Cool Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

We get a lot of 'travellers' stop off in the Ashfield area too. When I was the dog warden, we dreaded them moving on as it normally meant dogs that were no good to them left behind, abandoned sick horses to call the RSPCA out to and mountains of rubbish, tarmac, old tyres etc (don't let them offer to take your rubbish away for a fee - they dump it!) for the council to get rid of as well as a field to sanitise. (they used them as toilets) I would advise people not to leave their dogs outside unaccompanied, even in their own gardens. It happens a lot I'm afraid and the police won't touch them because they play the racism card now.

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

Sorry that you feel worried, by this thread, but if it can save any dog by making people aware then it helps

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

I used to have a small manufacturing outfit.

Travellers (i'll use the PC term despite they never travel, they have set up a couple of fixed parks near us) used to come around the site regularly looking for scrap metal.

A guy in the next door unit had a car parked outside he wasn't using, (it was only a knackered old banger) regularly I would have people in asking whose it was and was it for sale.

One day I saw it being lifted onto a flatbed with a big claw like crane, I assumed they had got in touch and he had sold it.

Later he popped his head in and asked where his car was and did I know anything. They had nicked it in broad daylight and not thinking that anyone could be that brazen I basically stood and watched them take it.

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

This is the point I keep trying to get across, they don't give a damn about anything or anybody, because they know they can't be touch, (unless I see them that is) evil b........

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

I too live in South Nottinghamshire and have been aware of the gypsy (travelling community) movements. Before the end of the school term for Summer gypsies had parked on school fields off Wilford Lane in Nottingham. This disrupted PE classes, sport events etc.

Other gypsies located at the horse fields near Lady Bay on route to the water sports centre have moved on. They left a whole lot of mess.

They intentionally site up in this area of Nottinghamshire (Rushcliffe Borough) as its richer pickings and plentiful local resources to make the use of.

Its Kenneth Clarke's constituency, he should stand up for the borough and remove these travellers for good.

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

I will be in touch with Kenneth Clarke, but like the police, I won't hold my breathe, it seems moor and more are coming to Nottingham, and nothing seems to be done to stop them breaking and entering and causing havoc and misery for people

Re: Gypsies stealing dogs

I dont know much about gypsies but you may remember back in 2000 with the Tony Martin case. The gypsies in that case were from Newark in Nottinghamshire.

The farmers actions in the story made me chuckle:-
