Just to let you know, I've been burgled on tuesday the 12th of July while I was on holiday !
So please be aware, keep an eye on suspicious people and lock your doors day and night while you're not at home !!!
The police could not find any finger prints, they were wearing gloves.

That is tough, bad luck!
Was there anything you would do differently now, any ideas how they got in etc?
We're living on a shared house. The police said that they came in by the front door with a chisel. We never used double lock it, now we will ! The main mystery is : how did they pass the first door (the sharing door) ?
Anyway, you are all aware now, its all it mater !
With respect, how can i keep an eye on suspicious people when i'm away on holiday ?
You cannot, James, but your neighbours can- this is about communities that have each others' backs!
Sorry to hear this Lily.
The best deterrent is a burglar alarm but failing that, window locks, a London bar, lights on timers etc. I had a leaflet from the SNT recently which said don't just leave your hallway light on - burglars know the occupants aren't sitting on the stairs all night long!
Smartwater is another deterrent (you can get stickers to put in your windows so potential burglars know your valuables can be traced)
FYI i don't lock my house door. If someone wants to break in then they will anyway, saves the cost of a new door if it's locked. We need the courage to leave our doors unlocked and if anything happens bring the full force of law on their heads. Wouldn't it be better if we could all do that ? And have a proper community without all this drip feed of fear ?
I had a lock changed when I moved in, the locksmith showed how ridiculously easy it is to open yale locks. No damage, just used a piece of flimsy plastic around the door frame and popped it open, took 5-10 seconds.
The only people I know with that attitude don't have anything worth nicking,
