Early hours of Saturday morning.
They broke in through the garage door and in through our utility.
Cleared out the dining room but no further. Got my laptop cameras, wallet, cheque books, phones, bluetooth headset, CD’s, car keys (not the car) other computer stuff, usb memory sticks, etc. Jenny’s watch and other stuff

They took all of our coats from the cupboard – apparently they go through them looking for signatures and pin numbers.

We where in bed at the time which is scary!

At least they did not come upstairs.

They did a couple of other houses on our estate as well, or at least the Police think it was them.

The car had to be towed away for a new set of keys/locks, immobiliser reprogrammed

I am fecking mad as hell about it!

 

 

Thats absolutely sickening.

Hope the scum that did this die from an O.D. of the drugs they're probably gonna buy with the money.

 

gutted for you mate, know how it feels

Hope the plod catch em...not too likely tho

 

Sorry to hear this, Paul.

Agree with 5C008Y. Just hope that they suffer.

Did you have a burglar alarm?

 

Putting a burglar alarm on when you're in, ain't much good - you never know when you'll need to go downstairs in the night.

 

SOCO should be around soon, when we were screwed this meathead and his mate turned up, he was a civie and self employed.

I thought, here we go......

He was well clued up though, took a swab from a piece of duct tape that the scum had put over my window before smashing it, and hey presto scum is now locked up.

Got him on DNA through his spit, credit were credit is due, the Police did their job well, and kept us all informed as to what was going on.

Everything is sorted with us now, other than a box of watch links that the insurance wouldnt pay for, so I hope you get sorted soon.

Later Yoza

 

My alarm allows me to have a "night time" setting which turns off the hallway PIR (so I can have a pi$$) but still activates all the "external" triggers. Break in and the alarm goes off; moving around inside is fine.

 

Scumbags I hope they die of some nasty painful disease affecting their private parts.

 

Sorry to hear that Paul

 

Thank christ for that, god knows what they would/could have done

Glad ur all ok.

 

Scary what can happen. Hope the scum get caught and so glad for you that they never came upstairs. Still, no amount of "sorry's" from people will make up for what you have had taken or for the fact that your home was violated by strangers

 

Not much point in having an alarm then!

Most burglaries are at night .............?

We set ours at night, if we need to go downstairs we just opo and switch it off then reset it when we go back up to bed, only takes a few seconds and worth the piece of mind.

 

Sorry to hear that Paul

At least no one was harmed.

Get a zoned alarm - well worth it for peace of mind.

Our non alarmed rooms are well protected as well

 

Don't know you personally, Paul, but sorry to hear about your incident.

As everybody else has said, at least you guys are OK (physically) - hope it all works out OK

Dan

 

Sorry to here this Paul it really sucks

Darren

 

Paul, YHPM

 

As a matter of interest, how do you protect your non-alarmed rooms?

 

With these two

 

Ha ha ha. Nice one - I'm sure I've seen that picture before somewhere.

Remember - if a burglar breaks in and your dogs bite him - you're going to jail

 

Not if you put a sign up saying, dogs on guard

Darren

 

That would be fair, but I feel it would be unlikely - the theiving ****** would probably claim that because our educational system has failed them, they are unable to read the signs and therefore were a victim of a savage attack.

Jury says not guilty and sends him on a holiday to learn English at our expense...

Who says I'm a cynic?

 

Not if my dogs were acting in self defence

Anyway, what makes you think there would be anything left to complain?

TBH the prospect of any complaint being made after the police had dealt with the individual would be minimal - they take a more open view of justice up here

 

Sorry to hear that Paul. Obviously with our recent burgulary and the stealing of my lovely little car, I totally understand what you're going through.

Even weeks on, I check the doors are locked a few times before going to bed and am getting to the point of obsession about home security.

It's awful to think some scummers have been in your house while you were there. I'm hoping it will pass over time.......

 

The Police actually took an interest then? That's novel.

UB

 

.........or the sign wasn't adequetley lit

 

Paul,

Absolutely gutted for you mate, what a bunch of *******

Hope you get it sorted, and fingers crossed they catch the tossers.

Cheers mate
Neil

 

Sorry to hear about this Paul

 

Yes most are obviously at night but another really bad time for burgalries is about 4-4.30 in winer months when it is dark and they know most people are still at work. Especially if your house happens to be behind a publice footpath with a lot of trees for cover.

As i know only too well
