It doesnt surprise me. We got done about a few weeks ago - we're based in an upper floor flat just off London Road. Never been burgled before ever and never want to again - such a nasty experience.

Basically we had scaffolding up for a week and got burgled the one night we were out. This happened to someone else further on down the road I heard who also had scaffolding up. The scaffolding wasnt visible from the front and you wouldnt know it was even there unless you got the tip off. Ive heard another similar incidence recently.

Its pretty clear that there are some inside jobs going on at the momment - so just a word of warning to people, if you currently have any scaffolding up at the momment - be extra vigilent. I would go as far to say - dont even leave your home while its up where possible because these guys are proffesional thieves - who operate in business like fashion.
