or another guy who looked after the dog when I was at work (my dad's age - 60) who told people I was his girlfriend - I suspect he took a copy of the key as I used to leave it outside for him.0

Alyth - like I said no offence intended, and I hope you get to the bottom of it asap.
I think you're doing the right thing by getting the locks changed yourself if the factor dont sort them asap.
Good luck for the exam.Metranil dreams of becoming a neon,You don't even take him seriously,How am I going to get to heaven?,When I'm just balanced so precariously..0 -
someone coming into your home, going through your things, playing/feeding your dog :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
if anyone came anywhere near this place my three would go mad, probably divide the perpetrator up and stick him in the freezer
you really really must go to the police asap, get the locks changed too. this could be serious, there was a stalker case very recently in the news...imo all women (not just single ones) need to take their safety very seriously, doesn't matter who you think it may be, it isn't on and you need to take action

Don't be naive, report it. If nothing else the police will be able to suggest ways of making your home more secure. If this intruder did turn up while you were at home you have no idea how they might behave -whether known to you or not.
I had intruders at one point, I found food going missing, toilet not flushed, things which really 'weren't me'. Luckily it turned out to be children, but the police took it seriously because, as they pointed out, until you know who it is you can't assess the risk.
You only think you know so therefore you are taking a risk which you can't quantify.Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants - Michael Pollan

You must report it to the police0

just to update you all. Driving to college this morning I suddenly remembered I have the number of a special constable who comes into the shop - I used to work with him. Spoke to him and he said inform the police, which I have just done so. It all sounds mad when you say it out loud, but the woman was lovely and an officer will call me either today or tomorrow to talk through some options.
Special constable guy said he will come and see me at work on Saturday as well.
The locks should be changed this afternoon, spoke to the factor this morning.
I agree with you Lill, I would have put it on the old guy, I've never seen nor heard from married guy for about 10 months, but the footsteps were that of a heavier person - older guy is small and very wiry, married guy was 6 foot odd and heavily built.
I feel really stupid - not for having given the guy a key or anything, just stupid and naive.
But on the plus side the exam questions were everything that I had studied last night, and I found it very easy, so hopefully I've passed it okay.
Thanks again for your responses and for sharing your experiences, I really appreciate it.0 -
Glad you're ok OP, and glad the locks are getting changed. Well done with the exam too. Keep us updated and take care!0

Just read this through. Glad you're getting sorted and that the exam was okay. It's always better to report things too, even if only so there is a referebce to it should anything else happen in the futureA reminder to myself: Persistence Pays Off

aylth, with the amount of information you put up on the net regarding your personal life and where you stay, job etc I could walk into the shop you work in and probably pinpoint you straight away, same with your house. Please be more circumspect with the information you post for your own safety.0
