That and an a lot of threatening looking mates of mine asking questions in local pubs and of bunches of youths in the area soon made it a bit of a no-go zone.
Police were very helpful, with local area copper ringing up to check to see if I had seen anyone of the following names and addresses lurking around... feel sorry for the local beat plod as they know who they are but unless they catch them the little sods are getting away with it ... or in this case perhaps not...
Needless to say when the new lot of 15 year olds had a go last year on the new garage, the presence of me standing far too close to a certain scrote in the queue at the local shop a couple of days later, and smiling like I know where the bodies will be buried every time he turned nervously round, seems to have led to the new generation of thieving scrotes deciding my street is a no-go zone.. :whistle:
