Keep your windows shut

Hi all


Just thought I'd better give out an obvious warning..


I've won some big prizes off here.. game consoles (xbox 360, games wii etc etc)

Well.. Friday I left the house for an hour while I picked my little boy up from school and when I got back someone had been in my house and taken the lot.

They got through a bathroom window up stairs which I had pulled shut but not locked.

They went though my bedroom and pulled everything out and went through my lttle boys bedroom too.

Please if you're bringing in big prizes (good luck!) then make your house a safe place to keeep them!

Thanks :D
