【正文】 s here to tell us about it. How long ago did this happen, Anna?Anna Just over a week ago. The day it happened,I was ing home from work a bit later than usual 1 think it was about seven. I was on my mobile phone, talking to my husband.Presenter And it was still daylight?Anna Yes. Anyway, suddenly, someone pulle。s a very frightening experience. So it39。s the best, I think.Passage 2Presenter You39。ve got another true story ... This this old guy was in court for some crime and he fell asleep. His case began and his lawyer stood up and said, My client pleads not guilty. The man suddenly woke up, but wasn39。d taken it. I did not take 6,000, I promise you.Steve He was probably telling the truth.Patrick He probably was. Anyway, the newspaper managed to keep the guy talking while they rang the police. And the police traced the call the guy was ringing from a phone booth and they arrested him while he was still talking to the newspaper.Steve That39。d stolen 6,000 dollars. The thief rang the newspaper office to plain. He said, Look, I only took 4,000 dollars. I39。s see ... yeah ... this guy... this guy robbed a supermarket somewhere in America 1 can39。re going to bite someone.Patrick That39。t hurt the policeman at all, 39。s nice to have a granddaughter or somebody to record a message, but every time the person approaches the door it reminds them with a voice to say Put your chain on.Unit 3Listening inPassage 1Patrick I read a funny story today in the paper true story.Steve Go on, then.Patrick OK. This 72yearold guy stole a pair of trousers from a department store in Paris. A security man saw him and alerted the police and they were waiting for him when he came out of the shop. The shoplifter started running, but the policeman soon caught up with him. The man then bit the policeman on his arm several times.Steve He bit the policeman?Patrick Yes you have to remember, he was 72.Steve I39。s very difficult for some of these people to remember what they have to do when they go to the door and that39。s a spyscope which actually makes it a lot easier for them to see who39。t happen is that if it is a bogus caller, they will bee unnerved by this reaction and they will leave.Presenter OK and there39。ve got difficulty in handling a chain with arthritic fingers. But also when you answer the door, check the identity of the person there. Generally the offenders say they are from the Water Board or from utilities. They may say they39。s on the other side. Always apply a chain. If you haven39。s very difficult for them to remember what to do. But the three things we, we always say is: stop, chain and check. And that39。s figures.Presenter OK, you mentioned some of the victims being elderly. What other people are targeted?Ian Holt Well, unfortunately, with this type of offence, it is the vulnerable in society and the elderly. The, the national average, if there39。s an elderly person that lives there.Presenter Is this quite a mon problem now?Ian Holt It is being more mon. To get it in perspective, of the 14,000 burglaries that were in Thames Valley last year, we had reported 800 crimes of distraction burglary. But, it... there39。s house and then they steal items, usually cash or small items of jewellery.Presenter And what are the different techniques that are monly used?Ian Holt Well basically they er ... the people that mit this crime move from area to area, er ... they will look at an area, they will try and pick a particular target and they can find that by looking at property, it may be er, an uncut garden, it may be repairs that need doing to the property. Something that indicates that there39。t the only problems associated with doorstep sellers. Your doorstep presents these unannounced visitors with a real opportunity to undertake distraction burglary where they often pose as bogus officials to gain access to your home.
