Bugger, damn and blast.

Getting dressed this morning, I heard a noise at the back door and went to have a look - found some bloke peering in (or trying to) through the frosted glass. He scarpered the moment he saw me.

Bollocks. Felt all shaky, and stood in the kitchen in the dark for ages because it gives a good view of the back door and garden. Not scared, because there's a big difference between looking through someone's door and kicking it in while they are present, but nervous in case he/someone comes back while I'm out and tries the burglary thing again.

Am strongly tempted to drag something heavy, like the tumble drier, in front of the back door before I go out.

Darn.

My jaw was hurting when I woke up this morning. Am really not in the mood for all this right now.

You poor thing. I think the tumble dryer idea is a good one. Perhaps you should tell the police too, in light of the burglary? If your jaw is hurting, perhaps you should stay home today (if you haven't already left?).

*massive huggles*

Thanks, Janet.

ARGH. And yes, you have to tell the police. Dammit, it's essential *waggles finger*. Get them round BEFORE you go to work, and with a bit of luck they'll do the heavy lifting as well.

And... hugs.

Now I feel like a naughty schoolgirl coz I didn't call the police - seemed silly when the chappy was so clearly long gone. I did barricade the backdoor before I left, though.

Won't stay in work long today as not feeling very well. Just have to be here long enough to get volunteer Ros sorted out and meet-and-greet anyone who turns up for the drop-in day. Don't think I'll get much else done.

OMG! REPORT THIS TO THE POLICE (remind them that you are the one that had your house forcibly broken into!) Keep that new camera handy and if it should happen again (God forbid) snap a photo of the bastard!

Have you gotten some security service stickers and stuck them in the windows? (You don't actually have to *have* a security service...) That might be a cheap deterrent.

DO report this - They should know of further suspicious activity.

That doesn't sound good. I agree with the people above about contacting the police - even though it's hours ago now, you should make them aware of any suspicious activity. Hopefully they (the police) will come back and see you again (increased presence may be sufficient deterrent), and it's always possible that someone else could have seen the guy if they know to ask about it.

Do you have a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme in your area? If there is, then the police should know who runs it, or otherwise they might help with getting one set up. Even if the NWS isn't particularly active, just having the signs up in the area often helps.
