:00:35. > :00:37.time, I was very stiff, but I survived it. Also tonight. Preying

:00:46. > :00:50.just take them, there is nothing left, there is nothing I can get
:00:51. > :00:54.back to. You have lost your whole lifetime 's work, your hobby. So the
:00:55. > :00:57.breeders, they are their babies. And it is absolutely heartbreaking and

:01:06. > :01:06.local? Not even bothered to replace it with anything, just completely
:01:07. > :01:25.pulled it down. When thieves break in they're
:01:26. > :01:28.usually after easy pickings, grabbing anything to hand that might
:01:29. > :01:31.make some quick cash. But when a house at Blaby in Leicestershire was
:01:32. > :01:35.burgled, it wasn't money, jewellery or even flat screen tellies they
:01:36. > :01:49.were after. It was a particular type of pet. Jon Cuthill reports.
:01:50. > :01:56.It is hobby, like I say, I have been breeding budgies since I was 14.

:02:17. > :02:19.hundred with a variety of exotic species. That was until thieves
:02:20. > :02:26.broke into back garden in Blaby, Leicestershire. In one night his
:02:27. > :02:32.collection was decimated. I just came in, at night`time, and I got up
:02:33. > :02:38.the next day and whatever, and everything is gone. They stole very
:02:39. > :02:47.specific birds? Yes, they knew what they wanted. 34 then Belize and 12
:02:48. > :02:52.canaries. They take so many, and it is heartbreak. Graham reported the
:02:53. > :02:55.theft to Leicestershire Police. As of yet this bird crime remains
:02:56. > :02:58.unsolved. And this isn't an isolated incident. There's been dozens of

:04:03. > :04:04.why? Why do it to someone like that? At the Budgie World Championships in
:04:05. > :04:08.Doncaster, competitors have gathered to show off their exhibition birds
:04:09. > :04:13.in the hope they'll win Best in Show. Decades of selective breeding
:04:14. > :04:18.have gone into producing what's considered to be the best looking
:04:19. > :04:27.birds in the business. So these are highly desirable budgerigars. You
:04:28. > :04:31.might not think these little fellows are the prices of pets, but you
:04:32. > :04:35.would be wrong. Just like pedigree pooches, the real top ones are worth
:04:36. > :04:38.hundreds of pounds. That is why thieves across the East Midlands are
:04:39. > :04:42.targeting them. And police are warning owners to beware. John
:04:43. > :04:46.Hayward runs the National Theft Register for stolen and lost birds
:04:47. > :04:54.across the UK. He's convinced there's got to be a link between
:04:55. > :05:00.many of these crimes. These are professional thieves. I'm sure that
:05:01. > :05:04.in relation to the budgerigar thefts that we've had, these birds are not
:05:05. > :05:10.being taken to show purposes, they are top exhibition birds. There is a
:05:11. > :05:13.tremendous demand for quality birds throughout the whole of Europe. Many
:05:14. > :05:16.so called exhibition birds are microchipped or ringed to identify
:05:17. > :05:20.them. John's convinced thieves wouldn't attempt to do away with
:05:21. > :05:24.these as it's likely to injure or kill the bird in the process.
:05:25. > :05:27.Instead they'll breed from the stolen birds and then sell on their
:05:28. > :05:40.untraceable yet highly desirable chicks. They are being taken to be
:05:41. > :05:43.sold into, I would suspect, the European or even the International,
:05:44. > :05:46.totally international illegal trade for breeding purposes. The recent
:05:47. > :05:54.outbreak of raids on aviaries has ruffled some feathers and it's put
:05:55. > :05:58.breeders on edge. Every knock or bang outside the front of my house,
:05:59. > :06:03.a cat knocking something ever, I find myself jumping out of bed and
:06:04. > :06:09.checking to see if there is a prowler or something trying to break
:06:10. > :06:13.in. If people want to get in, it is the same of your house, if they want
:06:14. > :06:17.to get in, they will get in. You have just got to make it as hard as
:06:18. > :06:21.possible. We are considering getting a dog again, we are also considering
:06:22. > :06:33.this sort of thing, canvas. Security wise. So how widespread problem is
:06:34. > :06:38.it? We have had it in Northampton and Derby, and other towns. It is a
:06:39. > :06:43.devastating effect. You have lost your whole lifetimes work, your
:06:44. > :06:48.hobby, so the breeders, they are their babies. And it is absolutely

