fenboy Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 My daughter and her partner have worked their socks off to buy their first home and to pay for everything that goes with it . They have got home from work tonight to find they have been burgled . Some low life has smashed the locks on two doors to gain entry and turned the place over , every draw and every cupboard has been emptied looking for valuables . They have been fortunate in that not too much has been taken , so far all we know is gone is a PS4 a laptop and an Ipad along with a small amount of jewellery. Far harder for her to bare is the fact someone has violated her space and the worry they may do the same again . ******* scumbags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 That stinks. My elderly parents got done a couple of years back - grandparents wedding rings gone, the lot. They live like they are in a prison now it has frightened them so badly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

la bala Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Know how you feel mate, i walk my sons dog every day. About five years ago i turned up to find the front door stuffed in. Like you say mate apart from what you lose, its the fact that them low life scumbags have been everywhere and had there filthy gloved hands on everything. On a bit lighter note, the first thing my son said when i phoned him was, is Meg ok. She was in her kennel but doing her nut. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benthejockey Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Buy her a Doberman puppy. In 12months any burglar that was stupid enough to take a chance would regret their decision. They don't use them as police dogs because they won't let go until THEY want to! My gran had one when I was a baby...apparently one day she lay by my cot and wouldn't let my uncle pick me out of the cot until my mum and gran came home. And he'd known her 8 years at this point.

Big Al Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Problem is, even inside your house they have thier human rights. Very sorry to hear that fenboy. Am I right in thinking that is a European thing? If so, it gives us another reason for getting out. Edited April 12, 2016 by Big Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benthejockey Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Let them tell you their human rights with a big dog hanging off their ****. Not quite a man trap though. Bloody Europe 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digger Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Back on topic. For some reason it hits women harder than men. For blokes it's anger then resignation. For women it's despair and fear plus revulsion that their space has been invaded. I hope your daughter can move on from this and stay in her first home happily 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortune Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 This is where cctv cameras come into the frame. OK they cant stop the action but they can be set to alert you by link to your phone, tablet or computer so that you are aware that something is going on and record the intruder doing what they are doing. If you've got them inside, they can alert you to any movement or event and you can see who it is and maybe call someone. If there is a dog in the house they can be blanked out at low level so that Muttley doesn't keep triggering an event. And again they can be set to warn you that someone is outside the door or poking about. They are also very useful to see who is knocking at the door such as unwanted religious pest and other door to door types. We don't mind if they stand outside the door for a while before they move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you have any app on your laptop or ipad that will send you a location or picture when someone goes online? There is a "find my Ipad " app installed but as yet it's not been activated . They also left something behind that may well have a print or part of a print on it , forensics are going tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had the lead stolen from the roof one night at work. The police came and identified who it was within 2 minutes as they left a bag on the roof that had a library ticket in it Darwin rules Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I think when they break in when people are in or if caught in the home they should have no rights at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozzy518 Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 The law has recently changed by a ruling by the High Court following an incident whereby a householder got an intruder in a stranglehold leaving him in a permanently vegetative state. The ruling in favour of the householder provides the use of disproportionate force, whereby formerly the law only allowed reasonable force. The caveat being that the use of the disproportionate force must be believed by the householder at the time to be necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey, I wasn't aware of that, should make for some interesting incidents in the future if "having a go back" is now allowed following that ruling.
