Someone just tried breaking into my apartment. Ever so slightly shook up at the moment.


How are you feeling today after that nasty experience?

Feeling much better today thanks :)

Rather foolishly perhaps, I'm thinking of going away for a couple of days. Somewhere quiet, give me chance to calm down properly etc.

Quite a nice thought when you consider what we're all doing

I can understand that Mallosa it must be dreadful to find some one broke into your home and looked through your things :shock: , we have just had some new safety locks fitted and some gadgets on the back windows even though thwy have locks, just thought it would make it a bit harder for them.

Oh goodness Brickwalls what a shock! :shock:
I'd be so scared.
Can understand you wanting to go away and relax but make sure your home is well watched!
I hope you soon feel better.

I'm terrible for not locking up, even leaving doors wide open all night!
The kids check now that its all locked. :roll:

Just take care of yourself.

That is worse than ever Mallosa , to think they were roaming round your house while you were asleep, it could have been worse if you had woke up and they had harmed you. :shock:

Rob! :shock:
:lol: Sorry Mally!

Most dreadful thing anyone going through your things I would imagine.

Not had our home broken into but had a few cars stollen or damaged especially when I worked on the district!
The baby seat even my coat was stollen :? Insurance didnt want to know because it was so often! :o
One time I was jumped on while waiting/watching for another nurse to come out of a place. I was so scared couldnt remember my number on the walky talky!

Terrible!
Jo :)

I had my car broken into when I worked as a radiographer in the UK, the police said they knew who it was, kids from a local home - they coudn't prove it though (even though they took bits away for fingerprinting).
They're building a new multistorey carpark where I work now - I'm not going to park the car there when I'm working evenings - I wont feel safe. I recon all the local car thíefs will make a beeline.
I think we should reintroduce transportation for people who can't keep respect other peoples property. I mean we work hard for the things we have, it's not just a free for all.
In Denmark we now have a law that fines people who buy stolen goods up to about £10,000. I hope they inforce it, and more importantly are seen to do so.
Thiefs are just scum.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
