Hedge Creeper

Alternative for pikey and gypo. So called due to its nocturnal activities creeping round the gardens of proper folk looking for things to steal. By day, it spends its time menacing pensioners into having their drive tarmac-ed or perhaps just sitting in its caravan counting its ill-gotten gains. Probably richer than the Queen.

Daily Mail reader: "Those damned hedge creepers have pitched up on the village green again!"
