burgled again
got burgled again. well not burgled, just my front door kicked in (i wasn't there)
i went back there to get something and couldn't get in. the door had these great big bolt drilled through the door. took me ages to get in.
nothing taken. there was even cash (notes) and alcohol in the front room, not touched.
no note or anything through the letter box.
gonna ring the police tomorrow, its a bit weird as last time them put a note through my letter box, and an emergency locksmith would do the same??
my landlords don't know anything about it either.
when i say kicked in, i mean the door had 3 steel bolts completly sheard off. (the kinda lock that has seperate bolts all the way up the door. its one of those heavy plastic doors)

yeah once i get a crime number. ;)
hmm, could have been.
but wouldn't you call the police and they'd get a locksmith, not bray the door in.
Sorry to hear that mate, must make you feel so uncomfortable at home. I take it you share the front door with other tenants? It's possible that your house was broken in by someone who then realised it wasn't the house they wanted to break in, i.e. they might have thought it was someone else's house, someone who owed some money, or who was inline for a kicking, someone who wasn't answering the door because of that, and when they broke in they realised it was the wrong house.
Or depending on your area, it might just have been a couple of angry drunks, having a laugh, though I doubt that from your description of the front door.
Anyway, sorry to hear about it, you don't have children living there with you, do you? If so, then you epecially should be trying to find somewhere else.
A cat burgler?
No sorry Mile this aint time for jokes. I'm just glad nothing was taken. Do you live on a busy main street or a side road.
There, fixed that fer ye.
Oh, and glad you're ok and not suffering from PTSD (or are you???)
...sorry, just been watching Red.
One of my neighbours cars had a window smashed late last year but nothing was stolen. Some people seem to think it's funny damaging other people's property.
that at least sould put an extra 180 quid in my pocket as spending money.
but i wont have my fortress of solitude anymore. :sad:
think i will use that money for a car (having saved it up a bit), that should give me some space and a place to sleep if things go tits up with her.
if you don't sound so sure, then don't do it.. is the simple answer.. 2 girlfriends in the past wanted me to move in or nearer. and well in both cases I'm glad I didn't.
Or perhaps mile's cunning plan to save a bit of dough on rent. ;)
Is that the Canadian GF you forgot you had!
Eh? Every bloke has one, it's called the toilet. (As long as there's a lock on the door).
"I'm a locksmith, I'm a locksmith"
There, fixed that for ye.
