We got burgled just before new year, and then a month later at the same time (1830) on the same night (thursday) a Strange youth came knocking and asked for directions to a street that is about a mile away. Since then we quite often wake up to find the window boxes removed from our window sills and placed on the ground. This morning the front window box was off the sill and the wheely bin was up against the back door, as if someone has been trying to get through the window above the back door! Police are involved and have been good, coming round finger printing etc, but its obvious that who ever broke in last time is really keen to get in! We hide all our valuables, keep all doors locked etc but is there anything else we can do? I don't want to spend a lot of money as we are moving out asap (just waiting on a completion date)!
We've got original sash windows (bolted shut from the inside), following a previous break in, the area around the cat flap is reinforced with batons and some very thick wood, the gate is padlocked, wedged with wood and tied shut with rope, and my bombers are kept warm and ready for action! Any other suggestions?
We had an old alarm we didn't use, but now have a all singing and dancing new one.
he did do something odd once, a friend was in the house and I went out to get a pint of milk. Apparently he growled if the friend tried to get out of the chair. Happy for him to sit there and was fine when I got back. What a top dog he was.
