Cruel Car Thieves Target Couple in Sheltered Accommodation In Dundee

Image
For most people, there can be nothing more terrifying than the thought of someone breaking into their house. If invading your personal space, or violating the sanctity of your home wasn’t bad enough, what if criminals stole your car in the process? Especially if you depend on your vehicle to get around, but, unfortunately, this is exactly what happened to a couple in Dundee, who had to go through this very nightmare. A couple in their late 50s, living in a retirement, sheltered housing complex, were the victims of crime when thieves broke into their property in the middle of the night, found the keys to their Hyundai Tuscon, and drove away with it. Garry Place, comprising of 60 one-bedroom bungalows, has been open since the early 80s, and it is home to Alister Gillon, and his partner Eunice McIntosh, both 58 years old. Miss McIntosh, was staying in a care home at the time of the incident, but Mr Gillon was at home and asleep when the burglars broke in. Miss McIntosh, who has be...

When It Comes To Security, The Presidents Car Is A Beast

Image
He is the most powerful, as well as possibly the most divisive man in the world, often facing criticism whenever he takes to twitter or speaks out about certain issues. Yes, a section of the US electorate indeed supports him, but there is little denying wherever American president Donald Trump goes, it is bound to attract attention, if not controversy. When he visited Britain recently, to attend a NATO summit in Watford, there was mass interest. He flew in aboard his Marine One helicopter and arrived at the country house hotel called The Grove in his incredible, custom-built limo, which is understandably known as The Beast. A lot has been said about this unbelievable seven-seater Cadillac One, with all the latest mod cons, designed to protect as much as chauffer The President (whatever you may think of him). The vehicle, resembling a tank, reportedly cost around £1.2 million to build and weighs nine tonnes. The bulletproof windows are comprised of polycarbonate and five layers ...

It’s All A Mistake? Could You Be Breaking The Law By Accident?

Image
Whether you are an experienced motorist or have just passed your test, the very suggestion of flaunting the driving laws may be abhorrent to you. You would never dream of exceeding the speed limit or talking on your mobile phone while driving. There would never be the possibility of getting behind the wheel while over the alcohol limit. You know if you engage in such activity you are breaking the law. However, many motorists may not be aware some acts they considered harmless may actually be illegal. Do you fall into this category? Is it possible you may have committed a driving offence without even knowing it? Is it the case what you thought was `no big deal` may have violated the traffic laws, and could see you end up in trouble? For instance, did you know it may be against the law to go to sleep in your car when intoxicated, even if the engine isn’t turned on? You may have come home after a night out and, having got out of the taxi, may struggle to find your house keys and de...

Image
There are still thieves out there looking to gain possession of your vehicle. Crime does not take a holiday and millions of cars across the UK are at risk of being stolen. Especially after the Home Office says the ratio has risen by around 50% since 2014, and it is still growing. However, you don’t have to take this laying down and become the latest victim!

Are You A Dry Drunk?

Image
There is a condition which almost sounds like a contradiction in terms. It may seem like the strangest complaint you’ve never heard of, but Dry Drunk Syndrome is surprisingly commonplace and impacts a great many people. It is an affliction where someone with problems with alcoholism may have stopped drinking for some time, only to act as if they still had an addiction. They appear to exhibit the same behaviour and characteristics they displayed while under the grip of dependency. Many believe the term “Dry Drunk” is a reference to  Alcoholics Anonymous ’ 12-step rehabilitation programme, or it relates to the physical signs you show, while in the throes of the condition. For instance, if you are afflicted with Dry Drunk Syndrome, it may appear as if you are under the influence, even if you have not touched a drop in weeks. You may wobble or stumble when you walk or slur your words when you speak. These are some of the physical indicators which could point to Dry Drunk Synd...
