Lowerhouse CC robbery

[Jakubclaret]

I would rather my pocket was picked than someone break into my house at night, torture me and then empty my safe. That’s why there are different words and different levels of punishment.

So whilst you was out working as an example & your house got raided & your prized Rolex’s got stolen we’ll call it Cartier for the pain & you get home & discover the loss, do you consider yourself lucky that you wasn’t in the house? I’d consider myself unlucky for being burgled in the first place with robbery you’ve actually got a chance of defending your prized possessions albeit running the risk of something bad happening. I’d rather face a problem head on when I could be in control. There’s no good luck involved at any level when faced with theft of any description in fact exactly the opposite.

Hope they get the stuff back, I know that a lot off building plant that gets stolen is redeployed via a place in Huncoat and a place near Deadwood.

[Garnerssoap]

Are you saying there isn't much difference between someone breaking into an unoccupied shed, and someone being tied up and held at gunpoint? Ones burglary, the other is robbery

The other is actually assault, false imprisonment and possibly kidnapping.

I’ve contacted them in a similar situation, they don’t care the basic minimum requirement is to tick a box, you get the crime prevention advice & reference number, you would have to really insist upon them coming out, it’s too much work for them there’s almost zero chance of the items being recovered, sat in a nice warm van drinking a brew & ka-ching is modern day policing, the Dixon of dock green old style coppering belongs to a bygone era unfortunately due to immense cuts.

As previously mentioned - utter tosh

Nice to know we’ve got some met & ex met on the forum

This thread is truly pathetic and in many ways shows what this board has become.

Ringo nails it; who gives a flying *+%# what the crime was, it’s a crime and a local volunteer run community asset has been the victim of it. Amidst a pandemic that had seen it closed for all but 3 months it’s a pretty major blow.

HOPEY, on behalf of the club, posted on this board seeking help and within a handful of posts (some humerous and in good spirit) have had someone jump in to correct the use of language and that had subsequently descended into an embarrassing @“() swinging contest.

Pathetic, grow up.

Bore off you attention craving clown.

LOL the audacity!! I would say same about you but you aren’t even funny. I’ve spent the last 3 years schooling you, learn another lesson.

An early contender for post of the year.

I'm surprised that people are still taken in by the pair of pillocks that have littered the thread with their usual nonsense.

Don't give them airtime

[Dressinggown]

Sh*t.

This has nothing to do about terminology.

I'm gutted.

You cant even count, its 2021!

You've spent the last 5 years crying like an over indulged only child , cos you couldn't accept the referendum result!

Dry your eyes cup cake.

We left, it's done, you lost.

Ringo and democracy 1 . Burnley Arse and his "evidence" 0


Final score.

One poster side tracks the thread with sad pedantry. The other poster points it out. The first poster cannot control the reflex of reacting to his thinly veiled personal, resentment of forever being on the losing side of an argument . While at the same time being fully conscious that the other poster was on the victorious side.

It's the truth.

I'm cool with that.

[CaptainKirk]

Burnley Ace:
Have you not been paying attention these last few weeks?
No one is interested in your petty point scoring and that of one or two other posters on here.

[fatboy47]

Where as the following posts you made about Captain Tom suggest you're in pole position for .... of the decade!

You the Trump fella?

[Grumps]

I guess those complaining about what's being discussed on this thread haven't realised that by doing so, it's kept the thread near the top of the board and in people's mind, and not disappearing onto page 2 of this board and not being read
More people will now be aware of the crime, and it might just come to the notice of someone who can help catch the thieves and possibly recover the stolen items

Just give it a thought when you try to shut people up.

A lot of crimes contain elements of other crimes, such as a burglary where they break a window to get in a house and steal the telly. It will be classified as a burglary, but using your example it would also be criminal damage and theft?
A lot of robberies involve assaults, but only robbery would be charged

Okay, I’ll let you have it. This thread was worth it just for this.

[yTib]

it wasn't pointing out that it was a burglary that was pedantic; it was all the afterfluff.

ironically beginning with the accusation of pedantry.

get a grip forum!

I point out that the title is incorrect and then get personal abuse from the usual “bullies” and I’m in the wrong? “Burglary at Lowerhouse CC” that’s all it needed.

It makes them feel happy and important, as it's the only way they could ever bully someone, from behind a keyboard.

[Woonderbah]

Thank you Suzie Dent. Let’s hope the real police are as on the ball as the pedant police.

No need for all this pedantry in my opinion..
Oh it's Susie Dent not Suzie by the way

[jrgbfc]

Hope you can get the stuff back somehow. Colne CC had an issue when the clubhouse kept getting done a few years ago, soul-destroying.

See, this is the thing, you must have absolutely zero self awareness. It didn’t need pointing out, it was irrelevant to the purpose of the thread.

As said above, Hopey posted seeking help for a volunteer run community club. It didn’t need correcting.

Reminds me of a bit of Kevin Bridges stand up about if FB was a pub. I wonder how their drivel would go down in a pub?

I guess it was originally posted to make people aware, and help perhaps get their equipment back.

The thread is now on its second page, near the top, which more people will read, and increase the possibility of stuff being returned. All due to the discussions, which you obviously disagree with.

We could all shut up as you would like, the thread would slowly disappear to page 2,which nobody ever reads, and the possibility of getting anything back reduces.

We are doing our public duty

I presume this is a joke as you would have to be really dim to think that way really.

Nope, your example of tying someone up at gunpoint does not involve robbery or now criminal damage and theft.
You can’t change the question to fit your answer.
This is really why you scraped a Douglas.
You’re now up to £760 plus vat . I really do need to insist on a payment on account or I may well claim a pedantry uplift.

I tried explaining all this in simplistic terms, it’s almost as if gratitude needs to be expressed because a burglary took place instead of a robbery, like the victim seeks solace & can just forget what’s happened & can almost categorise the crime into some sort of a grading system, it’s become inexplicable that a silver lining doesn’t exist when anybody unfortunately falls victim to theft.
