Burgled while we were at home

How horrid for you and so unsettling for you both! I am so sorry to hear this has happened. The one good thing is that you and DH have not been physically harmed. However, I appreciate that it will take a while for you to feel relaxed in your home.

I hope all the aftermath with insurance claims, etc goes smoothly and you are able to move on. Perhaps it would be worth asking someone from the police to review your security.

Wishing you brighter days ahead. ?☀️?

lincolnimp How dreadful, . We have had several break-ins over the years, but never when we were in the house, that to me would be the worst of all

Very sorry to hear this. Good though that neither of you disturbed him as he may have caused physical injury. It must be very unsettling to put it mildly. Take care.

So dreadfully sorry for you.
Must be a shake you up and make you pretty angry too.

lincolnlimp what a horrible experience, opportunistic towrag(s). You must have been shaken up, I really hope your keepsakes and jewellery turn up, hopefully it’s been dumped locally and will be found. Just a thought, if it’s bin day, check yours and neighbours bins. Hoping today is a gentle day for you both.

How awful.

I tend to lock my door at all times, even when in the kitchen in daytime. Also check it a few times in the evening, although I know it’s locked!

I do hope you get your things back.

I had a similar experience in March 2006. I was in bed, very early, about 7.30, looking at my laptop.. I heard noises, but it was a very noisy windy night so there were quite a lot of unusual sounds. I got up and looked around, could see nothing amiss. Went downstairs and looked round, still nothing. Went back upstairs, the laptop had gone and cash from my handbag. The window in the spare room had been forced. No sign, thank heavens, of the burglar. I dressed hastily and went over the road to a neighbour who phoned the police.

It was very, very scary. The police were very nice, though nobody was caught. Extraordinarily, the burglar ignored my credit cards which were in my handbag with the cash they took. Nothing else was taken, so I was lucky really.

Oh that is absolutely dreadful.
Especially that they have taken such personal stuff. The utter scumbag.
I really hope that you and your husband are coping okay.
It must be such an awful, awful shock.
I really hope that you get your jewellery and other things back

How horrible and scary! I cant begin to imagine.

I hope that the police find the sentimental items dumped somewhere and return them to you.
