as tempting as it is to recite the plot of home alone as some kind of comical warning, this is a rare serious post from me.
on friday night my work was broken into, by what appears to be opportunistic thieves. the TV, dvd player, nintendo wii, patients christmas presents and some presents a patient had bought for his family were all stolen. also one of the company vehicles which was driven away and burnt out apparently 
the property in question is a large residence on the bath road very very near to Reading town centre (less than half a mile away from the police station FFS).
so yeah, if you're based in Reading... have a think about your security, if you're not its still worth thinking about!
