I reckon it was Beano

Where was your Dog?

Joking aside, they didn't nick some games, Play TV and a QED HDMI lead did they?

This looks very cheap added today...

And as we all know, it is alleged that Gumtree is the UK's biggest "fence"  after ebay. Allegedly.

sorry to hear your news fred.
robbing someones house when they are in is insane.

as the twat left blood i'm sure the law will catch him.whether he will get proper justice is another thing.
bound to have previous and i'd bet is a heroin addict.

In all honsty the police have been brilliant, credit where its due.

The soco said that he would probably be already known to them. Now they have his blood and prints all over my place they are quite optimistic.

As for proper justice, there is more than one way of skinning a cat

If he's left blood and prints all over the place, there's a good chance he's been caught before. He's no Raffles is he?Don't skin his cat, it's not the cat's fault. Just kick the shit out of him

How they get in mate?

It's shocking what lengths people go to- hope all is ok Fred and Jenna is ok.

Why your gaff though? Unless he tried all the houses along your road?

expect to be enraged further down the line here fred.

the snivelling robber will no doubt have that skinny cunt rob ross pleading with the court how the evil drugs are to blame and he's a good guy really.
will probably get a pathetic sentence,or even just free rehab out of it.

Is he the rat boy with the ponytail? Is he legal aid something?

Scumbag or Scumbags lets hope they catch them but do the old bill go to the trouble getting DAN for burglaries as i was under the impression they only do that for rape/murder.

yeah


SOCO were all over the place taking swabs of blood, fingerprints and photo's

ha fucking ha

Glad you got all the stuff back.

Hopefully pressing charges actually helps the thick shit take a different path in life.

What a weird situation. I'd be tempted to press charges. He has to realise mummy and daddy can't get him out of trouble his entire life.

You have your stuff back and the parents obviously care, I guess they will dish out better punishment than the courts

Its not that, he fucking broke in to my fucking house when myself and my daughter were asleep. I had to have her sleeping in my bed last night and now she is reticent about staying here.

I am separated and I only get to have her to stay every other weekend.

That my friend is damage.

More damage than you can put a price on

Prosecute the cunt to the fucking hilt

The court will do fuck all. 16 year old, first offence. Just prepare to be disappointed as they will probably just give him a curfew

They may surprise us all and chop his hands off

Not for any of us to say what Fred should or should not do.

It's his piece of mind (and probably more importantly Jenna's) that's been violated, which I guess is way more important than the stuff. But I'd take my hat off to the parents - that takes real guts and shows the lad a proper example. If more parents acted like they did, we'd have a lot less problems.

Do what you like Fred, I don't think anyone is saying otherwise. But put it on the internet and people will put their two pence worth into the pot.

Well let us know what happens next.

Maybe an inappropriate time/place, but say if Jenna did this how would you deal with it? I'm not saying she would do that, but I'm just interested how a parent would handle the situation if the shoe was on the other foot, since parenting has been brought into it.

**Disclaimer**

No. I haven't got Crispy pregnant, he's just fat.

Fair enough mate.

I've always taken the point of view that a parent can only do so much. A kid or even an adult is their own person and can quite readily commit their own mistakes. That's probably a reason for going to the court.

I suppose the silver lining is you got your 18 years worth of work back. Put it somewhere safe :)

Nothing is failsafe, but a spare copy somewhere might not be a bad idea, if it's all stored digitally.

Fred has to do what he thinks is right.

Could also use internet storage. Best to have several places where it's kept.

Putting aside the claim from his parents that the lad in question hasn't done this before, the little cunt broke in to Freds house, presumably in the middle of the night, when he and his daughter were asleep.

That action alone means he needs a big fucking wake up call. By the sound of things, he was fucking lucky the occupants were asleep and that the family dog is a lazy fucker.

Kids learn right from wrong primarily from their parents. In this case, either the kid didnt listen and learn, or the parents failed to teach him. Either way, the twat deserves whats comming to him, lawfully or otherwise.

