The Police don't turn up after burglaries anymore but I can see them turning up after the claim form goes in.

How much is this bet?
I don't mind proving you wrong.
Perhaps you don't realise this but council houses are not all that expensive to rent, leaving plenty of spare cash to buy nice things.
as for why would someone want to live in that area. Why would anyone want to live in a upper class part of town were people are the sort who think they can look down on others.
As for the value of the goods stolen, yeah it probably is a scam.
Who still owns a video recorder????
and more to the point who would bother to steal one when they are worthless on quick re-sale.
but who cares, the real scammers are the insurance companies who will fight tooth and nail to avoid a pay out.
best of luck to them I say.

Nothing wrong with people who live in Council housing, I just think spending that kinda money on a few common Electrical goods is a tad extravagent unless you are some millionaire footballer or suchlike.
Videos are £40.00 and when yours breaks you just pick one up with the shopping at Asda, thats the way life is these days.

You are a pathetic little weasel and need to get a life instead of imposing your jealous rantings on other people.

Panza, your DVD might cost £40 from Asda but some people actually have taste and common sense and would rather spend more on a decent make that wont break down after a month. You are a pathetic little weasel and need to get a life instead of imposing your jealous rantings on other people.
yeah Jealous, OK you ain't got Plasma and all sky channels but I am sure you wear your labels on the outside with a thick cheap gold chain around your neck. Just jealous of course.

Can tell this comments page is certainly from Farnworth. lol
Believe me, ive lived in Farnworth all my life, in council houses. I know a lot of people from that area and theres only 1 of few ways theyve got the money to buy 3k worth of electrical equipment...
Drugs, Thieving or on drip from a company that charges 300000% interest because they never get their payments.
I'd go for the fraud option myself though.
If something did get stolen, it was probly a black and white portable tv, a 1960's 12" record player and a top loading video player.
Thats my "Opinion" and im entitled to it, so dont shoot me down :p
