Just found out my next door neighbour's was broken into last night, & the thing is I heard them! Heard banging & running up & down the stairs around 10 last night, & now I'm FCUKING sick, as I thought it was her grandkids who live two doors away & sometimes go into the house when she's out. Fcuking scum, hope they die a very painful death.
I stayed in my Granny's a few years ago, her neighbour is forever doing DIY, works from home (carpenter I think), around 10 in the morning I'm woken up by hammering/banging coming from next door, goes on for 5 minutes or so, I roll over and ignore it. Granny comes home a few hours later to tell me the neighbours were broken into and the robbers used a hammer to break down the front door. Felt well bad!!
Everything make sense when your Captain Hindsight. Dont beat yourself up about it, if you investigated every noise and bang that came from your neighbours you'd be over every other minute. Just make sure your own place is well secured. So sickening scumbags getting away with things like this
You can't beat yourself up about that, as Fantana said, if you investigated every sound you'd never have a minute to yourself. And also what if the cnuts had a knife or bat or even a gun!?
I know Con, but I feel devestated for her, she is the best neighbour you could hope to have. She lives on her own, her own sons & daughters live locally, one 2 doors away from her, & she has been very good to me over the years since my mother passed away, & I'm genuinely sick to my stomach that this has happened to her.
I know two people recently who have woken up to find the glass from their kitchen windows lying unbroken on the grass. The fcukers just removed the rubber around it and lifted out the panes of glass! In one case they took laptops, phones, and a VW gold that was in the drive way! Both happened in Kildare in the space of 10 days. On both occasions this was done to a few houses on the same night. A couple of years ago, one of my neighbours heard a noise out her back. She went downstairs and switched on the kitchen light. Saw a fella outside her window. He legged it. When the Gardai arrived they found a little notebook the thug had dropped. It had a list of every house on the road. Beside each house number there was a letter. Either an "A", "D", "V", "N". When they worked it out the letters stood for: "A" = Alarm "D" = Dog "V" = Venetian Blinds "N" = Nothing They scumbags had it all worked out and knew exactly which houses they would target when they left for their nights robbing!
