Came home 10.20 last night to watch WSYM.On entering my house I thought its ing cold in here then felt the wind.On further investigation I found my kitchen window levered out of its frame(9"x36" 6'of the ground)FOOK I 'VE BEEN BURGLED!First reaction was grab a meat cleaver and look for the thieving scum in the back garden and house(nobody there)second reaction call the boys in blue(too busy will try to get along later)Still no sign of them 16Hrs later.So feeling let down I decided to see what had been stolen.Guess what NOTHING was taken.They didnt even pick up the money lying around in open view(about

 

have you made sure you have both sets of keys, something silly but san be overlooked. cancel your credit cards as they now have your name, address and could have taken a written copy of other docs you may well have laying around.

sounds over the top but it does happen. identity fraud is the biggest thing at the moment.

re check everything you have, keys left anywhere for house? gas meter card? that sort of stuff.

sorry to make you feel paranoid but you will only know once its to late.

 

Cheers for your input s2uk.I don't think that is the case though I think they were purely and simply after the car keys.Plus if they nick my i.d. I would think I'm not liable .Or am I?

 

Shit mate, really feel for you.

Bet the coppers would have soon been around if you'd told them you'd caught one of the pikey scum and had accidently chopped his head off.

Keep calling plod until they send someone round, soco should be able to get some prints, though the longer its left the less likely.

 

I'm not holding my breath on soco's finding anything(or even turning up for that matter)I'm sure I'll get someone offering me counselling though

 

Almost certainly just after your car keys. There's been a lot of this lately and apparantly lots of people keep their car keys in kitchen drawers, so the kitchen window is a favourite point of entry.

Without wanting to sound alarmist, you should now review your household security. The lack of police response is nothing short of bloody disgraceful.

 

Cheers Cedric. Household security is being reviewed.Ill tell you what mate they will have to go some next time!I am in the process of making the place like fort knox Its crap that i should have to go to all this trouble,but it's a sad reflection of the society we are living in.Ho hum it could be worse. They could have relieved my of my worldly chattels and the S

 

Well I think the sad state of affairs is, if you can't prove you didn't do it then you probably could be held accountable.

Its just like someone making a copy of your number plate and putting it on a similar car to your own and then they go set off speed camera's or something. Unless you can prove you weren't at the scene you'll be the one who's door they'll be knocking on.

It's a growing trend, but sadly we're making it easier and easier for people to commit. What better way to do something than pretend to be someone else, do your evil bidding then let some poor soul take the blame...

 

Horrible, I feel for you mate. You did check the loft didn't you? I heard a story about burglars being disturbed and hiding out in the loft till they thought the coast was clear.

As s2uk says, make sure you have both sets of keys accounted for, as well as your credit cards/cheque books/passports etc.

 

Disgraceful yes Tonky but not unusual My sisters place in Lewisham was broken into, she came home and found the door forced. Called the police from outside the flat and they came (cool so far)- after making sure it was empty they went again saying forensic guy would be round soon so not to disturb anything. She was on her own with a smashed in front door in a dodgy area of Lewisham and her place is isolated. The guy didn't turn up for the rest of the night or the following morning - eventually turned up the following afternoon
