    Some people love deflection therefore cannot stick to a question without having to point fingers and blaming everyone else.

    So please tell me what inaccuracies are you referring to? the one where you say I could see him from my back door? yeah that's right YOU were wrong.

    Haven't read all the replies yet so not sure if this has been mentioned, I saw on tv not long ago about a device that can stop cars from being locked so the owner things by pressing your lock button your car is locked but the theif has interupted with the signal so the car is left unlocked so they can come back later. Double check you're lights flash and the car locks when pressing the button.

    I will post an update when I get back from the police station tomorrow that's if I don't get arrested.

    The law allows for "reasonable force" to protect yourself and your property.

    This is what she did.

    If she had used a gun or knife then that would be unreasonable.

    Methinks you are trolling.

    Maybe!?

    The fact is: I've been posting for 2yrs ... hardly a "troll" post count? By that same token ... you have 4 posts? :think: Difficult to decide really ;)

    I remember seeing that programme and I did think about that last night as I was sure that I locked the car, but as I took my shopping out the boot maybe I forgot. Actually I will find out tomorrow after the police have reviewed the CCTV images.

    Maybe someone drew his attention to this thread as they couldn't believe the absurdities coming out of some poeple's (read - your) mouth ;)

    I read with interest that on one post you comment that you are not an authority yet set out your opinions as fact?

    Erm.. I noted your post number hence suggested Trolling and not a troll (there is a difference). I didn't bore myself with your other posts so cannot comment on their validity. ;) More is not always better.

    However, the four (now 5) I have will all be valid and/or factually accurate. If they are not I will have clearly marked them as my opinion and not fact.

    Best of luck Yvonne.

    I certainly hope the evidence your and your neighbours' cameras provide will ensure the police will see what happened and you will be fine.

    Feel free to correct me if I am wrong :) Do not be shy; facts do speak for themselves :)
