scam warning - properties being identified for burglary

Hi Just a quick note to warn people that some of these stickers have been found on properties around the Acton Central area http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2509221/Burglars-target-homes-marked-stickers-scouts-check-streets-easy-targets.htmlIf you find one on your house - peel it off.

Very interesting as I had pulled one of our door on stuart rd a couple of weeks ago

Strange that a crook would leave a sign other burglars might also see, that they'll be coming back to break into your home.Crooks would be so much easier to catch if they all left a little sticker prior to the robbery. Handy for DNA and finger prints as well.The police could be sitting outside in an unmarked car. I recall reading a thread about the 'chalk mark' story a few months ago.

Think it may have been mine.

Nah !!  It's probably that rowdy bunch from the Chiswick forum. Don't let 'em know where you live.

Ouch, I think they already know.  A lot of scamming on W4, by the trolls.
