    For past three days now, at around this time, someone has opened our letterbox.

    It's particularly windy right now - and from unusual angles.... could just be a usually hidden draught and you're only noticing it now.....

    If it only happens at a particular time of day, several days in a row, it's unlikely to be the wind.

    Have you had post delivered on the days it happened?

    My letterbox often stays slightly open when letters and pushed through and then drops back down later....

    Makes me jump every time!!

    On two out of the three days, and its never done that before if it was!!!

    Lots of things it could be I suppose, it just seems really strange. Police have logged it just in case anyway and they said they will keep an eye out as they often have PCSO patrols in our area (there was a lot of drug dealing here recently)

    Get some WD40 on it if it's sticking.

    After learning the hard way quite recently, it is best to cover all bases and ensure that everywhere is locked up.

    If you leave a purse on the table when you go out you'll know straight away if someone's broken in.

    If you are looking for ways to deter intruders and booby trap your house during the festive season, I recommend watching Home Alone. Full of super ideas :)
