    Oh no - that is terrible!

    We were burgled in the past I know how horrible it is. Perhaps time for an alarm you can put on while you are in as well as when you're out!

    So Doodles, any news about your shock of the other day? Got your colleagues on the case?

    Not really. One of my neighbours said they saw three lads loitering in the close a few days before and apparently looking at my car :eek: decided not to ring the police or tell me at the time though grrrrrrrr

    So far it hasn't pinged up on any speed cameras etc so pretty sure its either out of the country or has been stripped and sold off in pieces :mad:

    That's rubbish. How does this work with the insurance people?
