This time we have a white ford fiesta (old model) ,this has been seen at the last house to be burgled recently.The black audi or bmw is also making house calls again to what they think are unoccupied homes and making a quick exit when they see there is someone home

On the

Staplestown Road and

St. Killians Crescent, 2 lad's knocking on doors. If they get no answer they jump the back wall. My father ran them, But he was scared they said the were just cutting threw the gardens.

About ten mins later he heard another neighbour shouting at them saying he was calling the Gardai.

s?umbags,,i can see some prowler/robber getting seriously hurt if they happen to try/enter the wrong home.If it happened to these different guys would it make them think twice. *Mod note,no inciting to unlawfulness, please*

MyBrokenKnees · 17-01-2013 07:13PM

Some day some one of these people will trespass right into an owner with a shotgun.

Then there will be a lot of family homes feeling a lot safer at night.

Trying to watch how you put something so you don't get a ban is quiet hard.

But I think we all have the same idea of what needs to happen.

I was told that they were 4 lads from Wexford and the youngest was 17.

Anybody else hear anything about this?

It was around 2pm this afternoon. They just have no fear of anything.

I say if you hear anything call the Gardai day or night don't worry about it be a false alarm. The more times the Gardai are seen to be around the better.

They would all have been back home in time for breakfast instead of thrown into a stinking cess-pit of a cell with a bowl of porridge.

They have know fear because there is no real punishment!

This isnt an incitement to anything ,,,its my opinion .I didnt advocate unlawfulness ,im pointing out the unlawfulness that is sweeping this county like most others in Ireland at present.

Read the thread,try and understand why it was started.Its about thieves /burglers.If my post is mis-understood ask for clarification,i will gladly trying to explain.Making an assumption and then blowing about it ,is a little silly.

The other day I was driving out of my estate and stopped at the exit where it meets the main road. I saw a scruffy lad in a hoody(wearing it up over his head) ring the doorbell of the house at the entrance of the estate and he legged it around the side/back of the house and hopped over the low wall. The scruffy lad saw me stop my car and observe him. When the occupier of the house answered I let my window down and told him I saw a lad ring his bell and leg it around the back...he looked surprised and went indoors-am not even sure if he heard me properly. I did initially wonder if it was a friend of his playing a prank but thought I'd wait at the junction to see if someone answered to say it to them regardless as the guy who rang the doorbell looked dodgy. I saw the same guy in the same hoody (wearing it over his head) walking up the road where my estate is a couple of days later and he saw me observe him again as I drove past him.

It was a little over a week ago, can't be sure of the day but it was mid afternoon...I don't mean to alarm anyone but saw the thread so thought I'd mention what I saw...

No, Im glad you said something, coz I am originally from the countryside, so I am still a little naive about what happens in the town.

MyBrokenKnees · 19-01-2013 11:48PM

The more alerts the better is my motto then we can warn our friends and neighbours even if they are false alarms.

Its good to be vigilant but try not to worry. I would think they are targeting empty houses or those who leave their back doors unlocked so they can nip in and out quickly whilst the occupier is answering the front door....

Those of us who live on our own especially should probably try and keep the back door locked unless we're out back.

byhookorbycrook · 19-01-2013 11:56PM

And the front door too,ours needs to be locked as you just push down the handle otherwise

We all will have to start community alert/ neighbourhood watch in our own areas ,neighbours try and meet and set it up.We will have to be more alert and keep and eye open .With the limited resources gardai have now ,its up to homeowners/nieghbours to try and stand up and try and curb this crime wave,
