[Ditter]

They are still around and still at it. In March a house across the street from me was robbed. The police think it was Irish gypsies because of their MO. They took, furniture, rugs, pictures off the walls, clothing, even the mans toothpaste. It chilled my spine because, undoubtedly they peered into my windows while looking for a house to rob.

Either they saw my burglar alarm, high fence and gates, dogs, security dog signs, or they didn't like my stuff. They probably didn't like my stuff and that is a good thing. ha!

Where do you live that you'd be near Irish “Travellers”? They're hard enough to find in Ireland these days.Just curious!

"irish gypsies"

My English-born wife has given me a lot of info about the "Irish" gypsies. They are known by the name of "diddycoys" in Britain. On a recent trip to Britain my brother-in-law pointed out an encampment of them close to their home near Norwich. Apparently many town councils are unwilling to deal with them and let them set up their encampments wherever they find open land. Unfortunately the diddycoys never clean up after themselves and leave huge messes when they finally move on. And many times robbing the nearby vicinity blind.
