Couple of guys from the Brighton Lanes turned up in North Kent the other year asking if I had any antiques - 1960's flat, very likely. Little did they know that I came from a Brighton family and knew of cases where people who had been burgled were advised by the police to go and look in the Lanes...
I rang the police, just in case...

I'm sure there are honest Lanes dealers, but I'm a bit over cautious.
