Police are urging the public to be vigilant after there were over 50 thefts from motor vehicles across the Basildon borough in the first half of April. There were 53 reported offences, compared to 39 thefts from motor vehicles in the same period in 2010, meaning that reports have increased by 35.9 per cent. In one of the most recent incidents in Thorrington Cross, Basildon, between 11.30pm on Wednesday, March 13 and 6.45am the next day, suspects smashed the window to a Ford car and stole a stereo and speakers, worth an estimated £600. Number plates have also been targeted by thieves over recent weeks. Basildon crime reduction officer, Michael Armstrong, said: “Thieves often steal number plates to commit other crimes such as making off without paying for petrol, so it can cause a lot of hassle for the car owner if their plates are stolen. “Invest in irreversible screws for your number plates if possible to help prevent this and stay vigilant around your area and report anyone behaving suspiciously around vehicles to police immediately. Police are advising resident to remove all items of value from vehicles at all time, removing everything from the glove box and ashtray and leaving them open so thieves can see there is nothing of value hidden. Residents are also advised to park their vehicles in private garages if possible, in well lit areas overlooked by residential properties. Remove sat nav cradles from the windscreen and wipe away the sucker marks to stop people targeting your car to search for a sat nav. Mr Armstrong added: “Thieves will often break into vehicles to find valuables hidden in glove boxes and under seats, so it really is a worthwhile investment of your time to tidy up your vehicle, remove items of value and display to thieves by leaving the glove box open that there is nothing to steal. “We have seen incidents in this area where thieves will smash a window for some loose change, so don’t take the chance and take everything out.”
If you know who is committing crime in your area, call police on 0300 333 4444 or call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

Do aches and pains spoil your enjoyment of gardening I love my small garden at home and I also keep an 80 x 80 foot allotment. For me gardening is one of my great pleasures in life. For some people however, It can be daunting to look out the window and wonder if they can go outside and do some weeding without ending up being bent double from a bad back!
The aches and pains many people the world over, frequently and often unnecessarily, suffer from are invariably the result of not listening to their body, to ignoring the warning signs and just letting the body get into a state of structural and hence neurological imbalance.
Pain due to a lack of spinal health is a funny thing. Many people I meet in daily practice often tell me how over the years they have had to give up their love of gardening because their aches and pains get in the way. In fact I have even known people who have resorted to moving to a new home with a smaller garden, simply to make life more manageable. Just think of the cost and stress involved with such life changes and all over what can often be as simple a thing as back or muscular strain. If properly diagnosed and treated such pains can be drastically reduced and controlled.
Remember that painkillers just cover the symptoms and if you reach for a bottle of them, look at the warning signs and read any research about the brand that is available on the internet and particularly about the contraindications. I would personally be very careful regarding the use of any such products.
Your body is pretty amazing though - bones, muscles and organs, all of which are controlled by your nervous system. This self same nervous system lets you know you have a problem by giving you a warning sign if you over do it – that warning sign is pain! But what do people generally do, they feel the pain, take a pain killer or have a hot bath and wait for it to go away – it will almost certainly come back again. If the oil warning light came on in your car, would you unscrew the bulb and throw it in the back seat or would you take the car to the garage to get it checked, find out what was wrong and try and get it fixed if you could? That is the logical course of action and that is what most people do.
So, if you want to do some gardening and are concerned about your aches and pains, or are worried that you might do something to set everything off, please listen to your body – it really is an intelligent organism. No pain medication will cure your problem, in fact the only thing that can heal you, is actually you yourself! Take the time to speak to a qualified spinal health care professional who will not only take the time to listen to you, but also takes the time to carry out a full and thorough examination. In this way they will discover the root cause of your aches and pains, and return your body back to a state of balance so your body can get on with the job of healing itself.
