Hiya everyone,

Got a phone call Monday afternoon about 4.30pm to say that my house had been burgled, after a hasty taxi ride home (35 mins) got home to discover my back kitchen window caved in (With a brick) they had then kicked open our rear door's (French/patio) and made off with about 15,000 pound's worth of item's, they've wrecked our kitchen & quite frankly I don't really want to live there anymore. The house is only 3 month's old has a burglar alarm fitted (Straight to the police station) has double glazed window's & doors but the Scum still were able to gain access and to rub salt into the wound stayed in the house while the alarm was going off! took most of our property TV watches etc, Mrs boggy can't even bring herself to leave the house as she's worried they might come back. I hope I don't find out who done it

I can't believe that it took the Police 3 and a half hours to attend ! What a complete Joke !

It must be one of the worst feelings ever to think that someone has been in your house under thse circumstances.

I dont live too far away from you and am not at work today so if there is anything you need me to do please contact me. ( I have mailed you my phone number)

Mrs B if you just want to chat dont hesitate to ring me.

very sad - happened to us about 3 years ago, luckily not pros, but druggies so they only took what they could sell down the pub - watches, DVDs, jewelry etc ...still not very nice and makes you paranoid about it for a long time after.

one of the worse things is you try and list everything they took for insurance etc...then 6 months or a year later you are looking for something and cant find it...then realise it was stolen too

...Police took 4 hours to get to me that day...the Detective turned up with his kit...explained he was so busy he could barely cope - he covered a huge area and it was his 7th burglary that day...very nice guy, did a good job...caught the scrotes that did it as left left prints everywhere...turned out they were out from jail on parole for over 60 burglaries ...they then got 6 months reduced to 3 months for doing another 10 whilst they were out....unbelieveable...why dont they chop of their hands or something........

A colleague called the police a few weeks ago to say that a few thugs were ransacking his garage and shed. He was told there was noone to send out. He phoned 15 min later to say they were still there and was told the same thing.

He phoned 5 min later and told them he thought one of the thugs had a gun. 3 min and 6 police cars arrived and arrested the blokes. The cop went to my colleague and berated him saying - "you said they had a gun"

He politely reminded the officer that he had been told twice there was noone to send out to his house, yet there were now six vehicles there.

Our justice system has lost its way and things will only get worse. Sorry to hear about your experience boggy. Good luck in getting it sorted with the least hassle. Glad you are both OK.

Sory to hear that boggy...not a good thing and that will stay a long time in your heads
I had that too 5 years ago when I just moved in but still had no curtains, so the thieves(2 drug people) thought there was no one in the house, they came through the kitchen window by drilling holes in the wood of the window and then they good reach the hinges?
anyway I was at home sleeping upstairs...(I live alone) I heard something and thought when listening good, sh*t thats in my home
One whas opening the gardendoors and one was coming upstairs so I saw a confrontation comming so I quikly slip in my underwear and slip in some shoes and stamped to the door! opened it and just saw one guy(with a baseball cap) open the first sleeproom door, so I played the game of a angry man he was shoched to find there was someone in the house and ran for his life while I was chasing then on a distance afcorse!(did not wanted that screwdriver in my body!) just anough to get them out my house..phoned the cops...but they never caught them?, and I thought I reconise one of them(a drug user) from some streets back where I live...anyway that person is now in jail after robing some people and items and after mostly sending him home so he could do it again, they now finaly put him in jail...for the moment but he won't do it soon here again! he knows I know...and I booked him once before when he stole someting of a car from a girlfriend who was sleeping by me..he thought that I was also from Recherce/cops so he has now a bit respect
Anyway wish you both lots of power to overcome this! and remember it can happen everywhere...not nice but sadly thats it..
cheers

I'm really sorry to hear this mate. They really do deserve to die. At least they didn't add another 25k+ to their loot by taking your car. Hope you get it all sorted, and things return to normal asap.

That's rotten news mate, know how you feel, my first car was pinched and ever since then I've always been that bit more protective of my motors. It's a real shame as you've been on a bit of a roll of late with the wedding, new car and home...

Just don't let it get you down - moving may be the best option (it's a cliche that you never feel secure afterwards) but bear in mind that what happened can happen anywhere.

That's real bad news especially as it's a new house / area - not what you need... Hope it all sorts itself out and they catch the loosers...

Sadly, Burglary is classed as a minor crime nowadays.

Try telling that to the victims.

Prison terms are a joke. 12 month sentence but out in 3 months for 'good behaviour'

It is a terrible time for both of you, I hope the insurance will go some way to making it better.

very suprised.
i thought a burglar alarm would deter all theives.
also i would assume a new house would be safer due to double glazing and deadlocks etc

dads places was burgled 3 times in short succession until an alarm was fitted, so guess they may come back

Mate, what more can I say than I have already.

It's shit, they're shit, the Police are outta luck.

Just get it dealt with, secure the house and carry on with your life. Don't be a victim, and whatever you do, don't batter anyone over it.

We'll try out that Exige S next weekend, have a nice lunch and look forward to a summer of roof off blats. Those silly bastards will probably be having a shite summer, jacking themselves up on smack or injecting crack into their eyes.
