That's terrible. I'm sorry for the property you had stolen.

I'm unclear -- did this burglary occur while you were at work, or at home asleep?

Thats bad news. I also got broken into on Friday night. I live in a town appartment block on my own (as in i am the only resident). they came through the communal front door and then they kicked a door off its hinges to gain access to my private garden. i was awoken by the sound of people banging around. I went to my window and could see the communal light shining through where they had kicked the other door off. they were trying all all the door handles on the doors above me. I called the police and told them and they said they would send somebody out. Knowing what response times on police call outs are like i thought i best deal with it myself. Sure enough they begin to try accessing my door so i put my balaclava on (its black with just the eyes showing) and grabed my 1,000,000 candle torch and crowbar. I crept to my front door and where there is a long slim glass window. I stood right in front of the window and turned the torch under my face and roared fucking crazily with my crowbar in front of my face. The guys scrambled so fast.


that happened at 3am


the police called me back at 4.30am to ask if the intruders were still there! i said no and they said ok we will send somebody to see you between 8-9am!

when the police arrived the next day they said they couldnt do anything. Great.

Hey Jess. Thanks for your concern. Im not afraid of burgalars though. Just people, and you have to realise that they are on unknown territory. the key is to strike fear into them (batman style! lol ) y'know 'become fear itself'.

For instance. Imagine that you are a burgalar and that you break into a house.. you have no idea where anything is or your way around. You walk into a room and you see a man stood there lookimng at you with a plastic mask of the queen of england on and a bread knife in his hand. what would u think?

Its a much better line of defense that screaming oneself into a corner.

Of course call the police first and keep safe at all times but if its inevitable that you are gonna come face to face then make yourself even more scary than they could ever be.

We have an alarm system as do all the neighbors. Even so, it takes the alarm company 30 min. to arrive, so the burglers grab what they can and get out. Even with iron bars over the windows. The burglers pry them off. In one situation, the burglers stayed below the motion detector beams and took all the expensive middle eastern rugs.
The best determent is a dog or dogs. Burglers don't like anything announcing their arrival.

So sorry about the jacket. Can you replace it?

Sorry to hear that.

My parents once got burglarized and it was very "intrusive" to think that someone was in your home - your personal space - while you were out.

My placed was robbed recently as well. They stole 2 computers, my Blackberry and my digital camera. I'm pissed about it but more than anything, I miss my photos and my entire music catalogue was on my computer.
