Shed broken into.

[lairdAl_374474951]

Hi Folks,

Well opened the back door this morning 0705am to let the dog out & saw the back gate open,on shutting it & turning arround to go back indoors I saw my shed door open a jar.

I immediatley thought well I havent been in the shed for the last couple of days,& on inspection some lousy so & so (or so's)have broken into my shed.

I rang the police at 0730am to report my findings,the person on the other end of the phone although sympathetic,wasn't much help he just took a list of the stolen items gave me a crime Number & thats it.

I asked if he was sending someone out to investigate & his reply was"no sir not to sheds & garages".

Well whoever they were have taken our awning-solar panels-cordless drill & quite a bit of other stuff including two new tins of dulux paint.

I cant find words to describe the mindless so & so's,well I can but cant put on here.

Contacted the insurance company to report the incident & was told they will be sorting our claim out,& hopefully before we go away at easter.

Well what a day!.

I know im getting the stolen items replaced & im gratefull for that,but out of pocket expences for the exess on the insurance & sundry items for repairing the shed aswell & i'll bet my insurance premiums will go up next year!:-(

I suppose iv'e just got to take it on the chin & get on with it.

Though not on the same scale as your loss some idiot has taken it into his head to keep pinching my door bell push. Two, held on with double sided tape, were ripped off the door frame so on Saturday I screwed the new one on to the brickwork beside the door. As they're radio ones I have to buy a bell as well. This afternoon I am left with 2 screws and a bit of broken plastic. I don't even bother reporting it which is why , I suspect, Kent's finest crow on about a drop in anti social behaviour.

Anybody want to buy 3 multi tone door chimes (bell push not included)?

I bet your wife is annoyed! now the painting will never be done!!!

I know how you feel, toe rags that cannot be bothered to earn a decent living, decide they will make their living from us!!

Sorry to hear about your bad luck,

The thing is the toe rags know that the police will not investigate so they could not care less. When I was in the police force in the laet sixties every crime was investigate thoroughly and if possible finger prints were lifted.

Even if we could not catch the culprits at the time, eventually we would catch them as they would continue on the crime spree and eventually make a mistake. You could then tie up all prevous crimes to them to ensure a longer prison sentence as they would not be first time offenders.

Hi There

I know what you mean. I just come back from 4 weeks at sea been home two days opened the door to let the dog out only to see my side garage door open . On looking down the path it was strange. Went down the path for a look and the buggers had taken the screws out of the hinges and gone in that way

I went in had a look and found they had emptied my sea fishing tackle box my fresh water fishing gear and a couple of power tools in to my tent bag. Yeah the tent bag. They had taken the tent out the carry bag put it into an empty plastic box then ontop of the tent they put the poles and pegs .... wonderful housekeeping.

They also took half a dozen rods aswell i was gutted

Anyway I called the police told them that there where finger prints on some surfaces sent scene of crimes round within 30 minutes and for 3 days i had PCSO's round and the same day they brought me a shed alarm works a treat

Anyway. Rumuors have it that they know who it is however they can not do anything about it unless they are caught actually doing the crime

anyway thats my experience .... gutted but well lit up and got cctv up now

Sorry to hear about your break-in, but I hope this makes you smile.

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables, and when he picked up a CD player to place in his pack, a strange, disembodied voice echoed from the dark saying, "Jesus is watching you."

He nearly jumped out of his skin, clicked his flashlight out, and froze. When he heard nothing more after a bit, he shook his head, promised himself a vacation after the next big score, then clicked the light on and began searching for more valuables. Just as he pulled the stereo out so he could disconnect the wires, clear as a bell he heard,

"Jesus is watching you." Freaked out, he shone his light around frantically, looking for the source of the voice. Finally, in the corner of the room, his flashlight beam came to rest on a parrot. "Did you say that?", he hissed at the parrot.

"Yep," the parrot confessed, then squawked, "I'm just trying to warn you."

The burglar relaxed. "Warn me, huh? Who in the world are you?"

"Moses," replied the bird.

"Moses?" the burglar laughed. "What kind of people would name a birdMoses?"

"The kind of people that would name a Rottweiller Jesus."

Sorry about your loss guys. Trouble is, if you catch em in the act, beat them s******s, to teach them a lesson, you understand, you would propably end up in nick.

Sick world

Sorry to hear about your loss, not suprised the old bill did the usual thing in a case like this (sweet fa). , to attempt to catch anyone for this kind of thing would involve work, and the chances of a conviction are slim to say the least, they would rather go for the soft target, ie, the motorist, the clear up rate on this kind of thing looks more impressive to the powers that be.

While at work one night I needed to call home in the small hours. When passing the local off licence we noticed two men staring into the window and both were wearing headwear covering their faces.

I got on the radio and notified our control to inform the police. Later that night after taking a patient to casualty we decided to call at the police station to see if anyone was apprehended. They told us that they caught them both at the rear of the premises but because they hadn't actually started to break and enter the building they couldn't charge them.

Hence more scrotes let loose to make more lives a misery :O(

I feel for you. Last year in May, our shed was broken into while we were away ove a weekend. I canvassed the neibours about it but as usual no one saw anything.

The police were good, they came out to look at the damage and sent out scenes of crime. They did find some fingerprints on my lawn mower that were not mine but no one has been caught.

My generator and chainsaw was taken. The chainsaw was on its last legs and I got a new one. The generator though was a good onem with an inverter in it so I could used it with the caravan.

The insurance wanted me to have one that a builder uses with the bars round it. Took me a while to sort out but I got the one I wanted in the end.

On my insurance I could make two claims over three years before it effected the premiums. It is with TSB.

sorry to hear about this buddy, must be sickening.

we dont have this problem in my town, we all know each other and look out for all. couple of years back there was a new family moved in and a spate of break ins occurred, wasnt long until they were found out and given the message, since then, nothing at all. its sometimes a good thing to live in a wee rural town/ village, better the devil ye know.

......open or remove my shed door and a 12volt-car hooter sounds beneath my living room and bedroom windows.

Hi Guy's

Thanks for your replys,I still can't get over what has happened,I just have to get on with it,theres no point crying over spilt milk as it were.

I have had a phone call from the local constabulary,and they are not able to offer any help,one of the questions that i was asked is "why would anyone want to pinch your camping gear" I then said what a bloody stupid question to ask "to sell and make some easy money.

I did ask him a simular question as to why "my nextdoor neighbour's shed got turned over 2 yrs ago,and why my other neighbour got his car nicked and then burnt out,and finally why did someone try to pinch our friends caravan,they didn't succeed so they let it roll backwards crashing into the bungalow.

His reply to my questions was " I dont know" so that answered his own question then!!

over the weekend we trawled a few of the local carboots in the hope that something would turn up,but that came to a blank.

Thanks again for the replys.

Al
