What an absolutely shitty week we’ve had. We’ve got an 11 week old boy who came down with a virus and was rushed into A&E on Sunday. He’s been in hospital under observation since then. Last night was our first night all back together in the house and we were passed out in bed by 10pm.

Then I heard a loud clattering noise just after 2am and a few seconds later the alarm went off. By the time I got downstairs it was all over.

We’ve got some grainy CCTV footage and one eye witness. It was 3 lads in a white Fiesta ST. I don’t know if they knew about the bikes or if they came looking for car keys to add another ST to their collection.

Still waiting for the police to show up and then I have to figure out how to barricade a broken garage door.

I’d normally be super raging but I don’t even have the energy. We’re insured and I just hope they don’t come back. I also hope they die in a house fire but I’ll settle for never having my home invaded again.

I’m gutted about the Geometron. I’ve had it 4 years and I was hoping to get at least another 4 out of it.

CSI have just left the scene. He got some very clear pictures of some surprisingly complete finger prints. There’s loads of hand prints all along the bottom edge where they’ve pried it open and lifted it.

You’d think lesson number one of burglar school would be ‘always wear gloves’ and lesson number two would be ‘always, always wear gloves’.

There’s loads of cameras in the street so just hoping someone has a more clear picture of the car.

I’ve been awake since it happened and I’m absolutely shattered. Loads of people on Facebook have shared the pictures locally so thanks if you’re on here.

Apparently 3 lads in a white car have been on a bit of a rampage last night. Loads of reports of cars being messed with. I’m convinced they came for our car because no one knows the bikes are there. I think they were startled by the alarm the bikes were a bonus.

No not a peep. Just grainy CCTV footage of the action taking place. It’s a bit nerve wracking to watch 5 blokes walking towards your house with the intention of coming inside and doing God knows what. So glad the alarm went off.

But, I’ve still got a bright orange Fiesta ST on the drive and now they know I’ve got a YZ125 in the garage so I feel like they’re guaranteed to come back for another try.

I’m not enjoying it but the effect it’s had on the Mrs is pretty depressing to see. She was crying at bed time yesterday and she’s peeping out the windows at every sound.
