What are the burglars doing ? Has crime dropped ?

Has crime dropped substantially in your area ?
Pre lock down my London Nextdoor digest was awash with crime; car and house break in's, handbag snatching etc.
What's the guy who was clearly a dealer loitering near the tube doing now ?

I was wondering about bailiffs too!

Even with bailiffs being unnecessary I imagine they haven’t scaled back their efforts at all

Yes, I'd imagine bailiffs are doing very well from everyone being at home right now.

We’ve had a spate of car, garage and shed break ins. Bikes, bags, garden equipment and even a motorbike taken. Lots of neighbours in the NHW group on FB have cctv and there is almost a montage of the scummers wandering our area, trying almost every car door, front door, garage and back gates where visible. They spent about 4 hours collecting things and obviously taking them to a van waiting on the periphery and then drove off on the motorbike, swiping a parcel off a doorstep on the way. Never happened to that extent before.

Not at all @Notredamn! I genuinely think MN is the only kind of place where you'd get an answer from people who actually know!

@cocoaweebles - very funny!

Well the drug dealers around here have not socially isolated and applied to the government for under the Self Employment Income Support Scheme.
They are at their usual posts outside the corner shop.
The atmosphere is more tense than usual because only the criminals are in the streets.

elaine the police do have a sense of humour round here

Anyone seen a" I am a drug dealer AMA" thread ?
I'd like to find our if CV is affecting trade, supply and logistics.

Motor vehicle accidents are down significantly where I live.

They're working from home, it's tough because they aren't being paid right now.

Drug dealers are being secretly retrained for produce a vaccine or to supply enough dope that we won't care if there isn't one

A friend informs me that their dealer is doing home delivery with an extra danger charge of a fiver
