Oh... you should have called!

None. Zero. Nada. Nix. Even left my keys in the door of my terraced house in an Essex market down after coming back from the pub one night and no-one entered my house to rob, murder or otherwise mess with me.

and in Newfoundland:

Bicycle stolen from (unlocked) garage.
Christmas Pressie necklace, unwisely left in glovebox of car on drive & unlocked, taken.
Driveway markers (the things you put out in the winter so you know where your drive is when plowing/blowing/shovelling snow) taken.

I'd say I live in a much safer and more upmarket area in Newfoundland than I did in Essex. Go, as they say, figure.

Sorry - That was all me :o

As they say - You can take the boy out of Dundee but you cant take Dundee out......................................

In Sidney, BC we have a terrible problem with pensioners running stop lights.

What IS the world coming to.... :blink:
