me! now i know workmen would'nt come at 10pm, so i told him to clear off and that he had no right being in my garden, he got the bits he wanted and said 'i'll just take these for my house!!' and off he went down the road!!!! my son said it's the copper he's after, he'll strip it then sell it.
he was rummiging like his life depended on it!!!!

Lemonhead, I live in Rice Lane, I've been here over 18 years now, Mosat of the people who live in Rice Lane are lovely people, many of whom have been there for years, problem is from the side streets nearby which are owned by private Landlords who dont give a cr4p who they let their properties to so long as they get their rent. I did run a residents group there for about 5 years. The neighbours in the part of Rice Lane that I live in all stick up for each other, if theres a problem we ALL ring the Police and we all go out into the street to back each other up if need be. The local Police are aware of the problems in the area its only a matter of time before it gets better smile

Not only that, it is a dangerous thing to do - scrabbling around on roofs. There could be a terrible accident.

They'd get a claim in and win for the roof being unsafe, little gobshites.

We keep getting these god damn gobshites scrambling through our back garden as a shortcut cheeky barstard to Tobin Street. We've had multiple break in attempts in the last few months but i've always managed to scare them off. I'm not to be fooked with when my patience is broken. This is the Rice Lane/Springfield Place Area.

It's a new road they built on Rice Lane where Woodhall Ave Used to be. The Meyer "officially opened" this road in Feb even though it was finished for months before. It's an alright road.

My Mum disturbed 2 people last night, in the back yard of the property next to ours. 1 around 14-15 years old, the other older, she thinks in his 20's perhaps wearing a hoodie. She described them as "scallies".

She asked them what they were doing and the older one mumbled "It's all right love, we're just looking for scrap."!?

How brass necked is that?! And this was at 10:15 at night and in the pouring rain! They got off quick walking down the entry from St. Brides Road to St. Elmo Road (Wallasey) so we didn't call the police. I wish we had though, they might have been able to catch up with them.
