‹ chat statusOn Sunday I was spending the day with Augusta, Roger was home having all the fun I have during the week with the kids. My break to my moms house turned into a sort of therapy session where she sorted my head out and Roger's and the kids day was filled with a few hours of fun down the beach, renting movies and eating endless amounts of junk!
Roger had left the back door un-locked incase I came home while he was down the beach with the kids, he thought after while in the car, fat load of good leaving the back door open would be because I'd be needing the frigging key first to open the gate to get 'in' the garden!!! The boundry to my garden is surrounded by 8ft high walls and fences, it's pretty safe, it keeps my nosey neighbors out and my little kids in. I worry about the little ones getting out because there's a canal along side of my house - 'The mote' I call it, the mote to my castle lol - there's no way no-ones comming in that side if the garden!!! We'll un-beknown to us, someone else did plan to have some fun in our house while we were all out!
My therapy session with my mom continued into sunday night and I didn't get back in doors until gone midnight, and it wasn't until yesterday morning that Roger and the boys decided to tell my about our mystery intruer.
When Roger and the boys returned home from the beach the boys went up stairs to change their clothes because they were covered in sand but when they walked into the're bedroom they saw someone had been 'in' their bedroom and ripped out the play stations and all the leads and started stufing them into one of my suitcases which were in my room. They called Roger up, they were really freaked out.
Roger could see that maybe they had disturbed someone in the middle of robbing the place and he quickly searched the house to see if the burglar was still there. They couldn't find no one but they continued to search the house to see if anything ws stollen.
They couldn't see nothing out of the ordinary, it confused Roger because whoever it was could have made a fortune in my office, they could have stole the P.C and all the other bits of technical stuff that would get a thief more money.
It wasn't making any sence so he put the suitcase thingy down to the boys messing about. Maybe it was James, maybe it was Joedan cause he was going away to spain etc.... Nothing added up.
When the boy's told me I went (((((((((((WHAT)))))))) as you can imagine! I quized them all, I went over every concievable detail with them. Once I was convinced that the kids were not messing about with the suitcase thing I stood on the landing and thought 'which way could an Intruder get out of the house if Roger and the kids walked in?
Now, since my house fire 3 yrs ago, I know 'every possible route out' in the event that we could be trapped upstairs by another fire. I visualized the path - the most easiest, safest and quickest route is out through my bedroom window and onto the porch roof. My heart sunk as I went to investigate, I felt like sherloc holmes retracing footsteps of a criminal, trying to solve what happend etc. I looked out the window and saw what I didn't want to see, it made it real - this was the escape route because they had left a nasty big 'hole' in the porch roof!!! I could see new cracks where someone had walked on the porch and the further round I looked I saw the hole where their foot had gone through!
I called Roger, he couldn't believe it either. I said call the police, he said whats the point - nothing was stolen. After a few hours of shaking and worrying we did notice that my cell phone had vanished, the last time I used that was when I phoned my brother which was in my bedroom, it looks like that was snatched by the thief on the way out of my bedroom window. Bastard.
I hate this town.
Anyway I got onto the house phone and called up the security firm and they are comming here this morning and are going to be sorting out my house alarm and fitting camera's around the inside of the house. We're fixing the external camera's and adding more around te back door area and having everything connected to a recording monitor or my p.c which ever - maybe both. It's going to cost a fortune, a big chunk out of money we don't have. I just finished paying off my credit cards and now it looks like i'm going to have another big bill on them.
I think who ever it was 'will' come back because their eyes were bigger than they're bellies and didn't know where to start first - hence the reason why they thought of grabbing one of my suitcases, they planned to have a field day but it went wrong!
In the mean time, we've come to the conclussion that this person doesn't know who's house they chose to target because each one of us does karate - thats why we branded him the "Worlds Dumbest Burgular". We told everyone from one end of town to the other end of town what has happened and made sure that the word gets about and who's house it was, alot of people are loyal to Roger and he's confident he'll find out who it was.
Can you imagine what would have happend if the boys caught someone in they're bedroom, gawd help them if Roger caught hold of him.
I was paranoid last night going to sleep, but today I feel like im not down, i'm ready to fight back. I'll catch them this time. There'll be no escape.
