In "Jamie's Britain" this would be part of the punishment. Although I would go further and take their favoured hand instead. They wouldn't bloody do it again that's for sure.

I can't imagine what it must be like to come home and find your house ransacked. The thought of someone going through your personal possessions looking for some easy money sickens me. Yes it's only possessions like laptops and jewellery which can all be replaced under insurance, but that's so not the point

It's the personal stuff that only has value to you that's the worse (photos and such), it hits you the hardest and is no good to them so what's the point??? Makes my blood boil. Hope you get it all sorted smoothly and quickly...

That properly sucks, I feel your pain about losing the photos and memories, that is the worst thing. Everything is replaceable but them.

I hate thief's and pikeys/chavs.

Some sh it tried it round here one night.

Sadly, it got away. Decided to do an easier house a week or so later.

Best of luck trying to sort it all out.

All our spare car keys are in the safe, bolted in an odd location, and both sets of S keys.

The day to day keys are in a key safe.

I believe they often use the odd fishing rod type excercise through the letter box for the keys on hall table etc, or just smash the door in and grab the keys. My boss had his RR sport knicked like that, but then he does live in Romford/Hornchurch

As my S is now dead I have the keys as decoys incase of burglary.
It'll be lots of fruitless wandering around the street trying to locate it.


Mind, as I know who's breaking it I suppose I could always flog them to make a lock set

Cheers for the replys guys. No laptop at hand so it's hard to get online at the mo. I kinda wish they took the car. It was cold that night, floor was slippery. They wouldn't have got far on cold bridgestones before 'WAHEY...BANG' and hopefully they would've broken a leg or 2 and got caught. Now that would have been an insurance claim well worth it!
