Got home at 345pm today, and went to open back door but was already unlocked. WaLked in and saw glass everywhere. Was only when i turned around i saw the kitchen window had been put through. They used abrick which has gone through double glazing and then right through to the wall leaving a hole in the plasterboard. They found a key in the drawer to open back door.
Been through house and THEY took

GOLD BRACELET OF MINE
A RING OF MINE
A RING OF MISSUS
MISSUS WATCH
WHITE SAMSUNG 22" TV/PC MONITOR

2 NEW BABY BOTTLES????????????? (WHY I DONT KNOW)
*NOKIA 6500 CLASSIC PHONE (WAS POSTING TOMORROW AS SOLD IT)
NOKIA N74 PHONE
Luckily the pc i use had all cables cabe tied around under table so must have been too much hassle fo rem, and also my main tv had been moved but not taked due to other cables connected to a 2nd pc
Well pissed off and missus uset. Just waiting for Homeserve to come and board window up. Police cant find any prints as they used gloves.........

Aint gonna make any difference these days!! A burglary near me they had a ladder and ripped bell box off wall and smashed it then broke in and bashed the internal sounder!! Broad daylight at front of house too!!!!
Lets be honest how many people who hear an alarm going off for the few seconds it takes to bash it in would even go out to look???
I guess telephone connected alarms are the only option and even then the statistics show burglarys last 3-5 minutes and the police dont give a fuck so whats the chance of them catching the thieves in progress of the burglary??
Sad sign of the times i guess.

alarms do work if there proper ones. within 30 seconds of gaining entry they will be on there way out as bells will be ringing. What they gona steel in 30 seconds. If they can get to the bell box and foam it up without nabours seeing or use of a ladder then you have obviously put it in the wrong place. And also lets not forgot your much less likely to get burgled(sp) if you have an alarm fitted. They would rather have your nabour instead. CCTV is also worth fitting. As long as the DVR is hidden like in the loft or cupboard, should put them off being cameras but if not atleast you have some images of them or there cars.

not nice mate 
only time i remember having a burgalur in the house is when the old man was chasing him down the road in his underpants waving a massive industrial meat cleaer in his hand
ok, so not helpfull in the least, but, as said, sometiems it's better for you not to have been at home
one more thing, some peole tend to find that if they've been burguled once, the tealeaves tend to come round again and again
there was a fairly common occourance that tealeave would come to a house, rob it of everything elsectric and wait for the insurance ot cough up for new stuff, then rob the place again, and again
hopefully they won't target you again, but it's worth noting not to bring big boxes with "widescreen telly" or "home entrtainment system" laying outside the house

mate I know how you feel. I was burgled about 4 weeks ago and they took loads of stuff also. Me and a mate went to Cash Converters and got most of the stuff back, with the added bonus of getting the scrotes names and addresses. Needless to say one of them has just started 4 years inside and the other prat is to be sentenced next week.
What was worse was when I got home with the Mrs and nipper there was one of my kitchen knives on the floor on the front room and one on my bed. There was also a can of my CS spray on the window in the bathroom which I had at home. If the Mrs and nipper had walked in and confronted them then they could have both got a face of that.
Luckily I was Barclays insurance and they have been spot on. Already replaced most of stuff not recovered.

theres a irish bloke who lives in a close by area in a nice redrow built housing ascociation house,the sort where you could be a cunt and have a free house and your neighbour who paid full price may be a doctor or teacher etc.
he bought a car off me mate who has a garage and then comes round trying to sell him bent gear,then he goes down for a stretch for burgalry which was in the papers.
now he's out and stealing diesel or he was as he got caught by 3 BIG lads and has had the fucking shit kicked out of him and stamped and jumped on too.
i'm happy for him to look like quazimodo,the thevin tit
