Neighbourhood watch

Hello RayBenidorm

Considering you are a "Helpful member" I found this post unhelpful & unnecessarily critical of the poster..

Cheers Elinspain

It will be the gypsies getting a weigh in of scrap. Many people now have a grill placed over the A/C units. They will take anything that is not locked down. Don't forget Christmas is not far off so now is the time for these thieves to strike hard.   

Really concerning reading this.

I am thinking about a wifi enabled security camera system because of this, or even paying the guy next door a few quid to keep an eye open

Sorry if I cause homeowners concern, I'm really just putting it out there as its happening. I'm glad you are updating your security. 

It may be that having neighbours near is protection enough. 

We are in the campo we do have neighbours but they didn't seem to see anything. The thieves will need to have had a van and there would have been 2 or 3 of them to have been able to remove air-conditioning units from a good height

Sorry you didn't find this information helpful. My purpose for this information was to raise awareness and get people to watch out for their property and neighbouring ptoperties and to report anything suspicious 

RayBenidorm, I did not find your comments helpful at all, if you cant say anything positive, best to keep it to yourself.

 If you had been on the receiving end of the mindless thieves, you may have had a different approach to the subject. my purpose

under the heading of "Neighbourhood watch" was exactly that ...ask people to watch out for the thieves, protect their property and be watchful of their neighbours properties and report suspicious behaviours.

My house was completely emtied 2 years ago.

I can't prove anything but there was no sign of break in. The only person with a key was a local estate agent who incidentally does a lot of work with a English business man. Everyone and everything corrupt in Spain. Biggest mistake I ever made buying in Cocentaina.

Have you ever used a man by the name Jordan Desmond a builder from muro de alcoi if so he totally robbed my place years ago not just robbed but raped everything and anything he could take he blamed the gitano but the neighbours downstairs see him taking everything out of my house so there’s a name to conc

No I can't say I have ever heard of him. I thought I had good neighbours. They must of mine something wasn't right but I guess they all stick together. The thing with my burglary is no way you could if got all that stuff out of the front without opening the door which had a double lock on it. Door wasn't forced in, hence somebody had a key.
