Last night was not a good night. We got burgled at around 00:40 whilst we were in bed. Nothing was taken from the house except for my car keys. Of course, it didn’t stop there, and the delicate polite yoof then did away with my rather nice Mini Cooper S from off the drive. So, in the wee small hours of this morning, we were giving statements to the local constabulary and waiting for the boarding up service man to do his business. Kudos to both sets. The police were here promptly and the boarding up man did a stoking job on the rear patio door where the git gained access (picture here).

So now we’re in to reporting mode. Both insurance lots were notified last night, and there’ll no doubt be more phone calls to make this morning. Having lost several hours of sleep, we’re up and about. Dan is still fast asleep thankfully. He was worried in case the thieves came back for his Club Penguin collection which is clearly his (current) pride and joy. Needless to say, we offered all appropriate reassurances that we thought his collection was safe.

Sorry to hear about your loss, David.

I awakened to find an intruder in my bedroom. … He got away.

Maybe it’s time to start thinking about using cheap Web Cams for security.

My friend Herb said “Maybe later” and we Lost Him. A Florida lady called the police when her cell phone alerted her and was still watching when police arrived and collared the intruders.

Not bad for a $50 camera? More

Regards.
