if you want the police to attend anything just mention a gun they have to respond with in a hour of any call about a firearm even if its someone standing in a field shooting pigeon. so i would say get the address then say to the police you went to the address to buy your stolen saw back and they threatened you with a gun or while you where buying something off him you noticed a sawn of shotgun in the corner police will be there very quick. know this of experience freind of mine was getting his shed broken into phoned police they said wouldn't be able to get there for 4 hours minimum they guys are still in his shed he hangs up the phone call back 2 minutes later saying don't bother turning up i've sorted it i have shot them with in 10 minutes 3 cars with armed response officers turn in his garden and catches the thieves red handed. but gave my mate a strong warning of making false report calls to the police. he replied with you told me you couldnt spare a officer for 4 hours so who was also telling false information and said you can turn up if you want to but you chose not to to have a easy day just give a crime number out

 

It's been a while since I heard this story; thank you for reminding me of it.

if you want the police to attend anything just mention a gun they have to respond with in a hour

 

About 100yds from where I sit now, there is a wooden bench sitting under some laylandii on a small verge beside a lane in this sleepy Devon village. One morning in february at around 8.00 am, just as the kids were going to the bus I spotted a guy sat on this bench wearing face paint, full camoflage kit, a helmet with twigs stuck in it and cradling an automatic weapon on his lap.

He appeared to be on a different planet, unaware of his surroundings and often his head dropped to his knees as he gently rocked back and forth.

 

So I dialled 999. I was then interrogated for 10 minutes by the operator.

What did he look like? " action man"

How tall? "like I said, he is sat down"

What sort of gun? " I have no idea"

Have you asked him what he is doing there? " not bloody likely, he's acting weird and got a bloody gun"

 

Anyway, phone call over, and I sat back waiting for sirens, helicopters, SWAT and Bruce Willis to turn up.

 

An hour later, nothing has even disturbed the birds. The guy was still there rocking about but had dropped his rifle.

 

Then the police called back. They conveyed the thanks of the Royal Marines who had lost a guy on a night exercise on Woodbury Common. They were coming to fetch him.

Seems he was a Marine Bandsman, but they still have to join in the exercises from time to time. He had been wandering about in sub zero temperatures and was suffering from exposure and hypthermia.

Yeah! Great idea there Spiral.

And then you all get home, have a few beers and celebrate getting your kit back and doing the scrote over.

And then all your mates go back to theirs.

And then, when you're alone, 2 or 3 landrovers and transits quietly draw up outside and switch their lights off...

 

Or worse, you go to the pub with your mates, leaving your wife and kids at home alone!

Who mentioned doing the scrote over?.

 

But yes Ive lived my life, & you've lived yours. we have different hearts & experiences.

 

I choose not to live in fear when possible...

 

I realise some theve are ruthless organised gangs, some are psychotic nutters but many are also just sneaky little weasels.

 

If one went to collect there own belongings it would be soon easy to deduce which grouping they fell into.

 

Id guess 75% are just weasels... if its the other 25% re appraise the situation, depending on which percentage you are... If its the 10% be very cautious.

 

If its the 1%, you might just to have swallow it...

 

But each to their own...

^ Don't know if I've missed something here or not, but I was replying to your suggestion of going round with a gang of mates to bully and intimidate someone; presumably in the hope that you could: I meant to suggest that you shouldn't be surprised if you then get a return visit from that person with a group of his mates.

 

This seems to be fine if the object of your desire is smaller than you and has no mates, otherwise it could go downhill when it turns out that he has lots of mates and brothers and cousins, all of whom are bigger than you and yours.

 

But I suppose that that is still ok as long as your sticks are longer, your swords are sharper and your guns make more noise than theirs.

 

Oh and as long as old man Johnson who lives on his own in the cottage at the edge of town doesn't mind playing the part of Poland in all this.

 

When it comes to living in fear though, people rarely have the choice, it seems to ride in unbidden where it will.
