The stats for the ten most burgled post codes has just been released. London has 5 of the top 10, Manchester 1, Bradford 1 and the Mecca of the North, Leeds, has 3 including the coveted number 1 slot. Hull does not feature. I wonder if the Yorkshire Post will be all over that little gem? It's on The Daily Mail web site if anyone's interested.
My daughter's at Uni in Leeds - their house got broken into just before Xmas - the toe rag got away with the contents of .................. the fridge .... what does that tell you...
That would have at least been credible - 5 girls living in the house - he stole their faddy food the ****
In terms of population proportion Leeds is not doing well there - and it can't have anything to do with socio-economic (bet that word is a rarity on the whole site) conditions, as isn't Hull the worst place for finding work.
Finally, Leeds top of the table at something. HU6 is at #12 in the table. So we don't escape totally.
Remember this is number of insurance claims not actual burglaries, a lot of people don't have insurance or don't claim and minor burglaries don't always get reported. I've lived in Leeds for 6 years never had a problem, including 4 years in the student area, my house in HU10 however has been broken into 3 times.
i was burgled in 1996 - that night i slept under the still busted window in the kitchen with a claw hammer hoping some scroat would try again . we didnt have much then but the scum ****s took what we had , we found it at a second hand shop on SpringBank , the cock sucking policeofficer at Queens Gdns asked me if i would pay part of the cost to get my goods back . I told him what i thought of him , the secondhand shop keeper and the burglar and just took my stuff and left . the copper also said SH shops are a good thing and serve the local community well - as i say cock sucker !!!
When i lived in Roundhay, Leeds I had a Fiat Uno that wouldn't start, so I left it outside my flat & went to Scarborough for a couple of days, when I went back my car had gone, someone had managed to steal a car that didn't work. I reported it to the police & heard nothing until a year later, I had left Leeds & moved back to Scarborough. I got a phone call saying they had found my car, I had forgotten about it, so I went through to find that it was about 2 streets away from where I lived & still didn't work. They wanted to charge me £50 to get it back to me or they would scrap it. I asked how much to scrap it & they said nothing, so I left the car for them to sort out & never seen it since. Still have the key for it somewhere though.
He went into one of the girls room and tried to nick her computer - she chased him and pushed him down the stairs - he left the computer but ran out the back door where he had broken in - taking the food he had already piled just outside the door!
