Originally posted by NickFitz View PostHello again
Just had a visit from a detective
He diligently noted the fact that I hadn't seen anything worthy of note.
Apparently I was wrong about the Police having broken the doors in. All he told me was that "several people" had come here and "some people" (presumably my neighbours & their friends) had been assaulted, and "some property" had been stolen.
Given that he asked if I'd seen any black people hanging around, I think we can safely assume that my neighbours have got on the wrong side of some gang in the course of some dodgy dealing, and that retribution has been exacted
Also, taking the rubbish out after the detective had gone, I noticed that the outhouse in the back yard (the old stable, with an additional lean-to built on to it, and therefore quite roomy) has also been broken open. It's used from time-to-time as a workshop by the builder for whom my neighbours appear to work (at least on occasion), but it just seems to have some junk in it at the moment.
Ho hum - still no sign of the neighbours returning
Then again our place is controlled by the Gay Mafia (absolutly no offence meant!!) and they like everything just so.... We had some students in one of the flats not so long ago... they didn't last very long. Got on the wrong side of the Don and out they went!!Bazza gets caught

Professional hoodlums I can cope with; it's crackhead chavs that would be a problem, and they tend to stay on the estates. This is actually a comparatively nice neighbourhood for this cityComment
