Sorry to hear that mate.

But I guess like you say, no one was hurt. Small consolation though.

 

double blimey ....... whilst you were upstairs asleep !

sorry to hear about it m8

hope they [smiley=policeman.gif] catch the turds... [smiley=rifle.gif]

 

Bloody Hell, the Bastards are getting more and more daring.

Very sorry to hear but I guess at least no one was hurt.

 

At least nobody was hurt, but even if caught they probably wont get banged up. But, if you assault them, you get banged up... Thats fair

 

out of interest where in the country r u ? could it be the same batch that did the others recently?

 

sorry m8, do you have a house alarm ,

 

Sorry to here that,
I have had two attempts at home.

I have resorted to security lighting and attaching wind chimes to the doors at night. The second time the idiots even had the nerve to park outside the house.
I heard them the first time and the wind chime scared them off the second.

Doesnt really help when the Government and police announce that no real action will be taken against first time burglers. That is unless you disturb them and they sue you for GBH.

 

That's a hell a lot of kit to have lying around with no house alarm. I installed one in my place last month. It's totally wireless, took an hour to install, and if it goes off, it rings me on my mobile. I can also activate, disactivate and listen in from my mobile. The price of this technology (and piece of mind)? 280 quid. Now that is cheap - it costs more than that for a years subscription to a monitored system.

 

Sorry to here that but what a co-incidence....

and guess who is more likely to get into trouble for it. :-/

 

So what system was that and where did you get it? Im interested ....

 

So the solution is BreTT to murder them and chop them into little pieces in your bath. They have to be small bits otherwise you wont be able to fit 'em in yer TT ;D

 

Sorry to hear this Bash,

sounds like you were lucky and at least no attempt to disturb you!

Any ideas on how entry was gained? :-/

I guess if you then managed to mash them down the plug hole & into the sewers, the multitude of rats should then finish the job. Its sad to think this is the only real way of defending your home... :'(

bloody police..

what the hell is happening to so called british justice... turning into American Law i think

 

At least in american law you can defend your property. We cannot even do that...

 

Sorry to hear that Bash

 

Thanks to all for the concern.

House is alarmed - just wasn't turned on cos we were at home. Will be zoned off now.

They broke the dead bolts and lifted the patio door out of the runners. Have doubled up on dead bolts since.

Did mention to the cops - hypothetically - what would have happened if I heard a noise and went downstarts with my shotgun (unloaded off course) - they said chances that me being arrested and sentenced - even if i did nothing with it but scared them off - were high. :-/

You cannot really moan at the cops in this situation. They are only doing their job. It is the goverment (& I think primarily the joke EU legislation) which gives them more rights than the victims...

Not to mention the liklihood of being sued for causing emotionally distress :'(.

The justice system is truly a joke

Shocked to hear about this Bash, they are getting so daring these b*****ds.

I'm interested in the above system too. Can you post details Grogie_B?

 

So what is the recommended action by police, when you catch burglars in your home? Help them load the stolen goods in their getaway car?

 

Seeing as a few of you have asked (and no forum-visiting thieves can find out where I live!!), I bought the alarm on the Internet, natch:

http://www.thebbgroup.co.uk/yalealarms/hsa3500.htm

I fully recommend it. I bought an extra PIR and a smoke detector, so I also get a call if my house is on fire [smiley=fireman.gif]

There is another one which looks quite good. It's a bit more expensive, but it supports X10, if you are into home automation:

Ummmm, maybe I am missing something but www.homebase.co.uk sell the same starter pack for £229........  : and are only down the road......  ???

EDIT: Even Yale reckon that starter pack should be £249 ??? http://www.yale.co.uk/alarmsframe.html

 

Doc,

This is even better news for us then. We can get this system for less money!!
