My house was broken into last Friday
Discussion
Hi people
Ill apologise now for the long post but im proper gutted
Ive just got back from France from a really lovely weekend skiing in the Alps. I was called by my old dear on friday night to say that someone had broken into our house through the patio door.
The little ....... robbed my mums Wii and all the the kit that i brought her for Christmas, my sisters leaving bonus from her work as she is off to Oz for three months on saturday. Not only that, my mum is the secertary (sp) for the local ten pin bowling club on a wednesday night and all the money from that has gone!.
Then the ....er raided my room, all my fox fishing kit has gone! and here is the real .... boiler my FD3 KEYS!!!!!!!. Luckily its in the garage as its still awaiting the rebuild and various other parts and it does not start now. I was getting all geared up to start on it at the end of the month as a guy from one of the mazda forums has offered to have a rebuild kit shipped over from Pineapple racing. The engine management had been sorted and is waiting to get fitted to. I was so excited about getting on the road for the shows and track days, im just feeling deflated now
I know why he took the keys as it has a f.o.b on it and that does'nt work either, so now i need a new bloody ignition barrel and door handles with locks.
I honestly thought that it would never happen to us as the area where we live has been really quiet for the past three years since we moved in. All ill say just make sure everything is locked up and the alarms are on as you never know.
On a lighter note, my mum works at the Police station in Luton and they already know who it is as this lad is the local smack addict and is very well known to them, so i guess its a matter of time before he is caught!.
Sorry to have harped on but i feel better for it
Regards
Matt

You need to make your house harder to break into and then they will go somewhere else. We did after we got broken into.

Fat chance, unless the OP wants to brick up his windows and doors...Regards

Patio doors can all look very similar, but it is possible for one to be much, much harder to break into that the ones next door.
Simple things like removing any handles or lock assemblies on the outside can help enormously, and having a decent multi point locking system again will make big contributions towards forcing the scrotes to look elsewhere.

d jimmyed a screwdriver into the top of the frame and lifted the door up and pulled it out. It was all locked up as it has three locks, one on the handle and two bolts and the top and bottom of the door.The SOCO lady who came round only found one print in the entire house!. Im not sure what else we could of done short of deploying one of the sentry guns from Aliens!
