Burglary

  • I would just like to feel a bit safer thats all. After first robbery on 14th I was told that Police will watch my area and that wasnt really true, if i was broken in to second time just 8days later.

    I do understand how busy they are and im not blaming anybody.However when that man got caught, I wasnt even informed, i found out from T&A which is not really ideal.

    It might be worth pointing out to the Housing Association that security at the flat is non-existent. As a tenant, you can't do the things to make it secure that an owner might do. Perhaps you would have had more money to play with if the place hadn't been burgled repeatedly.

    Ok Hun you are going through a tough time that no-one should have to deal with once, let alone twice, and I can understand your worries - I think you would be best off contacting Victim Support

    trained volunteers offer:
    • someone to talk to in confidence
    • information on police and court procedures
    • help in dealing with other organisations
    • information about compensation and insurance
    • information on other sources of help
    which all sound like good things to have, especially if you haven't got much of a network of relatives around you

    Their web address is http://www.victimsupport.org/Home/Help%20for%20victims
    I hope you can find the help you need
    You never know how far-reaching something good, that you may do or say today, may affect the lives of others tomorrow
  • Thank you for all your advice, ill try it all, got nothing to loose ehh:(
