Where my mother lives, she's 99 by the way, the Water Board have been replacing the main in the road. They finished on Tuesday.

Yesterday, a man in a suit rang her door bell, and said, I'm from the Water Board, we've got a problem, I need to turn your water off. She asked him for I.D. and he said, I haven't got time for that, it's an emergency, you'll be flooded out. He pushed past her and headed for the kitchen.

She was highly suspicious and kept questioning him, he pretended to turn the water off under her sink, and after a few minutes, said he'd got to go, and turn other house's off, got up and ran out of the house.

Then she discovered his ba@@ard accomplice had stolen her pension money out of her handbag.

Torture an mutilation is too good for these scumbags.

Sorry to sound off.

I suppose the good thing is they didn't harm her.

The bastard - did she get a good description - enough to go hunting with?

Yes, she gave the police an excellent description, she's still sharp as a button, despite her age.

Normally, she doesn't let anyone in without an I.D., but this guy pushed past her.

The guy whom she didn't see, the one that stole the money, dropped a wedding photo, with names and a date on the back. The SOCO team were able to get good prints off it, but fear it may have been left deliberately, to offer a false scent.

As if crime isn't bad enough, to target the elderly is downright despicable tinkers!!

[tunnie]

what a bastard..... makes you sick. Good thing is your mother is safe and sound  

[Timbuk]

The sad thing is im not surprised  

[hotel21]

Glad your Mum is unhurt.  Despite this, she may well need a lot of reassurance to restore her confidence again.  Hope some house to house will unearth ongoing descriptions of the grotbags.

Awwww that is terrible total scum bag.

We Are having our road dug up at the mo and the Gas people said dont let anyone in who does not have a pass and if your iffy about them they gave a phone number to everyone to ring. Good To hear they are atleast trying to stop the scumbags prey on people

[JamesV6CDX]

I hope they get put away for a long time. b@rstards.

Put away for terrorizing the elderly? Probably a caution or community rehabilitation order, whatever that is.

The problem is there is no deterrent for this scum. They know they will get slapped wrists and see that as part of their job!! Even a policeman is no deterrent, they just  stab them if they get in the way.

They should make prisons more like army prisons. When I was in the army I was given a 14 day sentence for disobeying a direct order. I lost every liberty and all my dignity, it was the worst 2 weeks of my life. However the experience was such that I would never do anything to end up there again.

I am glad your mum is ok, but keep an eye on her, as reactions to these experiences can manifest a few weeks after the event. I presume the insurance will cover her financial loss. If not then I would gladly be the first to offer £5 to any OOF whipround.

Sorry to hear about your mum AA.

Slightly off thread but still on topic: In our local rag, the Wakrfield Express, there is a 'Reports from the courts' section each week. You can read about all of the miscreants and their evil deeds. But you'd be very hard pushed to find even one that received a custodial sentence.

I hope that your Mum's OK

Sticking with off thread but agreeing with STO123 - an enlarged cutting was stuck on our workshop notice board of Wigan's version of above. A certain person at work who has a reputation for getting off things scott free managed to escape a driving ban despite the fact he left the scene of an accident ... and other things I can't remember. He received 8 points & a few hundred £££'s fine but he already had 11!!!!!!!!! How the F*** did that happen?

Yes she is a little shook up, but, in a funny sort of way she's more annoyed with herself for how stupid (her words) she was in going to the door first, before she looked out of the window, which she normally does.

If she doesn't recognise the person at the door, she tells them to go away.
