Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

I live in Peterborough too and am quite shocked at this. I have seen some shifty looking people hanging about sometimes, and lots of white vans with people just sitting inside.
I will keep my eyes open, thanks for the warning guys.

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

There is a gypsy site just down the road from us in a town called Wheatley.
My village is quite an expensive area (hate to sound snobby) and they usualy come round in their van. I have had 5 encounters with them
One time was two lads enquiring whether rowan atkinson (my neighbour at the time) was in. He wasn't at the moment in time, but we said he was, just to cover him.
They are also very very interested in my dogs, especially my setter and my patterdale. The other accounts where with the different people. Three men pulled up beside me when walking my terrier. I kept moving and they shouted 'Ey love' I turnt around (stupid i know) and they said 'Is that pretty lil dog of yours new?' I said no. They said 'Is she trained' I said she knows basic commands and is a keen hunter. I shouldn't of said this 'Would you be willing to mate her with my dog?' I said 'No' they said 'will you sell her to me for £100' £100!!! £100!!! You must be bleeding joking, no money in the world could buy her off me! And he is offering a measly £100 again i said 'No' and walked off. The next time it was two young lads 'asking me were i lived, if i had anymore like her. How much is she worth'. Just basically questions like that. They are sometimes intmidating, but the stretch they get me at are with houses on either side. And i know everyone so i can easily go into a drive way and knock on the door, if they started to harrass me.
With my setter it was two different men. They pulled up and said 'She's pretty' I said 'Yep' They said 'How much is she worth' I said why does it matter, they said cos we were looking into getting one. I asked them what breed she was they said springer, I said 'No chance mate, i know your game' and walked off.

If they came up to me and was forceful Bess would bite them anyway.

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

please also be careful selling your car - i sold one recently to a group of people with Irish accents, one gave me the money I counted it - all ok and off he went. The other guy filled in the log book and put his address as Wrexham caravan park. I then have had loads of hassle with DVLA and police.
They filled up with fuel at a local petrol station and did a drive off. Went thru several speed cameras over the speed limit - I got the tickets - and smashed into another persons car and drove off - I had the police round interviewing me - All this happened within 3 days of selling the car as the DVLA hadn't received the log book at the point so it all came back to me - it was really distressing - he doesn't even exist all his details were fake
