Pikeys come a'knockin!
Just had a pick-up truck at the door wanting to buy the Scooby!!
Now, I know it's hard to sell these things at the moment ..... so, it's quite a surprise to have them beating a path to my door when it's not even for sale!!
One sight of the dog barking and they legged it .... surprising nice Irish accent too!!

They are everywhere round here atm cruising round picking up scrap metal.
Mates caught one nicking a neighbour's wheelie bin, they went to stop him...but he legged it - with wheelie bin in tow. Now you'd wonder wtf is so important about a wheelie bin to warrant running off with it.
Well, seeing he couldn't leg it as quick as he would without it, they caught him. And then it came clear why he kept hold of the wheelie bin....
He had nicked all the lead off the bay windows and put it in the wheelie bin

They live beyond the law so all we wil ever do is moan and nothing will be done by the CPS.
It would be a real shame if as few turned up with their hands lopped off - would send out a message...

Theres now a travveler community officer in the area who's job it is to try and bring the travellers and rest of us closer. The project was heralded as a triumph when she managed to recover £5k of stolen copper from the travellers site, the story went on to say that no one was convicted as it was not clear how the copper had found its way onto the site.
If I had £5k of stolen copper in my back garden could I also claim ignorance? If not then why not?
Same law for everyone please.

Cash Converters is unbelievable, almost everytime I have been in there someone has come in with a mobile phone without any charger or box and pawned is for a couple of pounds. If the police want to clamp down on stolen goods then I'm sure an afternoon in the local CC would bring some very interesting finds.

They are ripping up grids in Cheshire, that focuses your mind when cycling, pikey c*nts, and I don't care if its considered racist, I would love them if they stuck to badly tarmacing drives, selling pegs and being "Colourful" but when I see the grids missing and then realise why I nearly hit a flatbed Transit on a country road whilst two blokes look shifty, then hear that they have been nicking the grids, I get upset, their reputation versus safety, no contest.

pikeys
they are considered an ethnic minority up here, any slant on their actions is classed as discrimination.
they knocked on my door they other day, a youngish male about 23, pin stripe dark trousers, v necked t shirt tucked in and hair gelled/slicked back a la ray reardon. henderson construction on the side of their landy 90 with tow bar, funny no contact details on the vehicle along with the company name. they said they were doing loc-bloc driveways in the area. the door was closed quicker than it was opened.
grids and cast iron covers have been disappearing here too.
