[the item, in issue 41, raised the possibility that rubbish bags were being torn open to find documents which could be used to establish a false identity]. It\u2019s not identity theft, it\u2019s unwanted goods they\u2019re after. It\u2019s a couple who live in the Kings Road area. They look out for \u2018For Sale\u2019 boards outside properties, then they target these houses, usually on a Saturday night, hoping to find bags containing stuff which people have chucked out prior to moving house. One of the couple slits open black bags and they rummage through the contents hoping to find something that can be sold. The booty then appears next morning at the Ivy House Lane boot fair. I\u2019ve actually seen some of my own stuff appear there. Sometimes they take the bags into an alleyway, slit them open with a Stanley knife and sort them out there, before transferring the booty to their van. I\u2019ve often seen them around the Horntye Road area.\u00a0<em>Horntye Road Resident<\/em> &#8211; name withheld.
