Prayers and good thoughts please

Well he’s trespassed for 2 years by police so that should help considerably. Now we just need the rest of the idiots to be caught.

 

What an eventful day. Honestly thought we’d left that chapter behind us 6 1/2 months ago. Had three young idiots break a window and come onto our back stairs just after 11am. Reported it and spoke to police who haven’t found them yet but are keeping an eye out for them. It’s not like I needed this stress on top of family stress but it is what it is. Luckily it happened just before my mum was heading to work so she was there when it happened and has taken a day off work.

 

@gonewiththewind they aren’t the same ones each time now. I think there has only been two lots that have been the same right at the beginning where two individuals/groups hit us two days in a row but overall it’s probably been up to 10 different people because they work in pairs or groups of 3-4. Can’t say they are one age/gender or ethnicity either - we’ve had it all!

 

@bellbird, nope no theft, just a bit of damage yet again to the house and a bit of anxiety for us for good measure

 

they aren’t actually “stealing” anything now, just damaging property. I agree that this must be their way of life and have nothing better to do.

 

Can you believe it....after nearly two years we had a small incident a few days ago. About 10pm at night we hear a strange noise and my mum goes out to investigate and finds someone has walked down our long driveway and is wanting to see their grandfather (we have had no males living here since 1998 and no grandfathers in our family since 1994!). My mum told him to get off the property as he was trespassing and he left so didn't need to contact the police this time but we've been on alert since then with my mum taking Monday off work just to be sure. Luckily no other incidents after that isolated incident.

 

So far so good in that respect, it happened on Saturday night and its now Wednesday afternoon so I think we are ok for now. It just spooked us a bit as we'd had such a clear run for a couple of years

 

Yes it was good we didn't need to ring the police this time. I was just lucky it was late enough that I wasn't home alone or there was a chance I wouldn't have seen/heard them until much later in the piece

 

Yes very lucky in that regard, even half an hour to an hour earlier and I would have been alone.
Oh yes, we've definitely been on high alert and will continue to do so. Just super lucky my mum was able to take Monday off work (she already has Sunday and Tuesday off) so she's been with me for 4 days with today being the first day I'm on my own. Previously if anything has happened it's been two days/nights in a row then fine so we are probably past the worst of it now.
