Sha Bu Le Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Came down stairs at 6 this a.m. to find this. Police have been took statements looked around and knocked on a few neighbours doors. Waiting for soco and the burglary team to arrive. Whoever did it I sincerely hope he gets green willy rot. At least they did not gain entry. Edited May 17, 2016 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mungler Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Someone tried to break into your house by using a magnifying glass to burn the plastic and mastic off an external UVPC door? Weird one eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpringDon Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 That's not very nice to find first thing in the morning. Apologies for my ignorance (as a non burglar) but what was the objective: to melt the lock out or expose enough of the glass unit so it could levered out? Seems like it would be a bit noisy.

Also as a non toe rag I think the aim was to remove enough plastic to take the window out. Young girl who works in the local off door was done a while back.They took a pane of glass out and dropped it, she never heard a thing.

malkiserow Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 With more and more glazing beads on the inside (far more secure), they need a way of getting the glass out and staying quiet from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rovercoupe Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Was the key in the door on the other side? Tbh i dont see the point when you can just do the lock in without making too much noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sha Bu Le Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thanks for all of your comments fellas but apologies to Burnley Dave. Must say however Mrs SBL is very shook up, we have dug the timer switches out and will set a couple on table lamps to go off at differing intervals through the night.

Sha Bu Le Posted May 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) Big dog may be the answer but not a small yappy dog. When we had our Tammy this would not have happened. She was very protective of the house and gipsies hated her. Yet we had a complaint re a "savage dog" (ours) RSPCarp arrived. Outlined their case, we had a neighbour In at the time who had a yorkie. Wife gave it a chew stick then asked someone to take it off it, chaos. Yorkie going daft ("its mine its mine etc) Wifey gave Tammy a chew stick and while it was still inn Tammy's mouth she knelt down and with her own mouth took the chew stick off Tammy. RSPCA was then told to do one. Edited May 17, 2016 by Sha Bu Le Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyhoos when soco arrived yesterday they got a decent finger print out of the soot on the glass. Hopefully the perp will be on file and will get lifted.

kent Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 Don't think you need time in prison, just google 'snapping, bumping lock double glazed door. That is one route but anti bump euro cylinders are a common replacement There are four or five common ways but it's not my intention to teach them After owning a double glazing and conservatory firm I saw them all but never a successful burn in I am sure if you tried hard enough like...

kent Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 If anyone wants to change their cylinder btw it's one screw generally All good locksmiths or trade fittings firms can supply keyed alike or anti bump cylinders A note Panic locks are not insurance compatible at present but there are moves about to make them compulsory as they're in many countries for fire escape Leaving the key in the door inside likewise no cover on insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich1984 Posted May 18, 2016 Report Share Posted May 18, 2016 After owning a double glazing and conservatory firm I saw them all but never a successful burn in Ive boarded up loads years ago before the panels were "reinforced" with mdf, when it was just plastic and foam they were a thieves dream, they used to run a blow lamp round them in no time and get in. They are harder to burn through now with even the minimum 4mm mdf inbetween the leaves. I do see lots of "interesting" ways that the scrotes apply to gain entry.

Sha Bu Le Posted May 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Had a door company around yesterday insurance company appointed. Need a new door (obviously) and a new frame as they damaged that with a tool of some kind. Insurance will cover the bulk of the cost but it will cost us £250 excess. Still waiting for CID to come.
