Tales from the Dub Gee prt 2. the return of the kleptomaniacs

Look, i realized i haven't posted squat in a while, but, I have a good reason. In has become a prominent fact that many bloggers write about stuff that involves popular culture as well as the mainstream media. I have tried to stay away from this movement for 1 main reason:

I don't have the time or the patience to watch and research into bands or tv shows because it really bores me. Then if i started to post and give my thoughts and views about stuff, ppl would and will always say i have gotten my facts wrong cos i don't really know much bout ne thing

Anyways, i thought i would return to this original post of Tales from the Dub Gee because ppl seemed to find it interesting, as well as another experience has affected the course of my life

YESTERDAY, was Sunday. Weather was up the ying-yang and massive amounts of people were flocking to the beach. Me and my significant other, decided to follow the crowd and head down to the beach. After that my significant other was going to go grocery shopping as her parent was in Sydney.

We arrived at the beach around 1230pm and the sun was high (but not at its peak due to daylight savings in Australia). We headed down to our normal side of the beach, which was surprisingly crowded as most of the people usually swim in between the flags at the other end of the beach. After tanning and sleeping for a while, we decided to head into the water to have a quick dip. After being in the water for about half an hour, I realized that a rip was forming and we would have to go bak on to the beach for a while until the current died down.

When we got back to our towels and bags on the beach we had notcied a few more people had come down: a couple of surfies, a 'lad' and a 'ladette', and finally and old, obese drunk guy who was just there sipping his goon and checking out the scene (which means perving on girls). This group of people didnt really intimidate us as **l**n*o** and pretty much everywhere these days are full of perverts, lads and surfies.

Now for you people who are from overseas or foriegn to the subculture of 'lads' here is a quick rundown of them and how to notice them
  • Wear striped polo tops or Nautica tops
  • Have caps, often white caps
  • Wear shorts, no matter what the season or what the temperature
  • Are often white and skinny
  • Are often from the western suburbs of Sydney and constantly spreading
  • Like to graffitti
  • Are aggressive and often look for fights
  • Hang out in gangs and support each other if a fight begins
(picture & description taken from this page)

Neways so this 'lad', and this 'ladette' are on the beach when my significant other starts to notice that they are looking at us at increasingly regular intervals. At the time she thinks nothing of it. Another suprisingly awkard factor is that this 'ladette' is sunbaking on the beach DEH DEH DERRR in her BRA! Talk about indecency. The time is 1:20 now and I notice that the tide has died down. We decide to go down into the water now. As we leave my significant other stops and says 'I hope my stuff doesn't get stolen' jokingly. I replied there enough people around here to do sumtin if anything happened and we continue on into the beach.. BAD MOVE jeez i shoulda remembered at that time, that in this day and age no1 gives a shit about each other.

WE come back from a nice swim and my significant other freezes. 'Where the FUCK is my bag' she says n starts going into hysterics due from shock. I go talk to the surfie couple next to us, didnt notice anything (funny tho, they weere practically right besides us). I speak to the drunk guy. Oh, i saw that boy take it about 5 minutes ago.

Words in my head, "WHY THE FUDGE DIDNT YOU DO NE THING YOU SMELLY OLD BASTARD"

What did they end up stealing off my significant other? Her clothes, her bag, her wallet, her grocery money, her phone, her sun screen, HOUSE KEYS, sunglasses, and earrings. Talk bout good haulage, but seriously, why the funk do it for?


So after scanning all the bus stops and reporting to the cop station, what do we get out of it? NOTHING. Basically, the fuzz laughed, didn't want to report ne thing, and informed us of this pointless anecdote which goes something like this

"One day,one of my friends, you wouldn't know them, got all their pot plants stolen. They went to Dapto markets the next day and saw this women selling them. My friend said, 'those are my pot plants'. The seller then replies, 'No they are not, they are mine!' and then the friend sticks his hand into the pot plant and pulls out his house key"

hows that for a kick in the nuts for ya Russell

Anyways alot of stress has been caused over this incident and I would just like to ask why do people do shit liek this for? I mean some people aswell as academics argue that the crime rate increases during the hot weather, others say that crime rate increases parrallel to the unemployment rate , but does it really make any sense to actually go and steal something from another person jsut because you need a lil money, or you are jelouse of something they have.

Only shit like this can be pulled off in **l**n*o**, and that is the TRUTH, RUTH!!

that sucks about the thieving lads. loved your definition of a lad though. i'd also like to add that they spend a lot of time around train stations, are normally 16, and wear canterbury pants (stolen of course)

Man I hate lads, especially the ones around my area who live in nice house and go to private schools like cranbrook and scots but then spend their time off hanging out in that "ghetto" which is Double Bay tagging shit.

Sucks about Cr.. i mean your significant other's stuff.

Emily unfortunately it is not just wollongong beaches for personal belongings to be stolen, it is in fact any suburb and when ever u leave ur stuff unattended.

Maybe these lads steal to make a statement to the rest of society saying "considering i have such a shit/ poor life why shouldn't i be able to steal from u who is significantly more rich then them.
