mookaloid - 16/7/14 at 11:33 AM

Just found this on a 'For Sale' board on a house I am selling

Should I be concerned?

Cheers

I would assume its just a 'tagger'

Looks like a pokemon ball to me!!

That's the internationally recognised symbol for the 'Floating Egg Pokers". They're harmless, unless you're a floating egg.

Its a gang symbol for a rival estate agent,

If it offers any comfort, I work for a company that puts up boards for estate agents (about 80,000 a month) and I've never seen one with that symbol on it

Lots of other (usually phallic) symbols though.

You might find it's a Pikey symbol! They use them to indicate if a property is worth a break-in, too risky, or nothing worth stealing etc.

It's Romanian for 'Squat available'


Mr Whippy - 16/7/14 at 12:13 PM

probably just a gypsy curse

I'd go with possibly pikey symbol, Might be worth giving the police a bell and asking about that sort of thing. If nothing else it might shed some light on it.


maskell01 - 16/7/14 at 03:05 PM

I would say its a mark of some kind along the lines of
"when it be goes darkkkk, we bring back out caravan & dags, and we be stealing all ye coppa tube!"

Do a Google search for "Burglars Chalk" and it will show you what symbols mean


StevieB - 16/7/14 at 04:43 PM

I know there's thoughts of pikey symbols etc. but chances are it's just an oik with a marker pen - why would you tag a house for burglary when you could just send someone a rightmove link to the property and avoid leaving a tag to link yourself to a crime?

It is worth checking in with the local plod though, just to be sure.

It's the new Enviroment Agency initiative. After the floods this year they're marking all houses for sale with a "plimsoll line" showing where the water will come up to after the ice caps melt.

Like this one...

In 2009 in Tanbridge, Surrey, near East Grinstead, police warned about a similar set of codes – dubbing it the Da Pinchi Code.

joking aside it might be worth removing it with white sprit just incase


splitrivet - 17/7/14 at 06:00 PM

Ive only seen that once before I'd be worried Mark very worried.

Some jokers put it on to make you worry about it and its worked.
Cheers,

As its a house your selling, it probably means

"house for sale, so everything is packed, bring a large van and a few mates and in 30 mins you have cleared the place, as its all in boxes ready !"


steve m - 17/7/14 at 06:59 PM

Its your house , so take the sign down, I did when I sold my place, as they have to ask permission to put a sign up,

its not compulseray


dilley - 17/7/14 at 08:04 PM

If you've upset someone it's normally marked on the pavement, maybe they had a bad back and used the for sale sign?????? Lol.......


motorcycle_mayhem - 17/7/14 at 09:58 PM

This would concern me, paranoia or not.

I would take the board down.

I've never allowed an EA board up on any of my previous homes, OK, so I am paranoid.


owelly - 18/7/14 at 06:57 AM

Just copy the symbol on to every other For Sale board in the area.......


Agriv8 - 18/7/14 at 09:05 AM

to me that look like a symbol looks like a view finder / focus symbol on a SLR camera

is it a symbol to say there is CCTV in the area ?

to me it feels a little more than a kids prank !
