Cycleracer   10 #1 Posted November 19, 2003 Well trousers to be exact. I bought a new pair of trousers at Meadowhall and put the bag at the side of me on a bench. I turned my back for two seconds and some one knicked the bag with my new trousers in it. I chased the bloke but lost him in the crowd. He was about 6'3" with blonde hair about 20 years old.  So if you see a young wipersnapper with trousers that come to his knee caps, then there mine.     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Can't be bothered with doing any statements and all that, at least i,m still in one piece so i'll leave it. When he see's the price tag he might return them and smack me for insulting him.

fnkysknky   10 #7 Posted November 19, 2003 Originally posted by Lickszz I'm not saying they would but at least it would have been reported as a crime.  But what does that achieve apart from scaring people next time the crime figures are published? The police wouldn't even follow it up.  As for CCTV - it's bloody useless anyway.  As you may tell from this post - I have absolutely no confidence in the police Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Theft is a cancerous meme.  But you should report it if possible.The more we know about the type and level of crime occurring in the city, the better placed we are to try and deal with it.

Whatever that means, i have just reported it as a theft and that will be the last of it. can't see the police getting to exited about it but they can't be many 6'3"ers walking around with a 29" trouser leg.
