Manchester
Through getting my ex up the duff i decided it would be the gentlemen thing to get a house and move to where she lived so she could be near her family.

Droylsden, Manchester

in the 2 years i lived there, i saw:

1. a car being 'joyrided' around the football field behind our house with 3 copper cars in tow, and a helicopter over head. It was then dumped into the canal that ran alongside the field.

2.Two guys trying to rob my rear fence, at about 2pm - i was watching them - its only when i shouted to f off that they realised and ran off..

3. Another car being 'joyrided' around the football field behind our house with 3 copper cars in tow, and a helicopter over head. It was then dumped into the canal next to the car that still hadn’t been cleared up.
So then we had two smashed up cars floating in the canal… If I remember correctly the wiper blades were still moving a week later.

4.I got up one night to watch a thunderstorm only to see two ~12yr olds stealing a motorbike from my neighbours shed.... i chased them down the alley near my house, only for them to jump on and speed away across said field and into the night.

5.Numerous times we found crowbar marks on our backdoors. Luckily we had several locks bolted on the other side.

6.Next door neighbours got burgled.... they were in their 80's - which really f'ked me off. They stole their hearing aids so they couldn’t be heard.... cnuts!!

Bear in mind I’m from Merseyside - and have never seen so much crime.

There are more stories - funny stories and ill post these later...

Sounds like Clayton.
It's pretty much on the border of Droylsden. Doesn't surprise me.
