Evening all. Mams house has had an attempted break-in today! Burglar alarm bell box tore off house etc... Looking at CCTV for her but no idea where to start?? Ive been told from a neighbour that there is someone on here who does this stuff for a living too??

All advice welcome!! Got the house like fort knocks as much as possible but want to nail that ba5tards (through the skull if I had my way!!) Next time.

Ta in advance

Thanks for the replies guys!! Police have been today (not much use from what I was told...). Alarm being repaired today too so thats a bonus!

House may not be fort knocks svs but I have done what I can to make the house and outside space as secure as possible!!

Will look into your recommendations!!

Hi All.

Been away to Cadwell (4 year memorial for dad and a trackday on the same day at the place his ashes are scattered at not to be missed!!!). Teaching sister how to drive fast but safe, she certainly got better throughout the day!

Anyway, not had time to read in full the replies but want to thank everyone loads for their input!! Mam is fine, been with me all weekend (stayed at ours last night too). There were some tall bushes at the front, they went friday so the front of the house is now fully visible. Alarm fixed and security elsewhere in process of being 'beefed up'. Will read the links re fundamentals today.

Police reckon they wont come back for a while as too much damage for us not to be aware! All neighbours in the estate are aware and are being far more vigilant now. Sadly we get a lot of 'drive by's' in the street - downside of being in one of the more desirable areas I guess... We are going to chat to local 101 police regarding what security we can do too.

Hopefully this is the wakeup call we maybe needed and there wont be any more trouble!! Fingers crossed...
