GOLDEN OLDIE Â Â 15 #1 Posted October 18, 2010 Be aware of lead thieves!! Our terraced house on Stannington Road together with all our neighbours has had the lead flashing from the chimney torn off over the past few weeks. We have only all been aware of it when water started to come through the attic walls, Some of the houses have had scaffolding around their houses for roof repairs at various times which would give access to all the roofs. Could have been more than lead stolen if attic windows were left open!! Pity they didn't fall and break their necks!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

jaffa1 Â Â 10 #3 Posted October 18, 2010 There's been a white lorry type waggon going round today in the Stannington road area. Two older blokes and a young man, their wagon were full of anything metal from peoples gardens. They had the cheek to walk straight past me and check down the side of our house,. Their eyes lit up when they saw what my neighbour had outside but he happened to be at the bottom of the garden at the time. I could kick myself for not asking them what they were looking for and for not taking their registeration number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
akasha   10 #4 Posted October 18, 2010 I have posted about this before, they were round here a couple of weeks ago in s6. I am also noticing the amount of things being reoprted stolen on here......... most of them metal!! ....... doesnt take much of a brian to put 2 and 2 together! It seems these people dont ask, just take, so keep your eye out for them. I have info about the van i saw, which was also a white one, and im wondering if it s proabably the same one. If anyone needs to discuss this further, PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

sheffcruiser   10 #10 Posted October 19, 2010 i live on stannington road and have seen this particular vehicle around. A friend of mine has also had various things stolen, apparently by the same suspects. I do hope they make a visit to my property because i am very sure my dogs and myself would love to meet and greet them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
