"Bah Humbug!"

Usually at this time of year I am full of festive spirit and looking forward to Christmas eve/day and celebrations with friends and family. But something turned the way I am feeling.

Lying in bed just before 5am I heard a noise in the Garden, thought it was my older brother comming back from a night out and not having his key. Then seen some light shinning quickly a few times into my blinds. Straight away my mind jumped to torch light and I lept out of bed. Looked out of blinds to the garden and the backdoor below. Too dark to see properly and the roof meant I couldn't see the backdoor properly but as soon as I heard the next noise I knew someone was trying to break in.

I went in and called my dad, as soon as he turned over to get out of bed I went downstairs.
Nobody was in the house, think switching the light on had caused them to run, guess we were lucky in a way that I had heard them and they didn't get in and get their grubby little mits on anything.

I'm mega peee'd off though,glass in door is totally shattered and in a way I wish I had caught someone in my house just so I could have took some kind of revenge. Mad my views on the laws and rights of criminals stronger but I'll save that for another thread in the life forum.

Just hope nobody else near by was broken into and actually had stuff taken, police came round but we live on the edge of a forest and they had a look around but wasn't much else they could do. Seen them drive around for a few hours afterwards so hopefully they caught the people who tried to get in.

Hopefully get the glass sorted later on and hear back from police later, then maybe can get back to getting house ready for Christmas day....

Bah

i like christmas, it's when all the pimps come out :D

They never normally come back twice, so they'll be stupid if the do.

Police never found anyone or had any reports of anyother break ins so I guess thats a good sign.

I would guess that tonight would be the worst night for it, what with all the gifts etc been out. Going out to party at my rugby club so should someone decide to come back for something they seen the other night then I am sure this night I will not be putting on lights to scare them off.

But its Christmas eve so I am going to enjoy things now.

Damn dude, im sorry to hear that.
If i knew that some one was trying to break into my house i would of done the same thing, wake my dad up and then go after them.

That sucks monkey cahonas.

You should have lurked in the darkness with a cricket bat and walloped them.

Little gits, shame they were such pussycats and ran away.

I would have liked to see Aliboy on the rampage! :D

It's not a nice thing at all (we all know that, even without experience). The good thing about them having taken nothing, though, is that you are now more likely to be better-prepared for any future times this could happen.

Someone will probably double-check ALL the locks every-night from now on; making sure everything is as out-of-sight, secure and inaccesible as possible.

Basically, it is likely to awaken you to the possibilities.


It seems bad now, but you WILL get over it, in-time.

It can't be easy, but, for the good of yourselves, you must try and just "forget about it" for a while to enjoy Christmas.


I feel sorry for you, but anyone can tell you it could've been a lot worse. Be grateful for what you have, and have a good-un! :)

Yeah, sorry to hear about that, at this time of the year. Have a merry christmas anyway!

Happened to us*.
Bahlies.

That's optimism for you.


And I'm sorry to hear that. It's a shame how some people have to dampen other's excitement and joy at this time of year.
Happened to use a few years back, but they didn't get too far either, thankfully.
God bless double glazing.
