According to the news this morning there are apparently some people from Hartlepool who have allegedly been targetting North Yorkshire properties with intent to burgle.
Should I identify as a Poolie by putting an item such as a Pools scarf or flag on display, just in case they decide to widen their horizons by venturing further south.

Wouldn't work. Chances are that despite Hartlepool being their home, they are most likely barcodes or Mackems.

One got four and a half years and the other got four years…..from reports in the paper it all sounded a bit farcical.
