I was burgled a couple of years back, and my house was ransacked while I was away on holiday. The police had forensics come around, but the sneaky b****rs used gloves and only took what they could carry.
They gave me a number of a crime prevention officer who came around and offered some good advice on what I could do to secure my property better.
About a week later they did however link my case to another one and made an arrest. The chappie was a known crim so, you would be happy to hear brian, that they locked him up.
The victim support officer who rang me up to tell me was very pleased with himself when he contacted me as he said that they rarely get to report good news.
