I am not sure how to word this for fear of possible legal action but here goes.
After finishing work on Friday night, I arrive home at just gone midnight.
My front door is unlocked - nothing new there as my wife had done a double shift, come home knackered and gone to bed forgetting to lock the door......

I walk into the house and go upstairs into the bedroom and turn on the light.........to find a man stood at the side of the bed, trousers round ankles, C**k in hand !

Thank god the wife was flat out as she is a VERY heavy sleeper.

The man is forcibly ejected from the house.
At this point I make sure that the house is secure and at around 3am go to bed - not sure if to explain what had happened to my other half in the morning.

At around 4.30am i am awoken by a strange noise.....go downstairs and what do I find ?

The SAME bloke with my motorcycle keys in his hand !
Once again, he is ejected from the house - then I start thinking, I locked the door and the key was inside the lock so how did he get in ?

So, a quick look around and I find out how.....he had taken out one of the double glazed units in the conservatory, the sound that had woken me up was it smashing on the concrete edging of the path.

Thats enough - I ring the police and everyone and his brother turn up, Scenes of crimes, CID, the works.

The other half gets the treatment from them..."are you having an affair" etc and WE get treated like we are the criminals !

After spending the entire day talking to them they say all he can be done for is the damage to the conservatory window !!!

This is because he had not actually touched my wife....
My question was, what do they think would happen if I had walked into my daughters room and found the same thing ?

Their answer ?
That I would be prosecuted for GBH, manslaughter etc.

Is there something not right here ?
A man is found in your house doing something like that and then breaks into the property again later and all they will do him for is criminal damage.

The worst thing is that this bloke is still wandering around - how long before it happens to someone else, a single mother or something like that ?

A full description has been given to the police so hopefully it wont be long before they catch him.

Make sure you lock your doors at night.......

this is shocking. I take my hat off to you for not knocking this guy silly! must of taken a lot of restraint.
if you had not come home when you did god knows what this nutter would have done. i would suggest maybe getting window sensors since he has removed a window to get in.

Its been boarded up - the new double glazed unit will take about a week to get made - its just lucky that the patio doors have locks on the inside and there is nothing of value in the conservatory.

If the guy does come back he will be going to the cells via A&E....a third time might be seen as provocation I think.

Jesus this is an appaling story you have shown way more restrain than I would have. I would have battered him senseless they could charge me with whatever I wouldnt care aslong as he was in a coma.

If you dont mind me asking where about's in woodhouse was this I have friends who live there and my nan lives on Stradbroke but very close to Woodhouse.

We live on the severnside estate of all places.

This is totally typical of the police. They don't seem to see the seriousness of the nature of these crimes. What happens when it isn't enough of a thrill for him to just break into houses and look at women. What happens when he needs to start touching them?

It makes me sick...rapes and sex motivated murders happen because people don't recognise the warning signs early enough. In my opionion he should be sectioned now before he causes anybody any more damage.

What would worry me is that he came back, after being thrown out of the house once already. I am shocked and appalled that the police are not treating this matter more seriously; obviously driving around the city in motorbike convoys is much more important.

I'd review your security, incase he tries it again.

I remember you posted a few weeks ago about someone trying to pinch your bike - could this be connected?

A few months ago a fella tried getting into my mates house when mrs was alone ..she rang the police on 999 and they said make sure door was locked stay away from the windows...whilst she was on the phone the guy was banging on the door and windows .... she was terrified , the police talked her thru and said theyre on their way..... 4 hours later she rang them back , they didnt t turn up ...when mates mrs saw a neighbour next day she asked if shed seen or heard him she said she had seen him walking down mates path with a belt off his trousers wrapped around his hands!!!!!!!! what coulda happened i dread to think!!!!!!!!!!:rant: :rant: sheffield 12 area btw.not far from woodhouse.......

Did you know this man, or had you never seen him before?

surely you should have called the police straight away when you first found the guy:suspect:

A couple of years ago I had a friend who lived in a student house on London road. She had been out for the night and when she got in there was a man in her front room, knowing that her house mates had all stayed in that night she presumed his was a friend of theres and started chatting to him.

