Angry Some f*****g s**thead has broken into my postbox...

...and f***ing stolen my mail...

WTF ???? Obviously it's for ID fraud or something like that, or maybe they saw something in there which they wanted (like a DVD that was sent from Amazon), but seriously...???

Have contacted my bank, credit card companies etc etc... The problem is I don't know what's missing! I have also contacted CIFAS, which is the anti-fraud agency, to register that my ID might have been stolen and so they can notify all the credit reference agencies.

What else do I need to do? Police are going to come over and have a look for fingerprints, as the entire mailbox door has been ripped off and so some evidence should have been left behind...

And to make things even stranger, my apartment complex has 16 CCTV cameras covering the public areas... but the only camera that isn't working is, surprise surprise, the camera which looks at the mailboxes in my building... Coincidence or what?!!!!

Sounds like an inside job Tony.

You could try these guys -

Ten years ago / In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire... The A-Team.

Mate, go speak to that knobber who runs security at your gaff. Remember last time buddy?


Hope you get to the bottom of it.

I have... police are on their way to speak to him, to see what's up with those cameras... Just too much of a coincidence to happen twice (and yes I'm remembering the last time )

Thanks Will.. glad to know you can still remember the entire tag line from the show! However, I am more than capable of ripping some tw*t's head off and shitting down their throats. It'd just be nice to find the tw*t to do that to...

Ah mate, i do feel for you. I mean especially where you are. Incidents like this should not happen. Security guards, the Gates etc..

Try not to stress out over it though mate. Just make sure you speak to ALL of the people you need to to cancel x,y and Z etc. Dont want to forget anything.

Joking aside, it's a truly despicable act. Were any of your neighbours' boxes attacked?

Not good Tony! Don't suppose you know whether any other residents have been targeted?

My cousin lives near you actually.

I would want to know exactly when that camera went off line. Sounds fishy.

Sorry to hear that, Tony.

Just the sheer hassle of cancelling and checking up on all your cards etc. is a right pain.

Sounds very dodgy that the camera was "out of action" from what seems like a second time ....

Barstewards! I think you've covered most things to cancel or notify, not got any paypal stuff in there, or possibly your amazon account details in the DVD box? Think of anything you could possibly buy yourself and the means you would go about buying it, then cancel it.

F***ing gits - makes me mad. Someone broke into our house late last Sunday (early Monday morning) while we were in bed. Luckily they ran off when they heard us getting up and didn't get away with anything. Police were excellent, came over in about 10 minutes with a dog unit and again the next day to take prints. Just a bit shocking, never think it's going to happen to you.

Really sorry about this big fella - Louisa said she noticed something on your FB page - hope you get to the bottom of it. You havent upset anyone of late have you?? Its just that you car was targeted not too long ago in the same place. Have to say your security does seem a bit of joke - your car was hit and no cameras or security heard/saw anything and now your mail - and only YOUR car and mail. When i was going to drop my car off that time at yours early in the morning the security didnt have a scooby what day of the week it was and they looked shifty has hell to me. Need to get on top of it matey, kick some arse - i imagine you pay a premium for security?? Its a comedy of errors. Mr Magoo would do a better job. If you need any help with anything you know where i am.

do you think they wanted your car? Mate i hope when you got up you took some solid object with you. Not worth risking you or Mandy's life mate. these crims sometimes are violent.

I'd like to think that they weren't after the car and were just opportunists. It seems like they'd tried a few houses in the road and trying someone's front door, with the security light on, at 1.30 in the morning doesn't seem too 'professional'. Needless to say, the baseball bat is no longer in the garden shed. It does shake you up a bit (and stops you being complacent).

Between Tony's and your recent experiences everyone should have been shaken and their complacency stopped as well.
