Yeah I don't agree with that bollocks, a scumbag is a scumbag. I've been posting having a laugh about an old friend but he deserved that mauling by that Malinois at the end of the day, it should have done his hands as well. Again, it's easy to get carried away in instances like this but if the stats don't reflect what's being said, then it means very little. If I were to be honest, the folk most likely to carry out those sorts of robberies around here are travellers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If and when the folk get caught who robbed Born, they should be imprisoned and then deported once their sentence is up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was no different round here back in the 80s early 90s XR2s 3s and RS turbos wernt safe.All our escort vans had dogleg or pepperpot alloys,Body kits and Recaros.My pals loved an XR4X4 Estate for a ram raid.I remember a big designer gear shop opening in Canterbury and not a week later we were all decked out in Joe Bloggs jeans and leather Nickleson puffers curtesy of the boys.And DT,KMX,TS,MTX would guarantee end up as a track bike if some poor f****r didn't keep it in their house overnight. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,909 Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 Okay, on the subject of burglary/theft. In this area there has been a rise in burglaries recently. When I get five minutes I want to look at the stats more closely. Over the last month hiluxs have been getting nicked almost twice weekly. On the local police FB pages last week alone they had several gangs in the nearby towns apprehended by police dogs at the scene of burglaries. At least one incident both burglars were armed with knives. CSI came over yesterday, found nothing and said it had all the hallmarks of professional opportunists. Noteworthy though was that the PCs on the scene and the CSI both assumed my baseball bat was left by the burglars. Seems to be completely normal that they arm themselves now? Anyway, apparently the MO now is smash and grab for gold and anything else small but high value. They don’t care for electronic goods really. They don’t even care to be quiet as they don’t intend to be there long enough to get caught. Back to the dog situation. I’m not going to rush into anything right now. I’ve half fancied a shepherd for some time anyway but tbh I wanted a break from more dogs for a while and with the general consensus being that it’s probably not the solution I thought it might be I need to focus on other avenues. I appreciate everyone’s comments though. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There’s a few men in England with decent stock not the usual shite you see knocking about.

Dunno, sounds ideal but I’m sure downsouth had said they have a reputation for being a bit unstable? I’m taking this seriously but can’t rush. Got a bitch here thats half cane corso; with me doing lots of nights the missus wanted a dog around for when I was out. From about 5 months old she would naturally gaurd. She's perfect around the kids, spaniel and stock. Shes 26tts and about 110lbs so looks the part; when the missus walks her she will always put herself between her and strangers until shes told 'off or walk on' and then will do so. If we're at beach/ up the woods and the kids wonder off to play she will follow them whilst keeping an eye on us aswell. Not a dog I wanted or would choose but she certainly fits the bill. Oh and super easy going; will happy go on a few mile run or lay about the house all day. Was a doddle to train aswell 11 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
