Friday night, with a few friends, I went messing around as usual which we always do on friday nights. We're used to climbing, just for fun, on london buildings and houses or doing all kinds of crazy things like fighting on the street, pretending to knock ourselves onto posts and filming it all on camera.

Yesterday, we didnt have our camera luckily, but we still did all our usual stuff until we came across and easy climable wall on the Victoria and Albert Museum. We climbed up the collums with people staring at us because it was quite a busy road.

We came onto a flat roof and started to explore around. REMEMBER: We are not criminals and didnt want to break in or anything, it was just a bit of dangerous fun which we all love. We went further down, and then saw a guard. We're use to that. We just ran back but we didnt realise that the floor we were on which was a little bridge was metalic and it made a big noise.

We waited on the other side and then heard the guard going OI!!!
We ran for our lives. We ran back towards the wall we climbed on and jumped off it. I had to wait a tiny bit because one of my mates took a while to go down. But that was enough. As soon as I went down on the ground, four guards jumped on me; I didnt even have time to get up.
The others managed to ran off but two of them got very lucky because the guards managed to put an arm on them but didnt manage to hold on.

They escorted me into the museum security control room and called the cops. The cops asked me what I was doing here, if I stole anything, if I vandalised the place, and the names of the guys who were with me. I didnt give them the names of course but they all still managed to get caught afterwards.

I'm thoroughly depressed and hope that things wont get worse since my school is near that museum. So the cops will contact them and give us our names. I've had that kind of problem last year and I got expelled for two days. This time it might be forever. My parents are pissed off and
I'm trying to put together a story to explain to the headmaster why we went up there. The school's responsible since I didnt go home before that time. At least there are four of us so I dont have to face the music on my own. I also hope I'm not going to get a criminal record. All we can do now is hope.

lil bitchiness
I dont think you are gonna get criminal record..if you are not 18 and if this is you're first offence then you are not gonna get one.

Royal Victoria & Albert Museum!!! You cant seriously expect to climb all over it and not get caught....

Dirty Vader
Here's the museum: sad

dave123
i doubt you'll get a reocord, probably just called an idiot thumb up

wicker_man
I like your sig Dirty Vader very appropriate for this thread.

Fire
lil has a point here

Dirty Vader
Its not realy my first offense because of that thing from last year.

Tex
laughing out loud

Dirty Vader
I went on the Natural History Museum and didnt get caught. Even though guards were running after us.

nazgulinthedark
roll eyes (sarcastic) little troublemakers...

lil bitchiness
Natural History Museum...you didnt get caught climbing all over Natural History Museum in London! What the f**k? As if...

Ive been to Royal Victoria & Albert Museum ages ago, and i can tell you, and the security are literaly ALL OVER the bloody place...same with Natural History...i still dont get how you didnt get caught there...

nazgulinthedark
yes i've never been there, but from the pic it looks heavily guarded

Dirty Vader
I had a better head-start since it was the back door and no busy street. We saw two of the guards inside the building running towrds the exits with their talkie-walkies. But this time the guards were close to that wall we climbed on because it was on a busy road. We were very lucky that time.

Dirty Vader
Plus we didnt do that stuff during daytime otherwise we wouldnt of had a chance of getting to the point we got to and wouldnt of even thought of doing it. Both times the museums were CLOSED.

Having re-read my posts, I admit it seems unlikely and like I'm showing off, but I'm not. I feel like shit and only hope things wont get worse.

The night we did on the Natural History Museum which was closed of course, we went through the back of the place. Oh and that time it wasnt the roof, it was between four walls but still outside. We had to climb a wall to get to that pit nethertheless. There were plenty of windows which gave into that area and that's how the guards saw us.
Luckily we saw them too. They then called into their talkie walkies and that's when we ran at full speed and managed to get away.

Friday, it was on a smaller roof than the front roof we see on the pic but still quite tall. We could of all gotten away with it again but we took to much time to react and go down the wall. That's why I got caught. Plus, since there was an entrance to the museum on the road, the guards came out quicker that time. While waiting for the cops, a guard told me that people got caught up there all the time.

Friday, we were unlucky and stupid (which I am all the bloody time).

lil bitchiness
Exacly...when museums are CLOSED they still have security you know...a high one for that matter...

nazgulinthedark
yes higher than in the day

Dirty Vader
Security's high inside the building but not outside. They didnt even have CCTVs both times.

lil bitchiness
They have CCTV, and im sure of it...especially at Royal Victoria...there are some darn expecnive stuff inside! confused

Dirty Vader
Oh yes, of course there is CCTV but not in the area we went. I overheard a guard saying to a cop, that they didnt have CCTV at that section when asked.

There is a lot of expensive stuff inside. At the moment there showing gothic medieval stuff, with crown jewels and crap like that.

