I was just about to make the same point, looks to me if you're living in a good bit surrounded by tulip holes then you'll feature highly in the list. -
SL6, my old Nan lives there. Mind you, knowing her side of the family's history, it's likely it's her doing the robbing. Wondered where she got that 42" plasma from.Comment

A mixture of bad areas and ones next to bad areas.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Is that list in terms of numbers of burglaries, or value of stuff nicked? If the latter, Bond Street should have jumped a few places lately.Comment

I live in one of the top ones on that list. The problem with insurance companies categorising these things by post code is that they cover such a broad area.
In my case, there's a crappy sink estate a mile to the south-west, another a mile to the north-west, and areas full of terraces rented out to students to the north and east. The estates' residents thrive in a black economy built on burgling each other's houses, and every student house that gets turned over generates three or four individual insurance claims, thus inflating the figures.
Meanwhile I live in a small area with a mix of young (or not so young in my case) professional types and middle class families, and all our insurance premiums are ramped up because of the nearby barbarians

So its pure coincidence then that these places you have visted or stayed near happen to be the burglary hotspots? Hmmmn.....Originally posted by Bagpuss View PostKing of Chutney.
