Gladys Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 12 minutes ago, The Dog's Dangly Bits said: Stealing isn't happening at 1886 or Pride because of lockdown. It's a small number of criminals. There's no acceptable reason for it. It's happening because some people believe they are entitled to half inch other people's property. Its not new, not caused by lockdown, not reflective of the event or establishment and is only a small element. But when you get large numbers of people who are not necessarily focusing on keeping their possessions safe, it provides the ideal opportunity for opportunistic twats. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The number of bags stolen might suggest that there was more than one thief. Manx Radio seem to have missed this entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were I a betting man I'd suspect that the lockdown squeezing people financially is probably the culprit. Well, no, the piss-poor Government support for those squeezed is, but you get my drift.

Are the Police going to put out an appeal for information many weeks later? Edited June 15, 2021 by 2112 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead cheap and easy to put a tracker in a bag or purse these days. Would recommend everyone do it. In fact the police and government should be advising it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
