I had my car broken into on Rippon Road at the top of Holme Lane, two weeks before Xmas.
They smashed one of the small rear side windows and got away with my sat nav holder and an iphone lightening cable. They also had a good rummage around in the boot as the spare tyre was lifted right out of its socket.
I reported it to the police and they just advised me that unless there is any blood or CDs with fingerprints on them then they can't lift prints from cars.
They also advised me to leave nothing of value and the glove box empty and open when leaving the car. Although from what other people are saying this seems to be of little deterrant to these scumbags.
I've also seen a group of four hoodies regularily walking down our street, being quite loud and abusive, mostly between 12-1AM at the weekends.
Last year we had a spate of cars on our street which had their wing mirrors ripped off. It is so fraustrating as there is little you can do, to stop them from doing it.
