    It’s scary to think there is this pocket of children/youths that are allowed to go around causing havoc. If they are this bad now, what is it going to be like in 5 or 10 years time? As I said before the lad that did our car this time is 10 years old. The PCSO reckons he is responsible for a large number of incidents. If they know this, then why aren’t they doing something about it? If the parents aren’t interested in keeping them in check, stick them in a residential home.

    I really feel for the poor lady’s family :(

    If you read a few posts up, you’ll see I am a Caia resident and have fallen victim of idiots on at least 25 occasions over the last 18 months.

    Of our most recent trouble over 2 weeks ago we are still waiting for the Police to contact us. It is only because my partner went to the station amd moidered HK that we were able to get the car back. Nobody from the Police let us know it had been released nor if they have any evidence. We know who did it, we have been given exact details and we have past these on to Police.

    Yesterday we saw 2 pairs of PCSO’s or hobby bobbies as we call them walking around the estate, but that is the first time in years. You call the Police for anything and if you are lucky they may get round to coming out in a week or so, assuming they can be bothered.

    So sad to hear about the old lady. I would like to think this will shock some sense into these idiots.

    I bought a 250k house next to Caia and people did warm me not too.
    I had three hoodies knocking on my door at 9.30pm on 30th oct, soon as they spotted my security camera they ran….suspicious? But this is they way I’m made to feel now.

    This is happening all over, not just in Caia. Nor is it known if the idiot that caused this tradgedy is from Caia. Tarring the entire estate with the same brush is not helping anyone.

    Did see two police cars complete with officers by Websters on the estate at about 5.45 ish ths evening. Couldn’t see what they were doing as was driving past at the time. Unusual to see two cars together though, normally only see them stationary when they are trying to catch speeders :rolleyes:

    Sadly this seems to confirm that there’s a group of serial-arsonists in Queens Park.

    Yes, bet you can’t guess where I live :rolleyes: It is because of idiots like this that I am ashamed to tell people I live in Caia Park :mad:

    A PCSO I spoke to recently thinks it is probably the same gang so they are most likely pre-teens which is very scary.

    We are lucky in the sense that we live in a reasonably good street with good neighbours. If it weren’t for the council dumping all the drunks and druggies in the flats in the middle it would be a very respectable street.

    18 months ago we went through a year of hell, for reasons unknown to us, we were targetted by vandals. We must have gone through at least 10 pairs of wingmirrors, lots of side windows, loads of dents, numerous wiper blades and worst of all 3 windscreens. Rather than claim off the insurance we repaired the damage ourselves via the scrapyards. The police did arrest one lad for 1 of the windscreens, but as soon as they let him out he came back and did another that very night.

    Sadly, the nation has bred a generation of untouchables and they know this. I got called a Paedophile by a gang of 12 yr olds because I have CCTV on my house covering the car park :rolleyes:

    I have 3 boys myself, if I thought they ever damaged anything belonging to anybody other than themselves they’d have me to answer to and I’d be devastated. Respect and manners cost nothing, it’s a shame more don’t use them.

    “the unsuspecting who are living in poverty and can`t afford the ever increasing insurance premiums.”

    No sympathy with this statement! ANPR cameras are a fantastic way to keep criminals off our roads.
    If you can’t afford insurance, please don’t drive.

    I wholeheartedly agree with you. We can’t afford the ever rising premiums either, but as we need to have 2 cars, we have to find a way. There is no excuse for not having insurance.

    Our premiums will be going up again next time, why? On Saturday A 10yr old idiot and his mates decided to smash a window in our car and let off the handbrake. We returned home to find an empty space where our car should’ve been and just a layer of glass in its place. Reported it missing, to be told it had been recovered less than 50 yds away. So far £150 recovery fee,£75 excess on insurance for glass and 2 days loss of earnings :mad:

    If that is not bad enough the same gang returned to the area on Sunday and smashed the window in a car belonging to a visiting nun. Of course, there were no police officers available.

    The reason for all the arson, vandalism etc is simple, it’s because they can. They know that IF they get caught all they’ll get is a free ride in a police car and a talking to. It’s about time the courts got tougher on them, perhaps the fear of a real punishment would be enough of a deterrent.

    According to Samknows I am 1957m away from Wrexham exchange with ADSL available at ~1.5Mbps. I’m also on LLU so have limited choice when it comes to ISP’s, currently with Orange.
