    bloody hell..... :shock: in your OWN HOUSE!

    As per a previous thread we should get together a vilgilante posse, the TZ firm, wear berets like the gaudian angels and beat the sh@t out of these scumbags with lumps of wood

    Ok maybe I have gone over the top..............lets loose the berets!

    But seriously what is the world coming to! The guy had a baby in his arms and all for a watch!

    I think this should serve as a warning to all of us, we need to protect our homes our valuables our watches, but most importantly make sure we are hooked up with a bird who wont do a runner and take one for the team.

    peace out

    Speechless :shock: :shock: :shock: , apalling picture of his injuries for the cost of a tic toc, the depth these inbred hicks will stoop to is unbelievable. Infront of his flipping baby child, that will probably scar him more than his cuts :(

    I'm beggining to think that it is time WE ALL stand up as one against these scum bags and take back our society from these degenerates.

    It's not uncommon in the case of 'business man' victims that there are background issues - unpaid debt, drugs, extortion etc.

    Hope I am wrong but one happened a while ago near where I live that was a shooting of a 'car dealer' who was actually using it as a front for drug dealing without no knowledge of his wife, children and family :( .

    Try that, and you will be in jail. Try Australia, though - they've got a bit of backbone over there :(

    This is just awful.
    For this to happen in the guys own home is unbelievable.

    When is this country going to get tough with the mindless pieces of shit that do this kind of thing.
    They know that if they are caught not a great deal will happen and the sentence will be minimal.

    Let the victims decide their fate is what i say. :evil:

    Re: Watch mugging - bad.

    Its like all these young "innocent" Black guys been killed in London. The parents and families etc say "they where good boy" etc .But after a few weeks the real truth start to come out and the kids where involved in drug dealing etc.

    For a start if someone knocked on my door shouting "pizza" i would not even answer. Why should i ? Once home my door never gets answered . Anyone that i expect calls me when they are outside etc. The other thing we do is keep all the doors deadlocked from inside with the key in the lock. 2 locks are better than one if someone tries to force the door.

    Lets wait and see, but my guess is the guy is not telling the real story

    Re: Watch mugging - bad.

    this type of thing is realy awfull but its a sign of the times ime afraid. the police soon will be powerless to do any thing for fear of being suspended by treating the criminals wrongly or god forbid injuring one of them.

    police probably have a good idea whos done it but its always the same trying to prove it.

    Re: Watch mugging - bad.

    This is all pretty shitty, even though there maybe something else behind it.

    Thorpe Astley has another name too, given by residents around the outskirts :twisted:

    This is what makes me suspicious - why open the door for 'pizza' when you didn't order any :?

    Quite possibly to see why they called and to the point, to talk to them, I know I would, but I expect it's easier to think very suspiciously in hindsight,though it's a matter also of how safe you perceive your situation and neighbourhood to be. One could say it's an indication he'd not a thing to hide. In any case, it really depends on x y and z, of which we do not know all, as yet anyway.

    Very sad and appalling.

    Robbers hit an accountant in the city where I live today and also took his Rolex Submariner...Very unfortunate incidents for both...

    Let's not forget there was a child in the house here; when I lived in Ibiza in the mid 90's one summer in particular there was a gang mugging tourists with Rolexes on the streets , I think they where an Italian gang, but in your own home ????? Nasty...
