Got back from work today to find I had been burgled...my new flat screen monitor was taken, but luckily they left me with my pc and my new wireless router...now I dont even know what to do...dont feel like i can stay here any longer, and i just joined f2s..

sorry to hear about your misfortune? did you have contents insurance?
its the worse feeling and im sure you want to hang the burglar.

the_eclectic · 27-05-2005, 08:21 PM

ha..hanging will be an easier way out

called the police around 4.30, they finally came in around 8.30..such a swift service. yep, i've got insurance, just concerned this insurance company might come with their own excuse for not wanting to pay up. i dont see myself staying anyway, but that means i will have to pay another activation fee where next i move to..my luck

I am sorry to hear of your experience, but don't let the bar-steward drive you out m8! Electrify the desk area and fix up a web-cam and leave it running. You'll get £250 quid for a copy to tv alone!

Seriously tho', don't forget to check if he took any keys, and change the locks if you think he did. This will sometimes be paid for by your insurance company.

Good Luck, I hope you come out in front!

Burglers are the scum of the earth.

Please don't let them drive you out of your home or they'll have "won".

That's a real bummer. I remember getting burgled when I was 15. Lived with my mum and brother (parents were separated at the time). They took absolutely everything they could carry - clothes, small items, food. I only had the jeans I was wearing left.

It felt like being raped (which I never want to experience thank you). The place felt dirty. Someone else had taken our privacy. A part of our lives. Horrible feeling.

You have to do what you think will give you the best peace of mind. Another activation fee is what it would cost you. Small price I say.

My grandparents were burgled and they forgot to take all the importaint things like the £2K camera, TV, Diamond Rings etc... They took the broken Camcorder and a stack of Video tapes which had all the footage of me as a little baby

and the other tapes were just TV recordings. (BTW it was the late 80's this break in so not lots of DVD players, PC's etc...) But it is so upsettings what ever is taken.

Thanks guys..its the violation of privacy that really hurts. I've decided to stay, and the house do need some touch up, so I guess they've given a reason to do that.

donegal · 31-05-2005, 08:52 AM

I'd improve my security if I were staying. How did they get in?

Broke the back door...and none of my neigbours thought anything about the noise.. like i said, the door wasnt all dat strong, so they found it pretty easy.

If you are intent on staying, why not invite the local crime prevention officer round for a cuppa? Let them give the place the once over.

Before you do however switch off the p2p programmes on the computer downloading the latest movies and mp3's
