Thanks for the sympathy lads, and the good ideas. The tripwire and shotgun was Nipper's solution, but he forgot about it and, to quote him, "shot my Bananarama! leg off"
I must say I was impressed with the police - a dog unit was at my house within a couple of minutes. Just a WPC and a German Shepherd, but I guess that's all she needed. I certainly wouldn't have wanted to argue with the dog. She returned after about 30 mins and reported that she had found a couple of lads "on the trail", but didn't think they were involved. I hadn't been able to give her a very good description, other than that they were both wearing hoodies and trainers. Like that narrows it down
I have since heard from neighbours that there have been numerous incidents over the last few nights. However, the "travellers" have now been moved on, so hopefully things will become more peaceful now. I pity the next town that they blitz though.
God I hate thieves

I got broken into Good Friday morning
i was asleep in the living room on the couch in a sleeping bag and i woke up half asleep hearing the sound of my letter box been messed with.I sat up and there was a bloke creeping in the room in the Dark,i had not shut my front door fully.Annoyingly i op end my mouth and Said "what do you want?"he then Bolted through the front door and as i was in a bag it took me a second to get out of it
and when i did i was naked!
so i could not run out after him
i did get dressed straight away and went for a look around the area armed with my Hammer but no sign of him
I'm annoyed for speaking to him as he had no idea i was there i could have had him
but i was still half asleep when i spoke.I suppose its for the best as one of us, or both, would have been seriously hurt.
Nothing was taken or damaged thankfully
Be care full as it looks like they get busy Easter weekend hoping people are away for the holidays.

Did you not see that police show on TV the other night?
These lads will spend hours through the night trying EVERY door on a housing estate until they find one not locked. Sometimes they try 150 doors before finding one that has been left unlocked. 9 times out of ten the house belongs to a young man that has come home a bit worse for drink and is now sound asleep.
Then the first thing they look for is car keys next to the front door and do off in your car. If there is a TV or anything else easy to sell they will pick that up too on their way out.
I had a nasty experience after leaving my door open one night after being drunk.
I woke up and decided to "chuck one out" before getting up. Had my eyes closed. Heard a noise. Opened my eyes and there was a ugly woman in a raincoat standing at the foot of my bed with a HUGE German Shepard dog on a chain.
That was the last thing I had been expecting to see at the height of my self inflicted pleasure I can tell you.
I think i would have rather been burgled.

Thanks Adam I'm fine cheers,i should be more care full!!! if i do not lock my door correctly then you can just turn the handle and open it! i often have it set like this so that i can nip to my car outside and not get locked out if i forget the keys,i just keep forgetting to lock it at night!
I will do now,I'm lucky he did not get my Cobra(car) or wallet etc.

I did a job for a plumber (x army guy) about 10 years ago who caught a guy trying to break in his garage, he wacked him round the head and thought he had killed him, so he put 2 potato sacks over him, through him in his van drove for miles and through him in a ditch , he couldnt sleep that night so drove back early doors ,guy was gone but the sacks were there, dont think he will be trying to break into his garage again,
