COMMENTS: This
is what I mean by eyes and ears ! Jeff,
Just
to let you know, I was walking with my daughter today and we walked down
the public footpath (it's a very steep hill!) at
Quarry Wood (the footpath finishes just before the small bridge just
before Longridge). We both remarked on a silver metal wheelbarrow (it
looked to be in good condition) that appeared to have been abandoned at
the bottom of the path. Not
sure if this might be the one that was stolen from the Cookham allotments?
Kind
regards Aine We
cannot be everywhere. The
police concentrate their resources where they are most needed - where
crimes occur. The rest of us
are all over the place, driving to and from work, social engagements,
driving kids to school / after school clubs and activities– at all sorts
of hours. We see things, we
notice things – like the wheel barrow.
We do though, need to do something with that information – and do
it at the time. If you see
anything you feel would be of interest to the police – and you never
know what that might be, because you may only be seeing a small part of
something that is occurring – the old jigsaw principle – but if your
attention was drawn to something, rely on your instincts, we have them for
a reason and if it was nothing, your attention would not have been drawn.
If it is something happening now, use the 101 number – explain
that you are simply passing us ‘intelligence’.
If it does not appear to need immediate action, you can email the
information to me on the email address below and I will pass it through to
whoever needs to know. The
information could relate to people walking up and down driveways acting
suspiciously / people walking along parked cars looking in them or trying
car door handles (both should be 101 calls) to finding abandoned property
/ strange car parked in your road either unoccupied or with 2 or 3 strange
/ not the usual people who would be in your road, inside.
Please let us be the judge of whether or not the information is
useful, we may well have other parts of the jigsaw !!!! NEXT: I
have been sent this: Hi
Jeff Glad
the volcanos were good! I spotted this on the Windsor Parents
Facebook page, today: Buyer
beware!! I
almost had my IPhone stolen right under my nose, while eating lunch in a
Windsor restaurant today. I
dare say the lady who tried to steal it, does the rounds.
She was trying to "sell" my 3 year old daughter a
birthday card, but while I was saying "no thank you, please go
away", she was slipping my phone, under the card. I
thought I should share this experience, because I would hate it to happen
to anyone else. I
‘commented’ that the lady should report it on 101 (exactly
the right thing to do – we always have someone from Tamara’s team in
the Town Centre who would have located the woman and had perhaps more than
a word !), but thought you might want to be aware as well. Regards, Milica Many
thanks Milica, I have been banging on about this for several years now,
but I am preaching to the converted.
We all know about this problem, but we have to get to those that
don’t. If you see someone
with a phone on a coffee table, you cannot really approach them direct,
but you can go up to a staff member and ask them to.
We are putting together an initiative with Anne Chalmers our Crime
Reduction Advisor. We have
tried working with the restaurants / coffee shops, asking them to get
their staff to keep and eye out and warn customers, but with staff changes
that is difficult. Anne is
designing a postcard, which would be attractive to tourists and visitors
alike that they would like to pick up – perhaps an antique looking card
of an old British Bobby, issuing a warning.
We have to do something – any budding graphic artists out there
??? EVEN
MORE ! A
Police Sergeant received this in his inbox and as this is the time for tax
returns etc, felt a warning might be appropriate.
It has all the hallmarks of a scam – no named addressee, an
attachment and threat if you don’t open / deal with it etc !
I have corrected the spelling, but ‘Notification’ was spelt
incorrectly ! Tax
Refund Notification
Please
submit the tax refund request and allow us 2-3 days in order to process
it. AND
THIS: Happy
New Year Jeff, I
wanted to alert everyone to an incident on the M4 spur, just after the
Braywick roundabout. I was flagged down by a broken down car and a
man asked for money for petrol. I reported it to the police, who said that
this was a common scam and they always ‘ hang’ just off a motorway so
can get away quickly. Everyone
wants to be a good citizen, but we all need to be aware of this scam. Sue Many
thanks Sue, if we stop to help someone, this will now be in the back of
our minds. NEXT:
– One of our members has had a problem with a ‘free’ introductory
slimming product offer and wants to warn others !!! Hi
Jeff, I
have recently fallen for a scam concerning a well known slimming
appliance, plus free trial. If
you Google the company and product, you will see a whole library of
complainants and correspondence. Over
the weekend I had to cancel my card, to prevent any further withdrawals.
You can see from the correspondence online that the company has
moved to the Republic of Ireland, seemingly, outside the British legal
system. Sometimes
they are not exactly, what they appear to be ! Excellent
advice there from John and with something like Google – so easy to do
and it only takes a few moments ! NEXT
– an addition to my advice re Christmas presents – What to do with the
boxes ! Hi
Jeff Thanks
Dave, this is a really serious point.
Our ‘Opportunist thieves’ are always on the lookout for
possible targets. Showing
them all the new gadgets in your home is not a good idea.
Playstation and X Box, boxes, are just what they are looking for
– especially the latest versions. So,
please collapse the boxes before putting them out or at least, open them
up and turn them inside out ??? |
