Tis the season to be burgled

[Sanke]

Hi all
Had a card through the door yesterday from the Police saying that a house near to us has been burgled. They advised that this is the busy period for all those lovely people to help themselves to our hard earned things.

Just thought I would put a quick post up to remind people to check their own security but also ask what the forum would advise to make our homes more secure. Cant really stop them only slow them down

Be safe & secure

No need to worry here, we have a huge German Shepherd. The burglars don't know he's a big softie.

I found a Rottweiler a good deterrent.

The top tip I think is to hide your valuables, and remove temptation from the glare of the nobs who wana steal.

burglar deterrents, in no particular order. 1, shotgun. 2. live cables dangling. 3. rotties. 4. baseball bat. 5, alarm system & CCTV. 6. mother-in -law.

If the standard of the scumbags we get in the papers round here is anything to go by I doubt they'll be able to turn a PC on, let alone find this forum mate. I'd put money on most of them being unable to find their backsides with both hands and a hunting dog

Our dog likes to snap at the postmans hand as hes pushing the post through failing that she will eat whatever he pushes through.....Hence the reason had to buy a ouside postbox today

Where my mother lived there was a guy who was in and out of jail, when he was in there were no burglaries, when he was out there were loads. Shortly after she died her house got done over nothing of any money value went I had my guitars there and they wern't touched but stuff with massive sentimental value got taken like my dad's RAF service medal.
A mate of mine who was a cop told me they knew it was him but didn't have enough to lock him up, he also told me they might not look into it too much if he "had an accident" which funnily enough is exactly what happened