Dirty Vader
Plus we looked around for any cameras before we went further. Hidden cameras were nowhere to be found and we're usualy good at spotting them. We're used to doing those kind of things anyway and we've never been caught but this time it was a bit too much for us.

lil bitchiness
How old are you? huh?

dave123
16/17 is my guess

lil bitchiness
Do you REALLY think they are gonna make CCTV's visual to teenagers!! What the f**k?

Dirty Vader
Good guess 123.
If the cop asked for CCTV, the museum would give CCTV.
But they told him they didnt. And I see your point lil, but what I'm trying to say is we've spotted hidden cameras before. Maybe not high tec cameras like the albert museum but still.

By the way, what if those teenagers happened to be well experienced and highly equiped crooks. smokin'

Crash_Overload
just don't take up professional theift as a living.

Crash_Overload
DANG! i posted that a second after you..... now it makes no sense....

lil bitchiness
haha!

Dirty Vader
I think it makes more sense now then it would of before but if you say so. Oh dont worry I wont take prof theft, I'm stupid but not as bad as that. I'm just trying to be a kid as long as I can.

Crash_Overload
AMEN TO THAT!!!! Perents don't get that... even if THEy want to be a kid again....

Curl_Up&Dye
Just say you were all playing frisbee or hackey sack or bouncing around a ball and it ended up on the ledge, so you climbed up to get it...then the guards came and violently took you into custody. smile

lil bitchiness
Best thing is not to climb up museums, especially big fancy one...especialy in London...

London rocks btw rock

Tired Hiker
Dirty Vader, don't be so hard on yourself. One day, I guarantee you, you will look back on all this and laugh your ass off as hard as I am laughing right now. laughing out loud laughing laughing out loud laughing laughing out loud rolling on floor laughing

Live it up! Just be careful. wink

Dirty Vader
Its to late for that now, the cops now the truth and will tell it to the school. If we had told the cops we had a frisbee or hackey sack, they would of searched us for it and it is quite unlikely to kick a hackey sack up there or play frisbey on that street. And how would we explain why we all went up there and why we went further down the area.
Thanks for trying though Curl.

One day I will laugh about it Hiker, I'm laughing a bit about it right now because its so stupid and it can still get me into more trouble. sad

bLooMiLiCioUs
laughing out loud i'm laughin for one!!!laughing

Dirty Vader
Good news! The cops didnt and wont tell the school. I dont know how come, but I didnt get a criminal record. That was too close, but everything turned out fine.

Tired Hiker
I new it would, buddy! wink big grin

Darth Bandon
They should lock you up in the Tower of London.http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/hang.gif http://www.killermovies.com/forums/images/moresmilies/giljotiini.gif

lil bitchiness
Haha!!

Why would you climb all over museums...messed espeially Royal Victoria one....

Crash_Overload
OY!.... sometimes teenage males are missunderstood....

Why do we throw charcoal at passing cars? What tie a hose to a 2 litter plastic bottel and shove it under cars? Why Put Stink Bombs in the mail? Why stay up late? Why Cross go on private places? 3 simple words, Fun and Curisity.

Will they stop? How Much will it blow up? What Will The Mailman Do when he takes a wiff? Why Not? Becasue we like the Exitment.

lil bitchiness
uuuuuuuhuh! What the f**k?

Sorry, sorry, i kind of assumed you were ment to behaive like responsible adults instead of little boys...my mistake!

Tired Hiker
Boys will be boys, okay!!!

lil bitchiness
Yeah...sorry i said anything....

Crash_Overload
Llaughing out loudL Doesn't mean I do all thoes things (I assited) (and we only did the plastic bottel and prank called company numbers in china...) And then again that was about 6 years ago.... when i was 10. The Most Mischeivus (sp) (if that even is a word) thing I have done latly is .... well......Sign up my friend's e-mail (familly e-mail) with loads apon loads of porn addressed to his name...... and when his parents opened the account, well, you get the idea.

lil bitchiness
OMG!! laughing out loud

The e-mail thing id deffinitevly do!! :

DracotheDragon
That was hilarious! You really expected not to get caught! Wish i was that reckless.... rock

Dirty Vader
Its all part of the fun. When we heard the guard going "OI!", we just laughed while we were running away. Of course later when we got caught we didnt laugh.
And the day I learnt nothing was going to happen, I wanted to go back to that place and climb the roof again. Its just exitement! I dont think I'll do it again for a long time though or maybe never. But that's wishful thinking.
stupid things we do: fake street fights, knocking ourselves against posts, putting bangers into peoples letter boxes (which are illegal mind you), smoke balls into phone boxes, climbing on all kinds off roofs and scafoldings, making all the car alarms ring in the same street (brilliant noise), pretending to be thieves in the subway. The list is endless.
