Some of these people are so brazen. <br /><br />A colleague of mine was home during a weekday in a suburb where most of the homes are empty while their occupants are off working elsewhere. My friend was resting quietly at home when he heard whistling in the carport. Then he heard a whistle in reply from the other side of the house. Two young people (a male and female) were 'casing the place' and using bird calls to disguise their communications. My friend went to investigate and caught one at the back of the house and just as he was taking off, the other came around the other back corner, saw my friend then ran off as well. <br /><br />I am glad that neither you or senior cat were physically assaulted and hope that not too much was taken. It is a worry that thieves will try to rob homes even when the occupant is there. Police advise to keep doors locked even when you are home. It is so easy for opportunistic thieves to enter through one end of the house while the occupants are at the other. I am still trying to get this message through to one of my children who is notorious for not closing and locking doors. Maybe a read of your story will help to convince them of the necessity to be careful with security, even when one is at home.<br /><br />How awful for you to have had a break-in. I hope the police catch the thief.<br />Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-16033728469130394772017-03-30T05:11:33.973+10:302017-03-30T05:11:33.973+10:30I'm so sorry you both had to go through this. ...I'm so sorry you both had to go through this.

And personally, I don't think there is anything wrong with fully describing an intruder to the police. Ethnic origin is just as important as height and eye colour when trying to find a criminal. I'm glad things have turned out okay, and that you have such wonderful neighbours. I feel especially bad for your poor father. kristieinbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08620113214111945592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1663680578112260744.post-58388960610066378092017-03-29T22:43:31.158+10:302017-03-29T22:43:31.158+10:30OMG.
