Car Exhaust Theft
03/10/11 17:01
We have information that thieves attempted to remove the exhaust from a car parked in Orston between the hours of 11pm-12,30am last Thursday.
The thieves,who were presumably after the catalytic converter, were disturbed and made off in a five door saloon leaving their cutting equipment behind.
If anyone was passing through Orston at that time and noticed anything unusual or suspicious please pass the information to Nottinghamshire police on 0300 300 9999.
To my knowledge there have been no other reported incidents of this kind in the area so hopefully this will be a one off. However residents parking their vehicles on the road or driveway overnight would be well advised to be extra vigilant at this time.

DISTRACTION BURGLARY ON 3 MARCH 2010 AT ORSTON, NOTTS & SIMILAR IN LINCS
On 3 March two white males visited an elderly female resident at her home in Orston stating words to the effect, "You need to get out of the house, there's going to be an explosion." They then entered the premises turned on all the downstairs taps, searched cupboards and took a metal box that contained money. They then left.
The victim who is 90 years of age and deaf was very upset by their actions and unfortunately unable to give any description of the offenders. A neighbour realised something was amiss reported the matter to the police.
The metal box has since been recovered minus the money.
A similar offence occurred that day in Lincolnshire, mention being made of an explosion to an elderly couple.
POLICE ADVICE;
1 Don't let anyone inot your home without checking their identity first.
2 Put the chain on before opening the door.
3 Don't accept a story at face value. Alway check, should they say they are from the Water Board, Gas or Electric ring the company to check. Ring the number in the phone book not the one they give you. If they are genuine they will not mind waiting whilst you do this.
4 Do not hesitate to report suspicious behavious to the police, dial 999 to do this.

Car Jacking Scam
02/11/09 21:52
WARNING FROM POLICE
THIS APPLIES TO BOTH WOMEN AND MEN
BEWARE OF PAPER ON THE BACK WINDOW OF YOUR VEHICLE--
NEW WAY TO DO CAR-JACKINGS (NOT A JOKE)'
Heads up everyone! Please, keep this circulating.. You walk across the car park, unlock your car and get inside. You start the engine put it into Reverse.
When you look into the rear-view mirror to back out of your space, you notice a piece of paper stuck to the middle of the rear window. So, you stop and jump out of your car to remove that paper (or whatever it is) that is obstructing your view. When you reach the back of your car, that is when the car-jackers appear out of nowhere, jump into your car and take off. They practically run you over as they speed off in your car.
And guess what, ladies? I bet your purse is still in the car.
So now the car-jacker has your car, your home address, your money, and your keys. Your home and your whole identity are now compromised!
BEWARE OF THIS NEW SCHEME THAT IS NOW BEING USED.
If you see a piece of paper stuck to your back window, lock your doors and just drive away. Remove the paper later. And be thankful that you read this e-mail. I hope you will forward this to friends and family, especially to women. A purse contains all kinds of personal information and identification documents, and you certainly do NOT want this to fall into the wrong hands.
Please tell all your friends
