    This was one of the reasons that we moved out of there as our car had been broken into twice.
    That car park is way too secluded.

    A girl also got attacked by 2 men one night. It got to a stage where I had to ring my then Fiance now my husband to come out to collect me at night!

    Wow is it really that bad up there? I have heard one or two stories of a few scumbags around but I was actually thinking of renting there for a few months because it was a handy location and less than half hour drive to work. So what is Mount Suir REALLY like, any past or present tenants care to spill?

    Living there right now, been there for 6 months. All sorts of scum seem to live and hang around here. This place has made me have to call 999 for the first time.
    I have never known what anxiety is until I lived here.

    Someone just graffitied sex multiple times in huge letters in my hallway. My letter box has been broken multiple times.

    No one gives a **** about this place!

    ^ Wow i hope you manage to get out of there soon, it seems I may have dodged a bullet. I have noticed a few unsavory types around there but I dont know what its like at night time..and to hear the letting agent, she has nothing but good things to say about the place. Dont they have any cameras in that car park?

    Well I probably have had it worse than most, a lot of the above has been caused by one guy, not all, but a lot.
    There's no cameras anywhere in the building.

    To top it all off the management company is a joke.

    My uncles car had the back wheel taken while the car was in his driveway in Ashley Court the other night. That is one brazen act, and its not likes its quiet, I have no idea how they didnt wake him or any of the neighbours, its a quiet cul de sac like

    Heard the same happened to cars in viewmount the same night, all Toyotas

    Did anyone ever expect vermin to do this? Probably and hopefully not.

    I don't have locking nuts, I dont have CCTV covering every square inch of my property, I don't carry a weapon for self defence.

    Sometimes sh!t happens.

    Worthless and more of a hassle tbh.
    You can get them off no problem if you just beat a socket over them.

    No one is going to be beating a socket over a locking nut if they are steeling a wheel the noise it would make would be loud enough to wake somebody.

    Friend of mine had her tire stolen in the carraig an aird area two days ago. They left the jack there and also the bolts on the ground. Must be the same crowd doing it moving from estate to estate. Also heard of it happening to a guy I work with in the lismore park area the same night. Frightening to know that the scum out there are going around doing this right outside people's front doors. :-(

    I wouldn't say it's the tyres they are after it's the alloys themselves as they can go for a lot of money. You would never get a tyre off a car with out sticking it on a machine where as an alloy can easily be nicked and a good tyre on the alloy is a bonus.
