Surrey Police Want to residents to be Vigilante !! 0

Surrey Police Logo







Surrey Police Safer Neighbourhoods sent an email earlier this week to local residents in Elmbridge Surrey with a typo. They end the Email ” Be vigilante and if you see anything suspicious contact Surrey Police ” We think they mean Vigilant!!!

I have withheld the sender’s name of this email to avoid embarresment but it made me and few others chuckle!

“
There has been a recent increase in day time burglaries in Elmbridge where garden sheds, garages and dwellings have been targeted. The intruders gain entry to dwellings through insecure, small windows, and used implements to get hold of car keys through letterboxes. Various items have been taken such as cars, jewellery, cash, tools and garden equipments.

A burglary at home is a distressing and devastating experience but there are simple crime prevention measures that can reduce home crime:

- make sure your doors and windows are secured

- burglar alarms and lights will deter thieves

- do not leave car, door or window keys on view, or within reach of a letterbox or window

- register valuable property at http://www.immobilise.com/

- property mark all valuable items with your post code and house number

- do not keep large amount of cash at home

- make sure your home looks occupied while you are away

Burglars aren’t only interested in the valuables inside your property. Equipment kept in garage, shed or garden can be tempting or used to break into a house.

- use good quality fixings and padlock to secure shed and garage

- install a shed alarm

- property mark valuable tools and equipment with your post code and/or house number

- lock tools and equipments away

- position your wheelie bin away from accessible windows

Be vigilante and if you see anything suspicious contact Surrey Police

I have emphasied the last line

BBC Reporting iPhone 4 signal fault 0

iPhone 4 signal fault leaves Apple ‘stunned’

Apple says a fault on its new iPhone 4 is causing it to incorrectly display the phone’s signal.

Users who gripped the phone – which went on sale on 24 June – on the lower left-hand side noticed the signal strength and reception fell away.

Apple says the problem relates to an error on how the signal bars are displayed, rather than the signal.

However, some industry experts say that there may be a deeper signal problem than a cosmetic design flaw.

Rebecca Conoop Price covers the story

M25 Proposed Motorway Services Cobham, Surrey, (c) Ian Leslie / Highlevel Photography

“NEW aerial photographs of the site in Downside which has been earmarked for a giant M25 motorway service station show just how much green belt will be destroyed.

The pictures, taken by Ian Leslie, of High Level photography, show the 60 acres of lush green fields where the station will be built.

The services are destined to be one of the biggest in the country, featuring a hotel, retail area, 721 parking spaces and petrol pumps.

The bright green mark on the photograph to the north of the motorway shows where a circular slip road will be built, while the bright green area to the south shows where the services will be located. ” Read more on this story at Get Surrey
