I'm not the only person that mentioned the bridge. Does it even matter who mentioned the bridge? What has that got to do with anything?

I believe the point of this thread is to highlight the high rate of break ins recently.

Dont mind them they're only winding you up sure. Plenty of places out around ballymountain robbed aswell.

That would be breaking the law Mr. Biker lol :P

Yeah the small dog is a noisy one, if he sees/hears anything he starts yapping and the big dog would scare off any intruders.

Not saying there's any ideal time of the year to be robbed but coming up to Christmas would just be awful.

I got weapons in my house but no excuses if I have to use them at the end of the day, getting arrested for battering a robber is better than your family picking out your coffin.

The amount of times I have seen the guards ignore assaults where I live is unreal, but things never change no one will get fired and things just stay the same. Even though I do think Waterford when all is said is one of the safest places to live in Waterford.

The guards in this town are scared of most of the people involved in these robberies. How often have we heard them say "oh we know who did it"...

Perhaps we need to get the city council to install some of these kerbs around the city

michellie

My colleague was held up with a knife lastnight, you probably heard it on wlr, serious scumbags around this town lately!

Brick Session

Unreal whats going on at the moment, heard it this morning ok, also heard the lady on yesterday morning whose house was broken into in Ferrybank. She was really shook up.

I've spoken to people before about this because there is a lot of confusion out there about the law regarding defending your house or your property.

I'm not a solicitor but as far as I understand, if someone breaks into your house or trespasses on your property, you are allowed to use reasonable force to defend yourself, your family, friends and property. What is reasonable depends on the circumstances.

A lot of people think that if they attack a burglar in their own home, they will go to jail, that is not the case. If someone breaks into your house and you attack them, there is not a court in the land that will convict you.

In the DPP v Barnes case, the judge said that you do not need to retreat if you come face to face with a burglar in your home, you can stand your ground and that cannot be used against you. In the Nally case, the home owner shot the burglar as he walked away from the property. Nally was acquitted on appeal.

I think it's terrible that people out there feel that they are powerless to defend their own home. That is not the case!
If a kid steps foot on your garden to retrieve a football, that is 1 thing, but a burglar breaking into your home who potentially has a dangerous weapon (again something that will be in your favour should you end up being charged for assaulting/killing an intruder - the uncertainty of whether he/she was armed with a weapon) is a different kettle of fish.

3 things I believe would ensure you would not be punished if you were to attack or even kill a burglar in your own home:
(i) The law allows reasonable force to defend your home and family
(ii) The jury in any case will be composed of ordinary men and women who will certainly understand your point of view, that is if a charge is brought.
(iii) There would be a huge public outcry if someone was put in jail for defending themselves. This would cause other people to become even more reluctant to stand up for themselves in their own home and for all their flaws, the judiciary is aware of things like this.

My advice, someone comes into your house, make sure they won't be in a position to enter someone else's afterwards.

I've taken the axe from the shed & its resting nest to my bed

poor fella i wonder did the marines help him to his feet!!

My mums house was done in ferrybank roughly a month ago... the guy went around the side of the house, in the back door while my mum and brother were in the sitting room. My brother was going into the kitchen to put rubbish in the bin and there was your man just standin there with his hands in my mums handbag. He tore off and my brother tore after him to try get the bag, the robber stopped running, came back to my brother and went to hit him..

This is how cheeky they are, they will stroll in even when you are in the next room... I could not believe it.

When she called the gardai all they could say was "Oh shor it will be happening alot now this time of year" ... which as pretty much all they did...........didnt even look for prints

seanybiker

Did your brother give the borrox a few slaps? Please tell me he kicked him from one end of the street to the other

Evelynmc

You will be pleased to know he got a slap on him with a small wooden lat the only good outcome from it >_>

Excellent

Not The Real Scarecrow

As far as I can make out, the guards are half the problem.They know who the feckers are but do nothing about it for various reasons(scared, know nothing will come from it or just laziness). The scum know this only too well and know they can and will get away with it. Being honest I don't know how the whole situation can be resolved. From my experience kicking the **** out of em doesn't deter them too much. Guaranteed they won't go back to your place or if they're from a certain ethnicity they'll keep coming back and make life hell for you. I don't know if petitioning some one further up the chain (guards)would do any good or getting on to local politicians to put pressure on the guards to do their job.Either way the current situation could be easily resolved by a determined and aggressive form of policing and better interaction in the community. If it works in other countries I don't see why it can't work here.

My mam told me that someone she knows had her house broke into recently, they even kicked the tripe out of the poor woman's little dog. Some scum - It's about time someone sorts them out.
