We got burgled day before yesterday ...
They (although I think it was 1 bloke), went round the back of the house and Jemmied a window with a screwdriver.
We had window locks on all the downstairs windows, and they just popped off
.
They didn't get a lot, in fact I think we were rather lucky, but still it's not nice to think of someone being in your house uninvited.
We've had the Police round, and the Scenes of Crime Officers. This was the other thing that suprised me .... They can only get fingerprints from surfaces that are smooth and hard ... mirrors, wood, glass, etc ..
We had 2 Jewellry boxes stolen, we found one of them dumped, but no fingerprints because the surface is slightly mottled.
The house is returning back to normal now ... extra security has been added, but I was still shocked that the normal window locks are so woefully inadequate.
Anyone else got any useful advice for Home security.
