Eastern European burglars have a thing for doing Asian areas - especially the Romanians - they love that high carat gold.

I don't have to worry about this sort of thing because even though I have loads worth stealing, such is my reputation as a hard nut that nobody would dare.

I'd love someone to set something up like an electric shock thing that would shock the shit out these cunts so much that it did lasting damage to them. Cowardly cunts who burgle and mug people.

It's mainly Eastern Europeans doing it now, with the odd crack head as you'll always get.
Police can't do a fucking thing, elderly couple who live nearby got done and come home to it happening, police said they pretty much know who done it (Eastern European) however the old couple would've had to go through months of legal process, go to court and they probably wouldn't go away for it anyway, at their age it wasn't worth it.
Still, we desperately need them because they do all the shit jobs our kids won't do.

Agreed yogib, have received some very kind offers from people on here.
Strangely, I’m struggling to maintain composure a lot more today. Think yesterday was easier as we were just getting on with clearing up. Today back in the office, I’m dwelling on it a lot more and finding that quite hard to deal with

My parents were burgled during the day a few years ago. My dad was doing some gardening and my mum in the lounge. It was 3 eastern europeans , 1 waited in a car, 1 pinned my mum down while the 3rd one went to the bedroom. Fortunately my mum wasn't hurt but clearly was shaken. She bit the hand of the scum who pinned her down the screams of the guy she bit scared off the guy upstairs and they didn't get anything.
The police managed to get DNA from the blood she drew from biting the scumbag's hand and they managed to catch him.
I posted on here about at the time as I was living in Dubai at the time- the response I got from people on here was fantastic, I can't remember who it was but someone offered to have their wife come and stay with my mum during the day, shows that there are some decent people on here.

What really gets me is that if you live in a council property, you are not allowed to put up barbed or razor wire for H&S reasons. You’re not even allowed to have a fish pond under the wall.
“Whose health and safety?” you may ask. The burglars’ of course.
I would loved to have been in on the meeting where that decision was made, just to ask the obvious question: “So fucking what?”

I can only echo the sentiments here.
My parents were burgled and my mum lost a relatively worthless locket which belonged to her mum - they had much else taken but that hurt her. She never quite got over the thought of them in her house - while they slept. "what right do they think they have ...?" I recall her saying.
It was a truly horrible experience and they kick our beloved dog who was found unable to walk on the floor of the garage - he lived for a while longer but the internal bleeding got the better of him.
The only comfort we took is that my dad (who was regularly out of bed in the night) didn't disturb them.
They are all scum

Sorry to read all these stories, it truley is a horrible time.
Happened to me a few years ago, they smashed open the bathroom window (i lived right next to the train tracks, so easy to hide the noise) and foolishly didnt have a back sensor light. They probably got startled as they only went in the bedroom, took an old iphone, a half decent watch, but more importantly the Mrs' late mums jewelry, which obviously you cant get back. They didnt touch any other rooms, only went straight the bedroom. Bare in mind, it happened between 5-8pm - as when i got home, i noticed glass on the bathroom floor - then you just know.
I stayed awake for a few days with a bat waiting for them to return... they obviously never did.
The police although helpful, pretty much cant do anything.
My next door neighbour also had what was detailed below happen to him, they must of went round, just pressing handles down, this fella didnt lock his front door, they jimmied it open (and while he slept in his bedroom ground floor flat) - took his wallet, his car keys and his fags, then drove his car off the drive. He didnt know until the next day.
Let me say that anyone who steals from houses ARE ABSOLUTE SCUM OF THE EARTH. Right up there with nonses for me. Jail sentences need to be much much tougher on anyone who steels from peoples homes. But they wont, and just like the pricks on mopeds, the feds dont really care, but if you dare touch the criminal, you can expect a tougher sentence than them.

Re: Been burgled
If you live in a house get a dog - a small stroppy noisy one like a russell terrier type. Burglars will never take their chances with leaving dna evidence, too many other opportunities to be had.
... and advertsie the fact... put up a `A Dog Snarling tooth laden hound lives here' sign..

I was burgled 5.27am into last New Years Day.
Said goodbye to wife at 5am as she went on her shift and was waiting for her text to say she had arrived okay which I expected around 5.35.
As I waited went upstairs with the mobile, laid on the bed and started to doze off. Was woken by soft lighting coming up the stairwell. Sat up and thought my son had popped downstairs to get a drink or whatever and was using his mobile phone light and I called out alright son.
A bit dozy but heard someone say "quick" and then scuttling downstairs. Got up and checked my sons door which was still closed to, then realised I had burglars.
Did not know what I was faced with so I ran downstairs shouting the loudest deep come here you fucking cunts as loud as you could imagine.
When I got downstairs they had shut the inside door, but left the front door open. As I reached that doors slammed and a black range rover they had stolen drove past in front of me. They had stolen my wallet with £50 in with cards, but more importantly to me was a picture of my wife I had kept for 32 years when I met her.
In that time I said goodbye to my wife at 5am, I stupidly did not lock the door again thinking it was morning. Using screwdrivers, it was easy for them to prize the door open. In that very short time they were in the area, they had burgled three near me and the police said I had probably saved a few neighbours by chasing them away.
The burglars were going to all doors and checking to see if the handles went down. They knew then they weren't locked and entered easily so take that as a learning to lock the door, at all times!
Now my life before bedtime is preparation, preparation, preparation. I now have a lump of wood behind the door and sort of barricade us in. It's a bit of insurance and a hurdle if someone tries it again. Let us say if they do get in, they won't leave the house next time.
If only I had locked that front door after my wife left for work I would not be typing this now.
The burglars got caught, a local man and a woman who went on a spree to feed their drug habit. Here's a link to the sentencing. She got a few years as well, though spending six months inside already and a sentence means half of that won't be too long now.

Sorry to hear Joe. Used to be in the security business for a couple of decades, so heard many stories.
People having their flat door and frame double steel lined with non-returnable screws and fitted with high security deadlocks and hinge bolts top and bottom. Some had metal grilles and bars fitted to all windows, don't know how they would have got out in a fire?
As said Alarm bell boxes used to be smashed off the wall and wire cut, the internal bell is triggered but this is knocked out after breaking in. So the Alarm companies designed the SCB self activating bell which had its own power supply battery with very long screws to a micro switch which triggered when slightly undone. Some burglars used to bring a ladder scale it and try to unscrew the lid but it would go off so cut the wire thinking that would be it, but it would keep ringing, ended up digging a hole and trying to bury the bell in the back garden.
Bells or Sirens should be fitted as high up as possible wired through the loft eaves or on the apex of any house. CCTV is getting better all the time. Some are wireless with their own SD card for recording and remote viewing which does away with bulky DVR's.
