Those signs have been at any remote carparks for 20 years
It’s always been that way. I remember going to funerals 30 years ago, and people often paying someone to stay at the home of the deceased for the afternoon while everyone attended the funeral because burglars would look up when funerals were happening in tne newspaper and target those homes.
I can’t tell if this is a complaint about people needing to be told that or because that is happening.
Signs like this generally go up after the first or second incident.
They’ve also been everywhere as long as I can remember.
For several years at least
I remember when my mam died, people where breaking into houses knowing the people would be at a funeral.
My cousins husband had to stay in our house just to make sure.
The dead have been known to be light fingered
There’s people having their cars robbed in the commeragh mountains ffs. If they’ll rob a car there they’ll rob one in a graveyard.
Me be from Nigeria and it like their here too
That’s been Ireland for donkeys mate. Happened to my auntie and the funeral was in view. It’s obvious why no one noticed.
I’m 38 and have been told this since I was a child. It’s nothing new.
Common enough to have people ‘on watch’ in rural towns during mass for the exact same reason.
Rule of life. Unless they know you well, other people generally don’t care about your personal grief.
A carpark is a carpark. Treat it the same way you would any other.
Pesky zombies..
This is nothing for a thief. I’ve seen the cobbles stolen right out of people’s graves. Had a water barrel I was using for mixing concrete stolen when I went down the yard to check on work. Mixer was nearly carried another time.
Had some lads lead by an auld biddy(who were just coming out of a funeral) hop into the back of my van for a nose about, but I caught them before anything was taken.
Saw a tomb broken into once next to a grave I was working on, bunch of jewelry stolen off the dead.
I’d absolutely be wary of any car park, graveyard or not.
It’s well known that criminals look up RIP.ie so that they can see when funerals are happening. Some families post the family address on the page if there is a wake happening in the family home. Burglaries then take place when the family is at church for the funeral. Horrific.
Well, the sign is old looking, so then it’s already where it is at..
But also, it doesn’t matter if a graveyard or not. Don’t leave valuables in your car
Those signs have existed a longer than doom-sayers on this sub.
All signs have a lawsuit behind them.
Once someone probably sued a council when their car got broken into “no one told me it wasn’t a good idea to lock my car”
Or “no one told me about the step” or “you didn’t specify that hamsters can’t be warmed in a microwave”
So I want €€€€€€€€€€
And now it’s cheaper to put up signs.
Edit: grammar
Nothing new. Graveyard car parks are notorious for theft and have been for decades. They are generally remote, quiet and people have other things on their mind when leaving the car. Easy pickings for thieves.
Common, people rob things off graves as well…
These signs have been around since as long as I have ever known
I wouldn’t say ‘nowadays’ given the sign looks extremely old.
Remember folks crime and violence isn’t new, just our access and ability to share information and video is much more abundant.
What’s this “nowadays” business?
Good work though on wexford for recently installing a sign and giving it that weather beaten 1980s look.
Most spot on username I think I have ever seen on this sub.
I think most car parks kinda have to have a sign like this somewhere to kinda cover themselves incase of a break in happening. Dosent necessarily mean it happens often in that particular place.
Sometimes you have to ask yourself if words are enough
