maybe edit your thread title to reflect what the incident was about. might be helpful for people to know you're talking about such a seriously incident.

thanks for the heads up chuck, but thankfully i dont use taxi's at all. good thing you didn't post in after hours as you'd have to deal with all the do-gooders in there. T.B.H. the first thing that did come into my head was a foreign national.

managerman · 06-03-2012 3:55pm

if a girl leaves her friends on her own to get a taxi, ask one of her mates to take a pic of the taxi, with both plates in it, and in clear view of the taxi man himself, just a thought

anniehoo · 06-03-2012 6:06pm

Janey thats really scary. Ive yet to have any kind of a bad taxi driver experience *touch wood* but

The idea about txting someone the ID is not a bad idea at all.

is something i should keep in mind (if i remember

Any proof OP? Otherwise your warning isn't worth the bytes it's encoded in.

Chuck is a fairly well known member of this forum and doesn't strike me as the type of poster who would make something like this up. The warning is worth it.

Jehuty42 · 06-03-2012 7:13pm

Well, I don't know any women to pass this warning on to, so as a man I guess I'll just keep on worrying about my statistically much higher chance of getting physically assaulted at random instead.

as the OP has stated that chuck is well know in D15 forum.

somethingdude · 06-03-2012 10:26pm

Went over at 8.40pm. The doors were closed with a "we're closed" piece of paper stuck to the door. In the car park were Gardai cars. Lidl stays open till 9pm on weekdays. Always does. Never closes early. So 2 + 2 and all that...

Man, thats like the 4th time i've heard it was robbed.

Slydice · 06-03-2012 10:46pm

Four times? wtf.

Now that I think of it, I can't ever remember seeing cctv in a lidl or aldi. Sometimes there's a security guy but that's about it.

They've all got CCTV and two way mirrors at the till leading to the office.

Not that it's particularly unusual but there was a helicopter flying around about quarter past seven in that general area, I was walking the dog in the hartstown park and saw it

Garda helicopter as they have clearance to fly residential at night.
Definitely they would have been scrambled for operational purposes,robbery,garda pursuit.

Yepp
Aircorp flying it and plenty of callouts in Dublin.

maceocc2 · 07-03-2012 9:12am

Sure was, I was at the till ready to checkout when they came in, one with a hand gun second guy with a sword. Got money from 3 tills I think.

Worst thing about it was, they went straight to the employee that was 32 weeks pregnant, poor girl was in bits after it.

vibe666 · 07-03-2012 9:25am

dirty thieving b*stards.

i knew something was up, i was waiting at the lights coming from damastown ind. estate and there was a garda car going the other way and the next thing you know, he's spun around with his lights and siren blaring up the wrong side of the road and across the one way bridge in the wrong direction towards clonee. then i got over(under)taken by a garda 4x4 with lights etc. going very fast about 5 minutes later driving past Ongar.

Halve_ZOL · 07-03-2012 10:52am

Oh my, thought I heard a helicopter fly over last night... My wife is on her way to the Lidl there now, will check with her if she noticed anything.

Thank you.

It happened, make no mistake about it.

I am not trying to scapegoat anyone but simply giving the facts.

Mind you, what proof could I give? camera recording of the incident? Would you kop on.

Diddler1977 · 07-03-2012 1:34pm

I suppose with incidents like this rumour and speculation can spread very quickly. Particularly when the story starts with "this happened a friend of mine"

However, the OP is a well established member of this forum and he is unlikely to be repeating unfounded gossip as fact.

Thats bloody terrible

These scum must see that Lidl as a easy target. 4 times I heard it was knocked off and thats only the times I heard off. Probably more times. Wouldnt be suprised to hear it was the same scumbags on more than one occasion too.

No they haven't, unless someone is were the bed rooms are in a house you can't say your actions in assaulting them were justifiable.

Excuse me, i've actually read the new law. You're talking ****, my dear. Also, notice that I said 'If absolutely necessary' not on the slightest provocation.:rolleyes:

alright, stay on topic please!

Zwillinge · 09-03-2012 3:05pm

When I got home yesterday, my Dad said that few people on the road were chatting about recent break ins around the area.

We're in Glenville, just so people are aware, its been in the last few weeks, plenty of through the back doors and hopping walls.

Please make sure that they report the incidents to the Gardai. The Gardai will only direct resources to an area if there are reports.

spooky donkey · 09-03-2012 9:14pm

I did notice falshing blue lights outside at about 7pm that night come to think of it.

Dirty, filthy, scummy bastards :mad:

I hope the poor girl and her baby are okay, a shock like that could send a woman into premature labour.. Not that those pieces of sh1t would care!

Yep, I was in a lidl in yesterday and actually looked this time. They definitely have cctv.

BlazingSaddler · 12-03-2012 2:30pm

Hi all. Does anybody know what was happening at 4am last night? It sounded like a helicopter was going to land on the roof of the house it was that close, woke all in the house up so I was less than impressed.

Gerlad · 12-03-2012 2:48pm

Yeah it woke me up too. Got told this morning that 5(!) houses got broken into in Castlegrange last night so could be something to do with that.

ANother thread on the D15 forum here says no less than 5 yes FIVE houses were broken into in the matter of hours in Castlegrange. Have googled around dont see it mentioned anywhere else. Can anyone confirm? :O

Gerlad · 12-03-2012 4:30pm

I live in the Castlegrange area and a friend that lives over near the Hazelbury Park side's house was done last night and told me four others were done as well. Apologies if there is no official Garda report to back this up :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Yes they were upstairs asleep.

Is there only 1 Garda helicopter in Dublin?

ronan45 · 13-03-2012 1:47pm

how can a van of Scum Bags drive around an estate a knock off house after house??? WOW that is crazy. Anyone know what time this was at? Feckin cat burglars.

Only way to deal with them is to get a dog.

sambora · 17-03-2012 2:26pm

Not even a dog can stop them nowadays. I've known 3 people to have their houses broken into and their dogs can be vicious even towards strange family members. And for some reason the dogs are being kept quiet.

It's a really strange one.

Morag · 17-03-2012 2:52pm

Most dogs are family pets and are not trained as guard dogs so they will take food from just about anyone. 1/2 pound of sausages or a handful of dog treats and fido will lie down munching.

No, there is 2, for the entire country. Along with a plane.

Hi Folks
I'd like to let yous know of a worrying incident that happened about 5pm today in Castlecurragh Vale. I caught two boys, about ten years old, one blond, both white, standing on my garden wall taking pictures of the back of my house. Looked like an expensive camera phone and was directed towards the lower kitchen windows. Now I don't think they would be the burglars but I think they will pass the pictures onto someone else.
I'm posting this just so people can be aware that if they see this at their house, maybe they're targeted for a robbery.
Stay safe
Jenny

nomesc · 18-03-2012 9:36am

Thanks Jenny. I hope you reported it to the Gardaí too

Dub XV · 18-03-2012 10:00am

2 days ago our neighbour knocked in to say somebody had been in his garden during the night but had clearly jumped over the fence from our side. Bear in mind the next door neighbour on the other side had their front door glass smashed to grab their keys about a month ago. It's not going away.

Hansfield/Littlepace area!
