knock and run

[Sir Fynwy]

If you can find out who is doing it I'd recommend going round to their parents house and telling their dad if it doesn't stop you are going to stomp him, this worked with the kids doing ths sort of stuff to my mum, their dad obviously decided that controlling them was better than hospital food.

Unfortunately the best bet way be to ride it out, if you start speaking with them your face and property will remain familiar.

Remember these clowns are probably scummers and as such wont really care if they are in the wrong, anything you do is likely to just make them do it more.

i knew who they were and one of them lived next door but the police and council didnt do anything.

basically there is a field at the bakc of my house, small mor like a patch of grass with 2 diagonal paths through it, anyway theres 2 signs there saying NO BALL GAMES but the idiots cant read, so day after day the ball would come over at some pace it was setting off alarms, smashing pots, even came through the kitchen once and knocked off my p*ssing dinner. so anyway month after month and they just got worse, they ended up climbing over and ruining the fence and throwing stones at windows etc. police did nothing. they didnt even bring anybody down to see them in the act, they came once at 11am when they are obvously at school. they got worse, they were smashing up drain pipes, if there were boxes or something out there they would be smashing it they were unbelievable. so we decided to take pictures to prove they ar eout there and what they are doing, we were obvously told this was not allowed.

so anyway next day a story in the leicester mercury about how people have complained about 2 mothers playing football with their 2, 5 year old children and how they cant be doing anything wrong and that they were innocent. fook off! we were livid cus the mercury didnt even ask anybody elses point of view, these wer eno 5 year old kids, these were 12 year olds+ with sometimes around 10 of them and these two mothers are so bad that these 5 year old kids are allowed to wonder the streets alone. we wonder why quite often but as always they think the sun shines out of their kids arses especially when they broke a window playing football (an old ladys house) and then decided to take the things off here window from the inside, the police arrived took names and nothing (isnt that breaking and entering and theft).

phew rant over, its not as bad now as most of them have got slightly older and yes more immature but a lot more lazy, but its summer coming up so crossed fingers they dont emerge again.

sounds like you did well to keep calm , trouble with my scumbags is i hardly ever see them , i live on a terrace street off aylestone road and i heard one of them say braunstone ao i think they just do it randomly when there on there way home to there chav estate.

The problem is trespass is a civil "offence"; it is not criminal. The police can't do anything about it. If the kids cause any damage, then the police could get involved, but this would be for criminal damage. I'm not too sure what the mens rea is for this, but I would assume that like the criminal offences we covered, there has to be an element of intent, which will be difficult to prove.

On top of that, the value of the damaged property is likely to factor, as is the fact you (hopefully) have insurance. So in reality, it's not going to be worth the police coming out to investigate.

This is crap; kids have no respect for other people, their property, and for authority. Considering the "authority" doesn't want to get involved, is it any wonder?

Oh, and be careful in taking the law into your own hands. This guy got a suspended sentence, in the end.

I had this problem at my old yard. The was a wall outside my side/front door that youths used to sit on for frickin hours drinkin and tokin and bein rowdy. After a few months of puttin up with it I chased em down the street with me 5 iron I must of looked a right twat

I did worry after that things might get worse, but it just fizzled out

I wonder when I will grow out of 'Knock and Run' phase? I find it amusing sometimes especially if you do it to some absolute dick who actually deserves it. Hope I dont grow out of it to soon though, 19 next year I will get scared. After you have had a night out on the town some of the funniest stuff ever is walking home and doing shit.

I have full sympathy in your case though lad.

Agreed. The golden rule of "knock a door run".

Never ever knock on an old person's door. The ultimate twat manouvere.

I wish I could walk home from town so I could get upto such antics.

Aww mate as soon as we get out of that Taxi some crazy shit goes on. One lad who we came back with had a Pizza and he put a slice through someones letter box. Imagine waking upto that in the morning? Someones Ham and Pineapple on the floor.

Might have to start getting out the cab early to indulge in some of this shit.

Right up my alley.

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

Nothing quite like being shouted at by someone angry owning a caravan.

When I was a kid I used to knock door the local mentalists house. Laurel and Hardy we called em cos she was massive and fat and he was trim. They used to kick shit out of eachother every week just walkin home from the shop or something. They lived in an upstairs flat so I used to go up the stairs and whistle the Laurel and Hardy tune or shout 'What are we gonna do now Ollie' throught he letterbox. I had a few beatings off Laurel cos he used to chase me all the time (I was only about 10). It used to be hilarious on me shitty bike pedallin like crazy with him chasin after me! Unless he caught up.

Great days Eddie, great days

Reminds me of me when we use to do similar things after a piss up, until one night my mate ripped a letterbox off by accident when trying to make a loud knock with it. To be fair it is such a ****ish thing to do but good fun.

[GLC]

We had some chavs living at the top of the street, the started hitting golf balls at our house so my dad went out with a table leg, they didnt do it after that,

then a few weeks later some lads were picking on my little brother so i went out and told them to **** off, we got eggs and stuff thrown at the house, we got hold of one of them and went straight to to his parents, they didnt do it after

[cisono]

about 3 months ago some kids started knocking on my door and running off , then they started to kick the door aswell , one night i shouted at them as they ran off , since then it has been happening every few days. recently i had a word with one girl who was on her own who knocked on my door and ran off i saw her on her way back round and just said i knew who she was and would get the police involved if she carried on. the last time was on thursday night when two 16-18 year old lads were smoking a joint on my door step , then knocked on my door they were just round the corner so i just asked them to give it a rest and they said it was there mate. i wanted to to beat the living shit out of them. i have also had stink bombs through my letter box and stuff stuck on my windows . im now at the point where i may get my baseball bat out. has anyone else had simillar troubles.

Where do you live?

[fox123]

We used to play knock and run on back doors ... then we would hide in the neighbours garden, then do it on their back door all the way down the street

[JakeShingler]

Pft old.

All bot Knock a door don't run.

[grth2004]

Where do you live?

off aylestone road

[Thracian]

some of my neighbours have said to give them a knock and well go and sort them out, i like that idea but my mrs is worried that theyll shove some petrol through the door or something , but a good kicking would make me feel better

I wouldn't advise it. Do anything to protect yourself and your property and the police will be a lot more hands on than ever they will responding to any crime against you. For some people there's almost a carte blanche to commit crime nowadays.

Sure. I think I did that once or twice too (no malice, just youth!).

However, throwing stuff through letterboxes or, as they did to us, steal the letterbox lid (probably to resell) in full daylight around noon on a Saturday is quite scary.

Also hated finding my car's aerial bent out of recognition on a Monday morning

My pet hate, however, is finding new rubbish in my front and back garden every single day

What was that called? It had a name in the 80's where you ran over everyones back gardens?

Did anyone ever wrap some dog-shit up in newspaper, put it on someones doorstep, set it on fire and knock on the door? Then watch them stamp on it when they opened door. Funny when you're a kid.

Or tie someones old metal dust-bin handle to their letterbox knock on the door and watch the rubbish go everywhere when they opened up?