:07:04. > :07:08.hundreds of pounds to secure his aviary. And if thieves return, this
:07:09. > :07:19.time he's ready to catch them in the act. We have now got an eight camera
:07:20. > :07:23.CCTV system, which covers all four corners of the garden, including all
:07:24. > :07:29.the flat roofs and hedges. This was under police advice. This is the
:07:30. > :07:34.area that they actually broke into the garden. They cut through the
:07:35. > :07:38.hedge with the next`door neighbour's garden tools, then they
:07:39. > :07:43.cut through the two layers of wire, then they had full access to the
:07:44. > :07:48.garden. It is an instant numbness. It is like a dream that has gone
:07:49. > :07:54.into slow motion. I know it sounds exaggerated but it is like a dream.
:07:55. > :07:57.You realise something's gone. Exploring the recovery rate, it's

:08:01. > :08:09.criminals use a chemical spray which temporarily stuns the birds and
:08:10. > :08:14.keeps them quiet during a raid. So as well as CCTV and security lights,
:08:15. > :08:23.alarms on aviaries are now advised. Nigel thinks the outlay is well
:08:24. > :08:29.worth it. It sound manager genetic, but it does seem as though part of
:08:30. > :08:34.the family has gone. `` it could sound melodramatic. You have got a
:08:35. > :08:38.reason to get up in the morning, to feed your birds, look after your
:08:39. > :08:42.birds. You would like to close your eyes, open them and find them still
:08:43. > :08:47.there. Did breeders and owners need to realise what is going on and take
:08:48. > :08:51.better security measures? Absolutely. We are incessantly
:08:52. > :08:58.reminding bird keepers of all types, particularly these species which are
:08:59. > :09:02.more honourable to being stolen, budgerigars in particular, that

:09:11. > :09:13.for being stolen. But this message comes too late for people like

:15:12. > :15:17.it been like leaving all that intense training behind? I'm
:15:18. > :15:20.obviously still very much involved in swimming. It's nice, not waking
:15:21. > :15:24.up at 5:15am. That's definitely the nice part of it, but it's not been a
:15:25. > :15:28.complete drop`off. A lot of people retire and then it's like boom!
:15:29. > :15:32.Nothing. Whereas at least I've had kind of a nice ease into it rather
:15:33. > :15:38.than just like this huge drop`off. So I've been pretty lucky. I thought
:15:39. > :15:41.I lost my identity a little bit. Like, I always saw myself as Helen
:15:42. > :15:46.The Canoeist and now I'm just like Helen The Mum and it sort of seems a
:15:47. > :15:48.bit different. Can you relate to that? Yeah. Completely. Everyone

:16:17. > :16:20.of everything I've had to deal with that I found really hard. I kind of
:16:21. > :16:24.got a little bit of fame and then everyone slagged me off for the way
:16:25. > :16:28.I looked and I was like, "What's that got to do with my swimming?"

:20:52. > :20:57.us go to my hometown. I am at a place called the Bentinck Inn. It
:20:58. > :21:02.was opposite the train station, a bit rough but with one or two people
:21:03. > :21:11.in, it was a nice place to have a drink, I would say. Cheers! It is
:21:12. > :21:18.not all doom and gloom. Castle Rock is Nottingham's biggest rotary and
:21:19. > :21:24.have 19 pubs on the books. They are handing out beer and breakfast to
:21:25. > :21:28.remember Richard Beckinsale. It is a place that knows how to keep the
:21:29. > :21:31.punters happy. Some places have priced themselves out and I think
:21:32. > :21:36.people are looking for a specific place to go that has everything for

:22:26. > :22:39.find it really sad that it is not a pub any more. Next stop, the

:24:31. > :24:38.Derby Mile with the Beer King. Back then, you did not walk the Derby
:24:39. > :24:43.Mile, you drank it. So out of four pubs so far, only one
:24:44. > :24:48.is open. That is not a good strike rate. Here is a novelty, a pub that
:24:49. > :24:55.is open! Don't get me wrong, there are still pubs like this one. It is
:24:56. > :24:58.lovely. Droves, they would come in, drink, and go out the back door and
:24:59. > :25:03.move into the city. That does not happen any more. Like a lot of pubs,
:25:04. > :25:06.you have to work to get people in and keep them in. You need a good
:25:07. > :25:16.cross`section of people, young and old. At its peak, there were a dozen
:25:17. > :25:23.pubs along the Mile. Now there are only four. Does that mean we are

:26:56. > :27:01.of people in Nottingham who don't want my business to die. Let us end
:27:02. > :27:06.this on a positive note. There is a pub at the end of my street that I
:27:07. > :27:09.would love to show you. We create an environment that people love to come

:27:17. > :27:25.televisions, no bandits, just beer and talk. We make a reasonable
:27:26. > :27:28.profit and the problem with pubs nowadays is that they are usually
:27:29. > :27:33.with chains, the landlord finds it very difficult to make a living. The
:27:34. > :27:39.beauty of this place is that the people we buy the beer from are the
:27:40. > :27:46.people who make it so they deliver it and we have a relationship with
:27:47. > :27:52.them. So the local is dead, long live the local. Maybe if pubs want
