Update Jan 19, 2023: Police have now charged this man.
Update Jan 20, 2023: Numerous readers have positively identified the thief as Daniel Robbins, of 17 Warradale Rd., Silverdale.
Residents of the Silverdale, Warragamba, Wallacia, The Oaks and the Lower Blue Mountains areas are warned against using him.
Footnote: The construction site fence panels have now been located, installed on the side fence at
a house in Gibson St. Warradale, where they are currently being used as
interim fencing for works being carried out by Xxxxx - YES! The thief
and his work vehicle are constantly there while what appears to
be extensive works are completed. It is believed that this residence is owned by the thief or his family.
Update Feb 7, 2023: Following contact
made to Robbins, the
stolen fence panels were returned to the owner along with a confession
and an apology. In return we deleted his name from this webpage,
however the article will remain as it now is because in our opinion,
the thefts were not ones of spontaneous opportunity, but deliberately
planned and executed in the dead of night. Had it not been for the CCTV
cameras and our disclosures in the community interest, this low sneak
would have escaped with both the timber and the fencing. The goods were
returned only because he was found out and exposed.
Update June 3 2023:
It has now been revealed on national television that not only is
Robbins a low sneak thief, but the biggest grub landlord we have ever
heard about. Last night on Channel 9's 'A Current Affair' Robbins was exposed as a truly rotten ratbag in his treatnent of a tenant at the Gibson St residence.
This is compulsive viewing for landlords and tenants in general, and to
the Silverdale and Warragamba communities. View last night's episode here.
Update March 2025: Robbins has
not learned any lessons from his past behaviour. This total asshole has
continued to menace and intimidate people. Pasted below, with the
permission of the person who contacted us, are several emails
concerning Robbin's disgusting behaviour:
First email; "We
are the unfortunate ppl who live next-door to this sad excuse for a human on
Gibson st. In
the 2 years since he's purchased the property he's caused constant trouble.
From jackhammering concrete on our side under the fence. Destroying the
boundary fence with his backhoe in the hope we'd pay for a new fence.
Constantly throws his rubbish over to our property. Throws rocks and cement
into our front lawn. The
second Tennant he had since the current affair episode had to call the police
cause he kept going onto the property and turning off the mains without
bothering to let them know. But they called police also cause Daniel said to
the wife that he was watching their daughters.There
are other things we've had to put up with, but I don't want to make this email
too long. This
guy is a danger to the community."
Second email: "Feel
free to use previous email if you want, I don't expect any miracle fixes. He
got off with a slap when caught red handed even when he advertised who he was.
And yes I agree with you, only reason he apologised is they probably threatened
him with jail time if he didn't. Some ppl believe the earth formed and life
evolved on this planet just in preparation of their arrival. Just like ppl like
Ivan Milat and Jeffrey Dahmer, warning signs are ignored until something
drastic happens. For 1 person to have so many court dates has to explain the
type of person they are."
Third email: "Just
to clarify. For the first few things I did try to communicate and reason with
him, but I soon learned that this is a complete waste of effort. Cause if you
ask him to stop doing something that effects someone other then him, he
deliberately does the opposite. For example when I asked him to stop
jackhamering against the fence at 6am on a Sunday he did it more."
Well maybe things have started to catch up with Robbins. He has
re-registered his company as "24/7 SYDNEY EMERGENCY PLUMBING" on
December 4, 2024. We will do whatever it takes to expose Robbins as the
owner of this 'new business'.just so people who are smart enough to
undertake due diligence, will know who they will be dealing with - or
hopefully not dealing with.
What a disgusting oxygen thief this poor excuse for a human being is.
DO NOT let this man onto or anywhere near your premises. Have nothing to do with him for any reason.
