If U Think There Is No Crime In Oz Think Again
As i type i am in an internet cafe.
Been here 5 weeks and 1 day , everything seemed to be going ok.
And then last sunday the house was broken into :scared:
we went to do some shopping on sunday at 12:30 , came back at 2:45 and they had broken in stole £1400 (didnt change it as the exchange rate was crap ! ) son's ipod, laptop and three of john's watches to say we were gobsmacked would be an understatement !!!!!!!!!!!

Oh dear. Not a good start eh.
I'm sure things will get a lot better. As your thread title suggests it can happen anywhere. I've had my house broken into aswell, so I've got every sympathy with you.
Keep your chin up
