Today, brother noticed a young guy hopping a side wall of an elderly couple's home. He drove in the driveway and three of them were trying to break through the back door. They fled through some fields at the back.
A few phonecalls later( neighbour watch is wonderful) , me and 2 friends noticed them running through the fields behind my workshop and we gave chase , catching one of them and as we pinned the little **** to the ground we were able to direct the gardai ( who were incredibly fast arriving) by phone which way the other 2 scumbags were heading. A large crowd had now gathered, (some armed ) and the 2 scumbags were very relieved the gardai got them first.

I have to say the gardai were superb, full credit to them in every way.:cool:

what would you have done if one of them had turned around and shot ya?

Trying to rob an elderly couple? Brave men indeed.

Let's see now how brave they'll be when the judge adopts his grim expression, dons his black cap, and gives them their suspended sentences.

that answer is the usual one, an excuse to do nothing, which the scummers use as a deterrent to have a free run thro a life of minor crime.

The Citizen is smiling with approval.

This is what it means to 'take back your community'. Well done to you and your brother OP !! If more people like yourselves stood up to these bastards, there would be less crime.

Agreed, but the thing is, I don't really thing this is a 'minor' crime.

What if they got into the house and terrified the bajaysus out of the poor inhabitants and they end up having a fatal heart attack, or living in fear for their rest of their days etc.

Hallyington · 07-03-2013 07:47PM

I was half expecting the story to end with you crucifying them.

The problem is that the court will view this as a minor crime: The only evidence will be, at best, the OP's brother giving evidence of seeing them jump a wall and "try to break through a back door" which isn't even attempted burglary.

It's a trespass charge, at best.

I'm sure their shaking in their boots.

Im just glad nobody got hurt. Sounds like there was a few dodgy characters who came out 'armed'

Mate of mine had his bike stolen from his garden, I've had two good jackets stolen recently and just heard tonight at training that one of the lads had his bike stolen at training on Tuesday.

It really is so so good to hear that these scumbags with their sad pathetic lives do not always get away with it. I hope those three individuals use this as wakeup-call to do something useful with their lives instead of wasting their existences making the world a worse place. There is always hope.

Thanks for sharing OP, spread the hope!

Pikeys???.....We need more Padraig Nally justice for these scumbags,they have no fear of the law.

emptybladder · 07-03-2013 10:43PM

And they've been in court already. All Dublin addresses I heard.

I'm not trying to rain on the parade here, and I'm happy to hear the OP's story, it was a good outcome, and probably the best, given the potential for those scumbags to seriously harm somebody in the house.

But I have to ask: what hope?

These prícks will be back on the street before lunchtime tomorrow.

EDIT Friday 10:41am: Judge Geoffrey Browne refused bail! Remand til Monday! I was wrong. It'll be lunchtime Monday before they get out.

After one car stolen (in our drive, during the day, with me home--they used a bed tower to hoist it up on to the truck--took less than 3 minutes according to the neighbour who watched it happen), and the guards telling us we were wasting our time, one attempted break in in our home after they tried a neighbours home, 2 vandalisms of the car locks trying to get into the stolen car weeks before the theft (again guards wasting time speech), we decided to set up hidden CCTV pointed at a clunker we bought from a neighbour's eldest boy on the street. We unlocked the doors and turned the alarm off. 8 days ago, it paid off. At 3:15 am, I heard a loud whistle outside (up with the flu). I peeked outside the window and sure enough there was one yob sitting in the car and one on his way to join him in it. We quietly tiptoed downstairs and went out the back door, both of us with a hurley in our hands. Our intention was to lock them in the car with the keyfob and let our hurleys do the talking if they tried to get out. Unfortunately, they saw us coming out of the gate and ran. The guards were too busy to stop by. I'm sick of living in Dublin.

Had a visit last Sunday at 4am from some of them, disturbing to say the least, Padraic had the right idea, rang Guards at ten past four, Guards arrived at five fifty. Hopefully there is still people like Padraic, still out there. It is the only hope people have living so far from protection. Shatter does not have too worry about that does he.

Reading the Galwaybay FM court report one has to ask,what are these "Legal Reasons" which keep arising when it comes to naming chaps appearing in open court ?

Patrick Connors, who is 22 today, of 9 Daletree Place, Daletree Estate, Dublin 24, along with 18 year old David Casey, from 10 Lathaleer, Baltinglass, Co. Wicklow and a 16-year-old juvenile, who cannot be named for legal reasons, all appeared in custody dressed in Garda issue matching grey track suits and white runners.

One also wonders what the Garda fashion budget is this year,what with having to offer matching accessories n all....!

A few years ago(4/5), i was moving home from college. I arrived home at about 10pm so i said id leave my belongings in the car over night. Now this is a really nice part of the country (moycullen) so forgive me for not being super security conscious. Anyway i wake up the next morning, my first day of holidays and notice my petrol cap is open(yeah, they even took my petrol), when i get to the car my stuff is scattered all over the place. A lot of expensive stuff is gone. My ps2, my favorite leather jacket, my TV etc...

Anyway fast forward to present day, bought a car about a month ago and have been washing it every weekend (that fresh car feeling). When washing it on Sunday i notice that the bastards were back, they tried breaking in through the rear passenger door. The handle was pretty much hanging off the car. Now this was in good working order last Sunday and parts of it have been removed.

The bástards, if i catch them at it there will be war
