    anyway to answer the op - yeah perhaps!!! my car was broken into last wednesday about €1.70 in change and a camera.
    so if anyone is offered a camera with no receipt, no box, no software and now way to charge the battery - it's mine. (perhaps they didn't like my photography :))
    maybe someone might notice a disadvantaged, misunderstood scowling youth with a piece of equipment thats way above their IQ, perhaps they might advise them to hand it into the cops! btw your fingerprints are now on file (well done)

    like who breaks into a car and steals small change? huh?

    yip the town is heading south ok!! :mad:

    Bad news Fionn.. Where was the car parked? Day or night? I assumed the law said don't call us we'll call you.. Was the camera on the seat on display? I hope you have a backup so you can keep posting the local shots your doing here....

    As a blow in for the last 5 years and somebody who's been coming to the town for the last 20 (my wife is a local). The clannish accusations are unfortunately true to an extent. The people of Clonmel have always seemed a bit more guarded. However, once you show that you are willing to come a lot more than half way, then they can drop their defences and allow you in.
    There is certainly a snobbish old town burghers, captains of industry feel to parts of the town. There is a Powerstown Set, maybe not all living in Powerstown but you get the idea, who consider themselves old money and like in many towns in Ireland there is a ghettoisation factor to a couple of estates on the outskirts of town.
    Regardless of this most people are decent honest to goodness down to earth people if not a little clannish. It is well situated, it has amazing scenery. It has a lack of bars as opposed wide open lounges.
    When it comes to crime, and scumbags in general, while my sympathies extend to Fionn this is a problem in all of Ireland.
    As to the OP's question what can be done, a good start would be cctv in the Old Tesco carpark to stop the petrolheads terrorising people.

    Correct me if i'm wrong but i think you may be the first person to answer my question, so thanks.

    Yes i agree with you here.(although i'd call them boyracers) However it raises the following question. Gardai cctv is installed in the town so a) Is it not installed in the carpark if not why not? b) It is on the streets around it. are the gardai not monitoring the carry on in the surronding areas. c) why arent they doin something about it? They know where they hang around
