I returned home today to find a neighbours car on my drive and on enquiring why it was parked there he told me that he had disturbed 2 men who had cut the locks off my gates and where half way through cutting my wheel clamp off my van, these men apparently had been seen by many other neighbours travelling around the estate asking if people wanted theire drives tarmacing fortunately for me one of my neighbours is very keen to keep an eye on things and he had seen these 2 return to my house about an hour later on foot.
It appears that they had parked theire van on another nearby road with a a 3rd person in the driving seat and these 2 had come up to my house with the obvious intention of stealing the van, my neighbour said he had called the police but they where taking forever to arrive so he made it obvious to the 2 scumbags that they had been seen and apparently they just calmly collected theire tools and walked right past him without even trying to hide theire identity they then returned to the van which was a white ford transit with a blue flat bed on the back and drove off.
I have since spoken to others in the village who have told me that 2 days ago a large group of travellers arrived in the area and have been causing havoc in the local bars resulting in some closing theire doors and one mother said she had heard that a group of 8 to 12 year olds from this traveller group had apparently been in to the local school during lunch break and beaten some of the young children.
I have no proof that these travellers are the scum who attempted to take my van but i am drawing my own conclusions with the evidence my gate locks cut cleanly off with bolt cutters, my wheel clamp and alloy wheel damaged with oxy acytelene cutting torches and the chosen method of transport a transit flat back with ready fitted towbar, the only thing missing is the alsation.
The police are looking in to this attempted theft as they have very good descriptions of the 2 scumbags and the vehicle allthough the reg plate has been confirmed as false, in the mean time i advice any one in the manchester area and in particular east cheshire to keep there van as safe as they can and if its at home get the neighbours to be a bit more vigilant, i have been lucky that our local nosy neighbour has shown good.
I know all travellers are not the same and we have some good travelling friends on this forum who i am sure will be horified by my ordeal but i am never going to trust them in fact if the truth be known i dont think they can be called travellers i think they are thieving lying cheating scumbags who try to live off the good name of romany's and genuine modern day travellers but screw up at every hurdle.
