thieves in our garden


Tonight "the pigeon man" came round our house to say that last night someone stole all his pigeons. Yes that's right stole all his pigeons & they went down my garden & over my fence to get into his garden! I'm so annoyed. Why oh why would anyone want to do that *apparently they will sell them for a few quid each . He's a lovely man & he looks after those birds really well, he flies them every day & I love to watch them - they are tumblers & I like to see them tumble in the sky.
Our security light had been smashed too so that it didn't light up the garden.
If the dog had been here she'd have alerted us - she's a good guard, but she's at work at the mo cos she's in season!

That's disgusting The poor man must be really upset by that And you must feel a bit 'violated' knowing someone had been prowling through your garden *shudders*

Re: thieves in our garden


That is just despicable!!! Imagine doing that to anyone, never mind an old man who probably gets most of his days enjoyment out of caring for his birds! I'd love to get my hands on those responsible!!

because they know they can get away with it, and if they get caught all they will get is probally a fine, or a slap on the wrist. the laws a joke.
