On a similar tack, is the looting we heard
about on the news a new phenomenon? I don't remember it in previous
disasters.

Someone nicked couple of sandbags and the Barsley Chrinicle went
into a frenzy about looting. Only confirmed report is of an
abandoned car having it's stereo pinched.

There certainly has been looting in this area!


Which area?

Within 3hrs of one elderly couple being evacuated from their
Bungalow they had been burgled & all their electrical equipment
stolen.


Is one burgulary a looting?

Adam


That was only one example from several of which I've been told about!

There are also several instances where items which have been removed
from inside peoples properties ready to be assessed by the various loss
adjusters & left in gardens, have then mysteriously disappeared during
the night.

The area I'm talking about? Well that's the now famous 'forgotten City'.
