Ricordo che negli anni 80/90 quasi ogni casa aveva uno di questi adesivi. A volte li vedo ancora adesso nelle case più vecchie.
Non so se hanno funzionato, ma dà una grande nostalgia che le persone nelle comunità siano lì l’una per l’altra

I came across an unused one when I was clearing out my Grandparents house.
I’ve seen a few community WhatsApp group equivalents in a few places.
I think that logo was still in use in the 2000s.

I’ve one better: one of the metal signs that used to be put up in neighbourhoods. A friend stole it one night and gave it to me because I was doing a project in college at the time involving road signs.🤷♂️
we used to be a proper country
Around cork there’s some vvvvery faded one but very clearly distinguishable ones of these plastered around
I wonder how many burglers were about to break into a house but stopped once they saw that sticker
Still have one in my window.
Honest question from someone from South America here: did they work or made any difference?
I still see the odd one, which, I guess, shows that crime hasn’t been entirely eliminated everywhere.
We didn’t.
Snitches get stitches
Still quite common in north dub anyway
I’ve heard the guy that was selling them made millions off of it
They still exist
I think I’ve seen it…
Curtain twitchers.
I remember these well. But I’ve always wondered what they were. Was it like the person who had the sticker was keeping an eye on the neighbourhood or that the neighbourhood had some kind of watch system?
You didn’t need them. Neighbors watching was a national sport back then. The stickers were used to hide splits in the glass panes.
It got you cheaper home insurance if you were part of a neighbourhood watch and had a sticker up. The old nosey Karen’s loved every second of it.
Now I feel like I’m losing it. Do I not see these on the regular still? Or is that just some personal mandala effect?
That would make a great book cover for a dystopian novel
In Donegal we still have them. Signs posted in rural areas.
They don’t make stickers like that any more. 40 years later and you couldn’t get one of these off with a chisel and a blowtorch.
Yes!!!!
It signified which side the house was on in the Neighbourhood Watch split.
The Stickies disbanded after they were caught distributing forged $100 bills for the North Koreans.
