So sorry to hear this. You must feel 'violated' that someone has invaded your personal space gone through your belongings. |

Sorry to hear that. It really gets me that people are going round in the night trying doors to see if they are unlocked. I hope they didn't get anything of great value and that you7 will soon recover from the experience. <3 |

Most domestic locks can be picked in < 1 minute. Fortunately most of the hoodies haven't got a clue. Prime target is car keys. |

sis in law had good locks on sturdy front & back doors............ then got an awful shock when she realised the laundry door (with a deadlock) was a flimsy affair! That has now been replaced with a good sturdy door. |

we'd just had new double glazed windows fitted - hadn't even paid for them - when someone got in our house by removing the whole window!!! fortunately my husband got up to use the bathroom and they must have been scared off - when he came down in the morning they had the TV and remote ready to remove - they caught the guy - when I asked for his name the PC asked why I wanted to know. I said I was sure he'd want to know if someone broke into his house. He gave me the name and the area where he lived, so I asked if he had ever worked for a double glazing company - "Worked?" said the PC, never done a day's work in his life - spent most of his time in prison |

They see it as a legitimate way of Christmas shopping. In our village thieves broke into a secure garage where the presents were stored for a toddlers party. The owner is a child minder. I hope they thought they had vakluables when what they had was little lego packs etc. Unfortunately the poor lady found that the venue for the party was double booked. One of the mothers got 'working' and the local community centre let them have a room half price, which a local builder paid and all the local businesses bought new presents so the children still had their party despite the low life who took their presents. There are some horrible people around these days. |

What a nasty experience. These sneak thieves are scum. It's not just what they take it is the fact that they have come into your home and invaded your space. |

I just know the feeling after being burgled in August. I had my car stolen and hubbies van keys were taken. Did not bother having cctv installed as you have to have a sticker in your window to say you have it. With everyone nowadays wearing hoodies it would be a waste of money.Have not got a alarm yet as we have a dog that could set it off. We are looking at a wireless one and one where we can turn off a room where the dog is ,which means shutting the dog up instead of her having the run of the house. The best thing I have found where I can sleep of a night is stairgates. I prop one up against the front door and one up against the back door. I have no carpet but amtico flooring. Can you imagine the noise of that crashing down in the middle of the night. I think that may wake my neighbours as well. Someone has been arrested for my car but on bail to Jan. They were caught on cctv in petrol station filling it up as I had left it empty. At least you were unharmed x |

Not a very nice thing to happen, but I assume you had a pull down handle on the front door? |

Jax does have a point about too much security. |
