We just got robbed!
A heads up for all you guys.
Between 9:30 and 10:30 last night, a toe rag got in and lifted a bunch of computer stuff.
Now I couldn't give a rats about that but the fact he got in when my wife was in the bath and my son was asleep next door!! Doesn't look like he was too bright though 'cos SOCO is having a whale of a time taking prints not to mention he didn't take the charges for the laptops or PDA!.
But here's the warning, LOCK YOUR DOORS AND WINDOWS at night. Apparently hitting occupied houses is quite common 'cos there's normally a window or door open.
No reflection on Oz (although the police here are very quick to turn up, I didn't even expect a visit) just the law of averages. Both H and I have had minor hits in the UK.
Anyways "Don't have nightmares"

Argh, scary!
Glad you're all ok!
I'm not used to locking up, because for many years we lived in places where it wasn't necessary(like Bridgetown in the south, but even there is necessary to lock up now!)
Luckily Pascal locks everything up, even when we're home.

Re: We just got robbed!
So sorry to hear you were broken in to....
I was broken into quite a few years back, and I can, to a point, understand how you feel. Luckily for me, I wasnt home at the time....
Its not the posessions that they take.....for me it was that they invaded my space. They went through my drawers and cupboards...it was horrible. I moved out a week later. Couldnt even stand being in the house....
I hope they catch the buggars!!

Thanks for all the replies folks.
Hey it's just one of those things but it's gonna happen if you're not careful.
That includes leaving a bag on the shopping trolley or not taking the stereo face off in the car.
Never mind, we'll just forget about it. After all there's no point whinging about something we can't fix is there?
