Watch out, there's a thief about.
Three onto one again.
"Thieves escaped with hundreds of pounds worth of stolen items after robbing a cyclist as he rode home last week. Alex Davies, 40, was cycling along an alleyway near Long Grove Road in Epsom at about 7.40pm on Tuesday, October 4, when three men blocked his path. One of the men asked him for the time before demanding all of his belongings. Fearing for his safety, Mr Davies handed over his Hugo Boss wris****ch, Apple iPhone, Blackberry, car keys, Apple iPod Shuffle, various debit and credit cards plus several items of exercise clothing. He said: "I just decided I was going to give them what they wanted, not argue or try to be clever. "I am recovering well but I am concerned for single ladies or kids out walking in the same area as Epsom is the kind of place you think you are safe." Mr Davies was not injured during the robbery. The first man was black, 6ft 3inches and wearing a black bomber-style jacket with the hood up. The other two men were black, about 5ft 9inches and were both wearing black bomber-style jackets with the hood up. One of the men had cornrows. Mr Davies, according to a friend, was told by police that there had been a number of similar incidents in Epsom recently, matching the perpetrators descriptions. Detective Constable Leigh Wall said: "I am keen to speak to anyone who witnessed this robbery, especially two joggers who were in the area at the time, or anyone who was in the recreation ground as you may have vital information. "The victim was intimidated by the three suspects and believed they would hurt him if he did not comply with their demands. http://www.yourlocalguardian.co.uk/n...d_on_way_home/ -- Simon Mason http://www.simonmason.karoo.net/ |

What a ******. Do you think anyone gives two ****s. What is it about you sad *******s that you think you have to share the details of your material wealth. -- Simple Simon Mason - who cycles at 25mph in 20mph limits just because the limits do not apply to cyclists. This includes exceeding the speed limit past three schools. A total disregard for the well-being of vulnerable road users. The actions of a true psycholist. |

Jeez .. Blackberry, free on the plan I have at £15 a month, ipod £30 off ebay .. I doubt most scrotes would bother about lights, or even know what they cost, so I think they'd be relatively safe, Simon. I don't take a wallet or money, well an emergency fiver note, but I have a laminated card with name, postcode, phone No and blood group (ex-motorcycle racer so know it's sometimes worthwhile!). Most value I have with me (not intrinsic as such, maybe £400, but priceless to me) is a gold chain that holds my wedding ring, I would fight to keep that ... -- Paul - xxx "You know, all I wanna do is race .. and all I wanna do is win" Mark Cavendish, World Champion 2011. |

I don't have a wedding ring, but I do have a Road ID bracelet with my details on which I wear next to the watch but that would not be worth anything to the scrotes. I don't usually carry cash, but I do have a tenner in my wallet now as I will be going to get my hair cut at 0800 tomorrow morning and it is the only place I ever need any folding stuff these days. http://www.roadid.com/Common/Catalog.aspx?C=RoadID -- Simon Mason |