Half an hour later after making him a cup of tea and chatting to him she thought it was werid that no house mates had appeared to take care of him he then told her that he was the landlords son and was around to fix something, she realised that this did not make sense and asked why would he come around at 11:00 at night, the man did a runner out of the back door.

Whe she went upstairs and woke up her house mates they all realised that he had stolen stuff out of ther rooms when they were sleeping. One had his phone stolen from underneath his pillow.

My friend is tiny and I would of hated to imagine what could of happened. He could of easily pushed her out of the way as she came in... it was odd that he sat chatting and drinking tea for so long.

Yes, I do know this bloke, and have done for a number of years although I had not seen him for a while.
That is why I didnt ring the police the first time - he was very drunk (no excuse though) so I kicked him out with the thought that I would have "words" with him the next day.

However, by returning and breaking in, he has proved that my thoughts about him were totally wrong - I had always thought him a mild mannered, wouldnt hurt a fly type.
There is no connection to the attempted bike theft a while ago.

I must admit, that had I been drinking at work (im a dj for those of you who dont know) it would have been a very different matter :evil:

I must add that if this was a personal attack at us or not remains to be seen - although if it was, I or my wife have no idea why.

I'm not justifying this bloke being in your house - but your initial post tells a very different story doesn't it - almost like you were warning people about an unknown prowler that may enter their houses too?

Sorry about the trouble you've had, though.

As posted above, we have no idea if it was personal or not but if he could do this to people he knows what could he do if he got into a total strangers home ?

Yep, you edited your post to say about whether or not it was a personal attack at the same time I posted - so obviously it wasn't there while I was reading.

I appreciate what your saying, and think it must have been VERY scary for you both, but I kinda think there is a difference between a drunk friend coming round (and being bang out of order, may I hasten to add!), and worrying the good people of Woodhouse that there may be a mad bloke that will enter their house and possibly sexually assault them while they're in bed.

I'm not downplaying what's happened, I just don't think the original post gives the full picture. :)

Maybe but the point is that we had not seen him for a while and the last time we saw him he was moving to Bradford with his girlfriend (my wife and myself helped them pack) So finding him in the house was a total shock.

I also understand that he has been seen hanging around near an ex girlfriends house and she hasnt seen or heard of him for over 3 years.

This could be unrelated of course but it gets you thinking.

gosh i live in s12. i always think im safe around here but guess not now. there is some weirdos out there. i think even tho he did know him people still need to be warned about these sick people, obviously something is not right in his head. i will surely keep my door locked at nights now. hope he doesnt return to u.

Why are the police not charging him for burglary (this is before we even talk about indecent exposure)? Did they say?

I agree that DJ_Shadowman didn't make it clear that he did know this man but even so I don't think that makes any difference. I mean what normal human being would ever do something like that. Seriously? The man needs help...and the public need protection.

They have to find him before they can charge him - we didnt even know he was in Sheffield.

The fact that he didn't steal anything? But breaking and entering would surely be more appropriate than criminal damage.

You don't have to steal anything for it to be classed as burglary.

When they find him I dont care what they charge him with as long as it sticks.
He cannot be allowed to get away with this as he will only think that he can then do what he wants and get away with it.

What happens if he goes into town, gets blind drunk and assaulted a woman in town or wherever - think of the incident in Doncaster, what was the blokes name, Dieter Graw or something like that.

This kind of thing happens all too often, pensioners being raped in their own homes etc.....

The only thing that saved him from a really bad hiding was the fact that I didnt find him in one of my daughters rooms.

If my wife and myself can help put one of these type of scumbags away we will be happy with the knowledge that Sheffield is a slightly better place.

Are the police so reluctant because they think you may drop charges when you've had time to let the dust settle? Unfortunately there are many people who repart stuff and change their minds later - so the police wind up wasting time and resources on chasing 'criminals' they can do nothing about after they 'lose' their 'witness'

Of course, if people were made to reimburse the state for 'wasting police time' the situation may be different :rolleyes:

This bloke proved to me that he could be dangerous to women (and possibly kids) so I would happily stand up in court and testify if that was what needed.

I will take a lot of S**T but no-one messes with my family - ever :evil:

Can you persue a private prosecution then?

Probably, but I think that the police will charge him with something.

I would be worried with the person that sold me the conservatory also, that he got in so easy!

If the beading on your windows is on the outside, this will be how he got in so easy :S

this is worrying- i live in Woodhouse, just up the road from severnside. Luckily we have an alarm on our house so that would scare him off if he tried breaking in.

DJ I am totally shocked!

As you know, I live in Woodhouse so it makes it all the more scary for me. But how can the police not charge him with something more serious?? and how come YOU have to find him for the police - surely that's part of their job??

You'll see from an earlier post on another thread that I was 'brushed off' by the police and then someone matching the same description did the same thing but to two young girls - the police were then asking for help???

As well as un-nerving me a bit, this has really annoyed me. How can a stranger get away with coming into your house? Isn't that Trespass for a start? It's not clear how he got in the first time, but surely it is burglary?

If I woke to find a stranger in my bedroom (or house for that matter) I would probably freak out and batter him sensless - would I be the one to get 'done' by the police?

If I were you i'd write a letter of complaint to the Chief Constable and copy it in to your MP, maybe also contact the Star too. This sort of thing simply cannot be allowed to happen. :rant:

my nan lives on there too!! :o

surly if you know who it is you give the name and get him arrested instead of frightening the whole of severnside to death ,sounds odd to me

I did give the police the name of the guy.He has now done a moonlight and they cannot find him.
My point being that he obviously has a screw loose somewhere and he may try something like this again but with worse consequences for the people involved.

And why does it sound odd ?
Would you rather not know about a possible intruder/attacker wandering around where you live ?

And how have I frightened "the whole of severnside to death"... are they all on this forum ?

If they are all scared to death, it might keep the local scrotes indoors at night so that wouldnt be a bad thing now would it !

Bump...........................

DJ - curious, what does he look like? How old is he?

Had an 'incident' at my house last week - don't really want to go into details here, and I don't suppose it's the same person, but i'd be interested to have his description ... PM me if you prefer.

This sounds awful. God knows what I would do if I found him in my house.

Hope your OK and the police catch him!

Shadowman your a bigger man than me. Knowing him or not, id have given him a beating showing "reasonable force" :hihi: and then detained him til the police and ambulance arrived!

The very least you should have done is either give him a lickin then let him go the first time.

OR

Detained him then called the police!

Lets put it this way, now a report has been filed, should he ever turn up again and get into my property he wont be leaving under his own steam (I seem to recall something in the news the other day about entending the powers of the homeowner to defend themselves against intruders :D)


Hels.....pm sent

I bumped into a bloke I know the other day that also knows this guy - he told me that he gave him a kicking for something similar a couple of years ago.

We have 3 youing daughters, so if I ever find him in my house again :evil:

I wouldn't have waited for him to do it again Shadowman, the first time would have been plenty for me.

Man you got my respect for not kicking the **** out of the guy.

Sorry to say if I found myself in that situation in my house, said pervert would not be breathing now.... and I would honestly go down for it as well.

He could have raped your wife and your kids mate.. thats what you have got to think... if you hadnt arrived at that moment, what would have happened next?

What did your missus say when you told her in the morning??

So if anyone is reading this and is thinking of breaking into any houses in the Hackenthorpe area sometime soon, just remember this, if you manage to get into my house, you'll go out of it locked away in a black bag by some nice friendly policemen.

And I aint kidding.

Angelus, if he had touched my wife and she had woken up, SHE would have kicked the crap out of him.....

And if he had touched the kids she would, without a seconds hesitation, slit his throat (after removing certain other body parts !)

Nice one fella :D

Same as my missus then- all sweet nice and innocent one minute, a bleedin pitbull the next!

Yeah if he'd have been in my room he'd have been rather clumsy, he'd have "fallen" into the door a few times, "tripped" into the wall. And also "wrongly negatiated" a flight of stairs...

:thumbsup:

...And that would just be my missus for starters... before I put my exclamation mark on the situation!

Ya dopey sod, you should just have woken up the missis then, and let her sort him out for you. ;)

Seriously though, this Guy needs to be caught and put away as he is an obvious danger to women.

Simple solution.

Grab him, break his neck and leave him at the bottom of the stairs.

Now call me funny, but I've taken to not answering the door if it's not somebody I know or am expecting, or if I can't see a van with a logo to match their outfit. If they are anybody important they'll have an appointment, or will post a card so I can call them.
