Scum of the earth. Should waive their human rights the minute they go inside somebody else's house.
I leave our lounge window open all night, every night when it's warm.I left my front window open the other night, nothing happened though thankfully but always feel a bit safer with dogs.
I get OCD about checking all the doors and windows, it's mainly to stop the dog from escaping rather than anybody getting in.
Making sure windows are shut because of people getting in are common sense, it shouldn't be and people should be able to just leave them open all night but sadly can't in this day and age.
Have heard more about it during the heatwave as people have been too trusting and just go out thinking it will be OK not knowing which little rats will be in to take all of their stuff.

We do have blinds though and it is only a horizontal top window.

Disgusting crime to break into someone's house. The fear lasts well after the criminal has gone in what should be a safe space.
However, let's not do the pearl clutching, burglary is at an all time low: Overview of burglary and other household theft - Office for National Statistics
What's increased is your ability to know about it thanks to 24/7 media and things like Facebook.
As they used to say on Crime watch: Dont have nightmares.
some good points though I wonder how many go unreported?
Oh, yeah, I remember that. Famous old story. They took them out of the wrappers, all shoved them up their arses, put them back in the wrappers again and then threw them into our end.remember years ago playing at Hillsborough, (may have been the cup quarter final), where they threw hundreds of them into our end. I'd be lying if I said i didn't indulge.
Best lock it first, mind.I've had 2 break ins in the last 10 months. I'm not bothered about what was stolen, it can be replaced. It's the feeling that someone has been in and gone through all your stuff.
First time the police were excellence, they sent forensics within an hour, then I had a follow to do a statement about 3 hours after that. Second time they didn't even bother sending anyone round. The Insurance (Direct Line) have been brilliant both times, but I'm sure I'll get hammered in my renewals. I'm seriously considering having CCTV installed.
A family moved in down the road about 15 months ago, never had a problem at all before, police are on the street at least twice a week now, everyone seems to be getting broken into, none of the family work so they know when everyone else is coming and going, I'm not saying it's them but it's definitely them (I'd put my house on it).
Scary shit, where is that JHF?a worrying rise in masked gangs smashing their way into homes with hammers while people are in & threatening them for car keys, jewellery & cash up here........its happened to 3 families I know in the last 12 months..........utter fucking scum.
Another burglary on my round last night, just took the owners car keys and sped off with their car.a worrying rise in masked gangs smashing their way into homes with hammers while people are in & threatening them for car keys, jewellery & cash up here........its happened to 3 families I know in the last 12 months..........utter fucking scum.

They said it was dealt with over the phone, no police came out.

Sums up the problem there. Been loads of burglaries and car thefts round by me but you never see the police. Members of the public have even caught people red handed on two occasions, restrained them and called the police for someone to come out and arrest them to be told nobody was available.They said it was dealt with over the phone, no police came out.
Should be calling an ambulance not police !Sums up the problem there. Been loads of burglaries and car thefts round by me but you never see the police.

Wouldn't disagree with that but you know there police would be there in no time then.Should be calling an ambulance not police !

You should have stared at him and said "Go ahead, make my day!".I've twice been broken into through top windows you wouldn't think a cat could climb through. Interrupted the burglar on the second occasion, a kid of about fourteen. Rather than run off when he saw me he looked as if he was going to take me on, till he saw the heavy object I was holding in my hand.

Why would a higher percentage of crimes go unreported than before? Should be pretty constant surely?
I think because of the types of house entry I'm on about, ( through open doors and windows). People know the insurance won't pay out so aren't reporting them if they haven't lost too much.Why would a higher percentage of crimes go unreported than before? Should be pretty constant surely?