Everyone has the right to feel safe and secure in their own fucking house. No one grants that right, it's just a given.

Someone violates your space, let alone breaks into house he/she pays the fucking price.

If he/she didnt realise the possible consequences when they chose to bump the lock and walk through the door, tough fucking shit.

Don't suppose you asked if he had my fucking bike?

fred i've read your post, and yours only and am repsonding to that.aint read anything else yet.
my view.....
otherwise decent 16 year old kids dont start crime by doing creeper burglaries.they work their way up to that level of theft.
dont let the parents sob stories change your mind.press charges.
if he's a good kid he wont have previous will he.(i'd be bloody staggered if this is the case)and the court will give him a second chance.if he's a bad un with history then hopefully they'll come down hard on him.

Trouble is with the courts giving him, a second chance. They may give him a slap on the wrist & he may think thats cool, the worst that can happen to me is a slap on the wrists.
He needs a punishment that would make him not want to do it again.

No previous has shown up, but that just means he had not been caught yet

But didn't he also break into the house a few doors down? If so, then its not an isolated case.

It wouldn't just be a 'slap on the wrist' though, would it? Someone I know was victim to a creeper burglary earlier this year and the police caught the guys who did it. One didn't have any previous and he got a fine, community service and a 12 month probation period.

But didn't he also break into the house a few doors down? If so, then its not an isolated case. Did they get their stuff back? It is very difficult to believe this was a first offence as arriba says. 

Was he 16?

Was he 16?

the lock was popped but nothing taken mate

it was his first day at college yesterday bless him and yes he is 16

didn't college start last month?

  What's happened to the TEF vigilante group?

Glad you got all your stuff back Fred. Big up to his mum and dad

Do I shop him or do I give him a break and not screw up his life for ever?

Nasty moral dilemma and I really don't know what I'd in the circumstances

Hang in a sec.

Before making such a sarky, unneeded comment. Did you stop to think for one sec that shopping him might be for his own good? Giving him a shock now might put him on the straight and narrow before it is too late.

Nasty moral dilemma or simplistic narrow minded view?

And I think that although Fred was expecting different opinions, he was certainly not expecting stabbing remarks.

Think you have me a bit wrong on that one

I genuinely don't know what happened there.

I somehow got you mixed up with a discussion on another forum entirely, freaky.

Sorry about that.

Bleedin 'Eck. I've already apologised haven't I.

And yeah, I did get tied up with another thread on another forum, call it a Fruedian slip if you will. When I checked back again it was a different post to how I initially perceived it.

Stranger things have happened at sea.

Dont worry Red.....STFC in Bournemouth is a laid back kind of guy.....forget it..he has.

This is a real good post, he needs to be punished you eaither tell the police you want to see it thro the court, or you stalk him for 10 or so years wait till he has his own house with his daughter asleep upstairs and you break in and return the favor see how he likes it. eaither way you have to do something about him he could do it next week and hurt someone.

So you're not going to shit in his mouth then?

i think you're being too soft fred.
that says alot about you being a decent human being though

Just to let you all know that after some serious soul searching this is what we have decided to do, I have spoken to the police and its going to go like this ;

He will be processed and go through the system and on to youth court.

I will write a letter to the court stating that I respect his Mum, Dad and Step Dad's actions and to me, it is testament that he comes from a stand up kind of family.

I will state that whilst I want (and need) some form of closure and for this to come to a conclusion, I also do not want some pissed up stupid mistake to affect his life for ever and I would ask the court to bear that in mind when sentencing.

I hope that then that will be the end of it and that myself and Jenna can try and resume our lives and that he has learned a valuable lesson.



I have made a lot of mistakes in my life and people have given me second chances. Its now my turn to do the same.

Lets hope all concerned can draw a line underneath it

Does this mean I've got to find something else to do with this huge bucket of tar and feathers I've collected? Bah!
