I am not particularly religious, but there must be a special Hell for people who rob 99 years old pensioners.....  

Glad she's OK.

i think they should bring back national service and stick these scumbags in the armed forces, that would separate the men from the boys,i agree the older generation ,most fought throw the second world war so these scum can walk round thinking they own the place,whats the world coming to

Agree with the sentiments but why put an already over stretched armed force to look after tw*ts that either should have been drowned at birth or properly parented..

The armed force is the fall back of society in the wrong place at the wrong time. They also are tied up in red tape and with the general lack of self discipline would have a big problem trying to get the git's to do any thing.

I know from personal experience how just one bad apple can turn a whole arm team on its head. Would you let some disenchanted Ned loose with a rifle. No it falls back to parenting and the whole education thing.

totally agree with the parenting blame.but it might teach them a bit of respect and discipline

This kind of crime, Burglary Artifice (to give it its correct home Office classification) is not uncommon and often appears to be carried out by the travelling fraternity with Irish accents. Because the victims are usually elderly and often confused it’s very difficult to catch anyone. It’s very opportunistic and when several years ago when we had the great Channel 5 retune of video recorders it provided the scumbags who carry out these crimes opportunities beyond their wildest dreams.

What is this country coming too? I am not all that old but i do remember when we left the door unlocked all day and night with no fear of anything nasty going off. Now in this day and age we have to keep our car door locked for fear of being robbed. If you remember i posted telling you about some HOODIES who tried to pinch my dads car from his own drive in broad daylight, but this takes things another step further Give the bas*@£ds a propper sentence for the crime they do, not a slap on the wrists....................................................ooooooooooooooo it makes my blood boil

[start rant]   Sorry Peeps, needing to vent some steam here.....  Not wanting to take any kind of moral high ground, but.......  To paraphrase (and probably badly misquote) the Bible, 'You Reap What You Sow....'

In this world which gets progressivly more PC, parented by those with declining personal and family standards, assisted by selected but influential Social Workers, Teachers and Medical Professionals who look for an alternative (or easier) diagnosis of their inabilities to control the now state funded, financially Socially Secure offspring of those who happily hold out their hands for unearned cash and gleefully pocket untaxed cash at the same time - we have lost the corporate plot........

I am neither a Victorain nor a prude but at some previous time there was a sense of value, fair wages wages for fair work and no handouts or general sponging off the State.  This, to my mind, is now very much lost and we, as a country, are in a very downward spiral.

Respect is lost all round, in both directions between parents and offspring.  Stop the open door policy and protect those born and bred here and within the Commonwealth who are willing to work (and I mean ALL, not some Enoch Powell style ranting....) who see the UK as a soft touch who take obscene advantage of our Social Security system..  

And breath........  [/rant]

Agreed.

There are two other problems that are not mentioned:

1) Drugs - this is a major problem, believe me.

and

2) A youth culture that cultivates the impression that since they are young they therefore own the world. Made worse by that stomach-churning Cool Britannia rubbish. which TB started (NO, not The Boy!).

I was amazed to walk down the high street in the early evening one weekday a few weeks ago. A group of 3 teenage girls were hanging around outside the off licence smoking. A WPC walked over to one and politely asked if she could have a word. I have never heard language like that which she received in response. Totally unprovoked. She could have been asking for the time for all they knew.

When I was that age I had been taught to respect others, especially those in authority. I probably hadn't been on the planet long enough to have worked out for myself why that was right, but I knew that bad things would happen to me if I didn't and that worse things would happen if my parents found out.

I used to moan about how the country is run but that's irrelevant now. Nothing's going to be fixed by a change of government or policy. The country's rotten to the core and I think the only thing that's likely to fix it is a re-run of the battle of britain, to remind people that nothing is an absolute right in life, and that sometimes you have to make sacrifices for what you need, rather than expect it all on a plate, and raise hell if it's not to your liking.

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.

It is disgusting to think that people would do such a thing... How would they feel if someone did that to a Parent or Grand Parent of theirs??
Your Mum was very Brave and Thank God she wasn't hurt..

...... totally agree, if i or my mates did any thing wrong, scrumping or doing something stupid. Not serious stuff with knifing or robbing old ladies. The local 'bobby' would 'have a word'. That would take either the spoken word, the written word on the end of his boot or that he would be round to see 'yer Dad'.

All had their merits. If the boot up the back side was given and you then told your Dad then you could expect another from him.

In my 'previous life' if some little scroat came in front of me and played the ' i am too Young for you to do any thing too' card   then i would send them onward to the adult court if they wanted to be treated like an adult and did adult crimes then why should i stand in the way of their development. :question
