This was burglary number three I think – frustrating but in the scheme of things minimal damage was done. To back track Abi, my neighbourhood, contacted me sometime around 28th December to say that the house had been broken into and that things were missing. My immediate panic concerned my laptop and hard drive but Abi reassured me that no one had actually got into the house, which left me somewhat confused. The story goes that either the night guard was asleep, he had wandered off somewhere or he let the intruders into the plot of the house. Then the intruders proceeded to prise open the windows for the bedrooms and as they cannot climb in due to the metal bars on each window they must have used a hook or claw to drag things to the windows and out. In the end they took a duvet, some pillows, sheets and bed sheets, and ran off when the night guard started screaming to Abi around 4am that someone was stealing things from the house. Now I have another new night guard and the security company are begrudgingly going to pay for the stolen items. So annoying but it could have been worse and the items taken can easily be replaced.
