Yes my sympathies as well. We were burgled back in June when three 'lads' kicked our front door open. Luckily they were caught and prosecuted. They pleaded guilty and are now doing some no doubt helpful 'community service'.
Burglary seems to have become much more prevelant in this area recently (see the other threads) - to the point where our community police representative visited us a few weeks ago to warn us to be vigilant.
