I agree but the other culprits are those folk who buy the stuff that's been nicked.
Without them there'd be no market for these thieves.
So blame everybody who's ever bought knocked off gear in their local, at a car boot sale, or from a mate of a mate at work.

All sadly true I'm afraid, but that just sums up todays society for me. The honest ones work hard to earn enough to buy their treasured possesions, only for unemployed, drug dealing scumbags to think it's ok to take it all. Like others, I have no sympathy for any burglar who gets caught in the act by the house holder and gets a good slap or worse. Lock the buggers up and throw the key away for me!
(The burglar's that is!)

one of the pleasures of being here even tho it does occur here its very unlikely to be of that scale; the most i have had nicked was 500 dirhams just under 100notes stolen from the maid and i felt crap about that but o'well hope its all insured.

after my own recent experience with dirty theiving b4st4rds, i hope yours ends as happy as mine did. I hope they catch an incurable genital desease.

Sympathies to you. I too have been a victim of scum when away on holiday some years ago. Thankfully my mother-in-law saved us the worse of it by cleaning everything up before our return: we were also spared the information when away so we could continue to enjoy our holiday in blissful ignorance.

The worse thing for me was the theft of our eight year old's piggy bank and the trashing of [ihis[/i bedroom.

That for me means they should expect no leniency if caught. There is no excuse for such malice IMO.

Unlucky old chap, their all to55ers

as they didnt nick the car I'd suggest they are druggies or even kids lookng to make some quick cash. i would suggest looking around the local cash convertors etc to see if your gear has turned up

My brother got done while he was at his in-laws - having Christmas lunch on frikkin' Christmas Day!!

What kind of lowlife goes out robbing on Christmas Day???

I hate em ,should lined up against a wall and summary excecuted

Feel for you mate it's crap when somebody robs you. I have had my car stolen in the past and somebody spent £1400 on my credit card. I work with a bloke who was bragging that he puts in fictitious home insurance claims and sells copy dvd's. Society has gone rotten from top to bottom these days.

just before last christmas I went into town with some former work colleagues, it was like a fairwell do for me,and it was that cold snowy friday evening.We went into that Varsity bar I had just used my blackberry beforehand and just shoved it in my bit top coat .When after I got warmed up after being in this very full bar I took the coat off felt in the pockets and my phone had gone.The scum bags must just stand in crowded places like that and wait for innocent honest mugs to walk in.

They will sit in cars/vans watching for folk to leave the house. They'll just pick random places and wait. I once left home and clocked a couple of shifty looking sods in a van over the road. Anyways I missed my bus and for some reason came home the back way so they wouldnt have seen me (I didnt do this on purpose). I was sat in the house and thats when I saw one looking over my fence (its about 6 foot tall). As he opened the front gate (again 6 foot tall) I was charging down the garden path towards him and he looked sheepish. Suffice to say they were arrested as I had their reg plate and a copper was only round the corner when it was reported. Turned out they had previous.

Other incidents I've known is that there can be links to neighbours. a lad I know was robbed and the folk that did it were tipped off by his neighbour who he thought he was mates with. Anyways he was talking to said neighbour and was telling him how he kept ringing a stolen mobiles number as it was still swiched on. He happened to try it whist with said neighbour and he could here the phone vibrating in the room. Not only were they stupid enough to leave it switched on the neighbour had stolen items in his house. Proof that there really are some bloody thick folk in the world

My house gets targeted quite a bit because of where my dad works. The van has been broken into several times and they parted with some metal. Worse is when the house gets broken into because that means I get my laptop nicked which has everything that I’ve wrote stored on them.

I’m sure it’s someone off of the estate because they always seem to know when we’re all out.

My dads boss gets broken into a lot more though

Big German Shepherd Dog for hire, will bark on demand.
Available by the hour, will take cake in remuneration.

Sorry to hear that Gav, it's crap when you get burgled.

We got done whilst we were away in Thailand on a family holiday. I don't know what was worse, coming home at midnight from Heathrow to find the place a mess and stuff missing, or the hike in the insurance premium that resulted from the completely honest claim. The renewal after the claim was 300% higher than previously, and even that was after we had originally been refused insurance, until my wife (who had worked in insurance) told them they were legally obliged to offer to insure us as if they decline no one else will offer either, meaning you can't get insured.

The 5hitheads that steal from you are bad enough without getting kicked in the nuts by the insurance industry for something that's not your fault...

Hard luck. Its time that electrical products were able to be immobilised which would cure the problem. Better still would be to set it to give an electric shock with a photo sent to your mobile.

An ex-workmate got a taxi to Leeds Bradford airport for a holiday. Then realised he'd forgotten the tickets so got another taxi back home. Discovered the first taxi driver robbing his house. Something to think about the next time you get a taxi to the airport.

The thieving little sods should be made to read every word of it!

Does that mean we should think about giving a bigger tip or none at all!

I always shout indoors when the taxi arrives "tara see yer in two weeks take care dont break out"

kinky

Yeah, I reckon if a nudie photo of wheels was stuck in the window, that should be enough of a deterrent to any burglar.

Be aware, the little scrots have an annoying habit of making a return visit 6/8 weeks after their last, coincidentaly just as you have spent the insurance cheque on nice shiny new things!

I hope their next sh!t is a cactus Gav!!!

On a serious point, when you contact the insurance company, I left my 17" Mac Book Pro at yours, and my new I-Pad2, if you can let the insurance company know of my loss, it would be appreciated!!
