Hi all

my eldest and youngest boys (12/ 15) were victims of an attempted robbery last night.

My eldest put up a brave fight so that they, about 8 to 10 youths run off with nothing.

Both got hit a few times but thankfully nothing serious.

This all took place on a bus at about 6.30 pm and the only person to help was a black woman with a child.

The bus driver did not help, I do not blame him for not getting out of his cab but seeing as he was in a bus station he did not need to refuse to sound his assault alarm or call the police.

Any way the police who attended were excellent and he gave me a web site that helps you record all the details of your valuable items.

hope this helps as the times are now getting worse.

I thought we had little of any value but by the time the TV's ganes consoles etc add up I was surprised.

Happy new year

Birch the little bastards I say.

And bring back the days when a copper could give a no-good kid a thick ear without retribution.

Sorry to hear that Paul but glad they are both OK....top marks to your eldest lad....why don't you get him on a bit of a self-defence course of some kind? Good time to catch his attention.

thanks for the kind words and the best suggestion for punishment.

I got a few thick ears from our local bobby, not for robbery though and when my parents found out I would get another and when my nan found i would get another, and so on - it did not take to many thick ears to work out it was not worth the agro.

I will speak to him about self defence, good idea thanks

regards Paulp

Paul which bus company was it? Firstgroup & Stagecoach are almost all fitted with CCTV, This will show all what happened & show there faces, only downside is you will need to get the Police to ask for a download asap, the hard drive only lasts a week before if starts over again.
