I may have missed it, but how did they get in? Unlocked door?
Not really sure honey at the moment.
Bummer - that kind of thing is so unsettling - it is not just the theft it is violation of personal space.
I am so sorry to hear about this. It is a total violation. It can make one feel angry, invaded and vulnerable all at the same time
My sympathies over your losses, especially your coat, CG (I'll bet you looked a billion in it).
You might purchase an alarm dog; they often make more noise than wine bottles.
A dog, augmented by a used chebus sock hanging from every door/window, ought to do the trick. :whistling
Yeah, punch your cat on the snout for being pish.Quote:

dude getting robbed sucks someone had to see something no one comes into a house with no one seeing you have to ask everyone and to top it off its probably a neighbor
im up for sending a 20 spot if you have paypal
What fecking cretins! Although it's sickening that they were in your space, thank gawd nothing happened to either of you. Do you think it was someone you know or just a random chancer?
My Grandma keeps a baseball bat next to her bed just incase anyone breaks in, even though she doesn't have the strength to pick it up. Makes me laugh, but at least she feels a bit safer.
Don't suppose you are a size 12 CG? I just got a new brown fake fur jacket cos it didn't fit me cousin, and it looks stupid on me. :unsure:
She's also got a red bodywarmer going spare:pinch:
That's in the Oxfam bag, along with a digi-box. :pinch:
:o
All of you are lovely, and thank you for your kind words and offers. We're just chalking it all up to experience, putting some more security measures in place, getting bloody house insurance, and saving to replace what we lost.
@lilmiss, cheers chick, I bet it's lovely, unfortunately my boobs increase the sizeage somewhat. Makes finding frocks a bit difficult!
@Bo. What's wrong with a red bodywarmer you nazi???
Nothing at all, I keep telling her wear it. Ungrateful coo got it for her birthday off her gran or someone and she refused to even try it on.Quote:

I may burn it for warmth instead.

Bo may you be damned for requesting it even touches her skin.
Would a Digi-box help your troubles at all, CG? :pinch:
Thanks for the offer hon but that's one thing they left!Quote:

I've rounded up a crew of Canadian thugs, a case of Molson, and me trusty dog Molly (we are heading to the airport now).
Justice will be served...soon.
-bd :01:
Mon the Canadians.
Wow, really sorry to hear what all happened. And with you at home too. I've been there, and like someone said before, as hard as it might be, you have to just fix up some security thing, so that the person/people that took your stuff don't also make off with your sense of comfort and security in your own home. Besides losing material objects, its a violaion of your personal space, so you have to take that back. I know it wont replace things, but remember that neither of you were hurt, which is a blessing.
On another note, do consider getting a dog. If that's something you want and have time for. And keep in mind it needn't be a giant beast of a dog.... really any that you want would help, in that they are more alert, and are sure to alert you as well. I have a chihuahua, which at seven pounds can hardly do damage to a newspaper, let alone a burglar.... but he does bark when someone knocks or tries to get in the door at all... and that alone could be enough to deter someone from entering, or at least alert you that there is someone there.
Again, sorry to hear about what all happened, but im glad to hear you both are safe and uninjured.
dogs do have a sixth sense.

We have Canadian thugs!?!?!
I bet they are all brandishing hockey sticks. I suggest, in order to go incognito, have them pull their toques down over their face, just remind them to cut eye holes out or else they'll be bumping into each other!!!
Just remember...Don't piss off the Canadians. We can become very rude when pushed!
i agree, but no one pushes you, your just rude.Quote:

Thanks for everybody's kind words. :)
It is actually quite easy to change a lock....

For a poet.
Is it anything like changing a light bulb? Can't do that either. :(Quote:
