Beware Of The Dirt

So once again the concerns for a feckless thieving scumbag, sorry, troubled young man, trump the right not to have your home invaded, your goods ransacked and stolen.

Burglar with a cleanliness obsession is spared jail... because he'd find it too dirty

The 20-year-old was allowed to walk free from court after he told a judge he would find jail ‘too traumatic’ because of his obsessive compulsive disorder.

Ah diddums, any thoughts about the ‘trauma’ of those whose homes you invaded……<tumbleweed>  No? thought not.

The thief, who has 14 previous convictions for 29 crimes, committed the burglary while on a suspended sentence for robbery and handling stolen goods.

Good grief

Judge Hawkesworth said: ‘It’s clear to me from the psychological report you have a raft of psychological problems that need addressing.’

Yes he’s a thief, he believes it’s OK to take other peoples stuff. We cure people of that by locking them up. But that’s OK Judge, he doesn’t live anywhere near you does he? or his Defence brief and if he perchance wandered into your leafy suburb I’m sure he’d get his collar felt pretty sharpish by your private security force i.e. The Police.

I’d also like to draw your attention to this bit.

‘She was woken up at 4.20am when she noticed her bedroom door was open. ‘She went on to the landing and noticed a knife from the kitchen and an ornamental saw* had been removed.’

So I am guessing she realised they had been removed because they were in view on the landing.

I am reliably informed by those who know these things, that as you don’t want to get caught carrying a knife with you in a random ‘Police stop’. One of the first things to do in a home invasion is to arm yourself from the kitchen in case the householder wakes up. But that’s just a petty matter and not worthy of consideration that they were prepared to do violence after breaking into the property.

So residents of Cambridge next time he’s looking for a house to rob, you could do worse than put one of these in the window.

It’ll probably be more effective than relying on our Criminal Justice System to keep you from harm.

Addendum:

Cassidy’s accomplice Benjamin Calderwood, 18, of Cambridge, was given a 15-month sentence in a young offenders’ institution. He admitted carrying out a further 23 burglaries between 2005 and 2011 and asked for them to be taken into consideration. Gregory Perrins, defending Calderwood, told the court he wanted to ‘wipe the slate clean’.

Nothing about coughing for a number of ‘unsolved’s’ to get a reduced sentence and get them off the books? Yay for ‘Exceptional Clearance’ trebles all round.

 

*What’s an ornamental saw? Ornamental sword yes, but saw?
