Worried about burglars

[TimeForCableTies]

Burglars must be having a terrible time now that everyone's always home. How about a gofundme? I'll cash out the total and leave it in my living room for them to come and take.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Get some idiot celeb to raise awareness of their situation.

How about Lily Allen?

And the same for muggers. Streets are empty. Different gofundme but I'll take the money out with me.

Gary Lineker could do the muggers. Different GoFundMe account but he could join with Lily to raise awareness.

I worry about the plight of drug dealers - they can't loiter in parks now and if they do deliveries they risk being stopped and asked where they're going, it's awful for them

Dk round here the drug dealers are all WFH. Making it so easy for the police, especially as there's CCTV

Drug addicts, most of their supply routes are closed off. I did worry they'd target pharmacies.

What about all the poor chuggers, with no-one to talk to...

I think most burglars and muggers are taking jobs as 'we're from HMRC - give us your bank details for a refund' callers / emailers

Oooh the chuggers, I'd forgotten about them.....poor little souls I wonder if they ar being annoyingly cheery , guilt tripping and overly personal in their own homes? Glad I don't live with one.

I read the other day that one police force has been rounding up wanted crims by the vanload because they're all at home!

Gino Dicampo could be the figurehead!!

from another thread: Amid the clamour of appeal for Government support, however, the plight of one group appears to have been cruelly overlooked.

Criminals.

The Prime Minister may only have announced the nationwide lockdown on Monday night, but already families from across the law-breaking community are feeling the pinch. Burglars, for example, have seen their takings collapse.
“It’s a nightmare,” says Barry Knuckles, president of the National Union of Housebreakers. “Now that the entire population is at home 24 hours a day, it’s impossible to burgle anyone. They’re never out.”
Speaking on the Today programme, Mr Knuckles urged the Government to provide financial support for his members during these tough times. He called on the Chancellor to cover 80 per cent of the value of all the laptops, jewellery and flatscreen TVs that Britain’s burglars would normally have stolen and sold on. So far, however, he has yet to receive a response.
“The political class are completely out of touch with the concerns of decent, hard-working criminals,” he says.
But burglars aren’t the only felons struggling to meet the challenges of the coronavirus age. coronavirus age.
“It’s all very well for people who can work from home, like phishing scammers and identity thieves,” says Dave Fingers, chairman of the Association of British Muggers and Bag-Snatchers. “But how are you supposed to pick someone’s pocket from two metres away? Some of our lads have tried using those little hooked rods you get in fairground hook-a-duck games, or those funny reacher-grabber tools that old folk use for picking up stuff they’ve dropped on the floor. But it’s hopeless. The Government’s got to think again.”

There is of course one massive advantage for criminals... if police are observing social distancing correctly then handcuffing those they arrest is going to be very tricky indeed... they'll need someone with very long arms

this gentleman perhaps?

@bitchonthepitch that's absolutely brilliant!!

Door to door people are WFH

Don't open any email with the subect 'knock knock' it will be someone trying to sell you something
