And since you have no proof that your neighbours were involved , you can do nothing to recover the 200 pounds.<br />But you can lock the back door and close the bottom windows and foil any further attempts .<br />Husband scoffs when I do this .... but when I managed to lock myself out last year , I found that I could get back in by scaling a fence and dropping 8 feet or so onto paving slabs . If I can do it in my '60s , a young lad could be over in a flash ( and not hobble for three days afterwards !) . I'm not very keen on unannounced guests .SmitoniusAndSonatahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11210817141287881808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-16139582967883352692011-09-09T18:56:10.655+01:002011-09-09T18:56:10.655+01:00Spencer Park - ther is a lot for taking justice in...Spencer Park - ther is a lot for taking justice into ones own hands esp if you know who it is but is it worth it?<br />Marcheline - very sage advice. I DONT know it was any one of them so I am NOT doing anything. I will rely on the police even though they effectivley closed my case at the parish council meeting this week! Budget cuts I suspect!<br />Sunburbia - As I said I don;t really know and as I am reminded supposition without evidence could be taken as slander/libel and I sdon;t wnat any of that! And yes there was no money left in trhe purse, whoever got away with iot is now £200($350) richer!<br />About Last Weekend - if I knew hwo it was I would def go down this route and NOT involve the police!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-10244916575416634152011-09-09T18:05:52.144+01:002011-09-09T18:05:52.144+01:00I really like the solution that Expat Mum presents...I really like the solution that Expat Mum presents.

Do not confront your neighbors about this. <br /><br />1. You have no proof. If it wasn't them, you are creating bad blood. <br /><br />2. If it was them, they have no scruples and you are just opening yourself up to further harrassment and/or danger.<br /><br />3. These people live next to you. Think about that, and what it means.<br /><br />Let the police handle the investigation, and if the neighbors need to be spoken to let the cops do it, as it's their job. You don't want to make yourself look fearful or weak to people that may be unafraid to take advantage of it. You also don't want to create strife with your neighbors, on the chance it wasn't them to begin with.<br /><br />Finally, lock your doors. And have a back fence put up that cannot be climbed over. And perhaps get a Dobermann or a pit bull. That'll learn 'em!Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-21258121006110295132011-09-09T06:55:45.392+01:002011-09-09T06:55:45.392+01:00Having been there (someone burgled almost the enti...Having been there (someone burgled almost the entire contents of our ground floor whilst we, including the dog, slept upstairs) I know how awful the feeling is and how everyone becomes a suspect.<br /><br />In my case the police said they knew who it was as they had video of them ditching the car seats, they stole the car as well, outside the local co-op but they couldn't arrest them as the video wasn't of high enough quality.<br /><br />How I wanted to ask who it was so I could arrange my own justice!<br /><br />The feelings do lesson over time.Spencer Parkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909895952382296428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-40516412707326705142011-09-08T22:14:40.924+01:002011-09-08T22:14:40.924+01:00Rob-bear - Thank you and it is a sense of violatio...Rob-bear - Thank you and it is a sense of violation. All this past week I have been looking for my purse somewhere int eh hosue and thinking I must have put it dopwn somewhere stupid so I actually wasn't too upset but last night it was all brought home...<br />Expat Mum - Hopefully the Police who went round to the farm to see if they saw anything might have done that. Papers in purse are now with forensics though it might be a few weeks..nothing like CSI is it!Tattieweaslehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723634612274763884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-38869853782390340862011-09-08T21:59:22.986+01:002011-09-08T21:59:22.986+01:00Here's what I did when I suspected someone wor...Here's what I did when I suspected someone working in my house had taken something - I let him know that the items were gone, and I also let him know that I was on the alert, and that he wasn't off the hook. I casually asked him if he had accidentally mixed the items up with his stuff when he was packing, since they had been on the chair right next to his work bag. Since no one else had been in the house that day, he knew that it looked a bit obvious. Lo and behold, he came in the next day and said "You were right. I had packed the stuff up with my own stuff."<br />You could ask them if they saw someone and then go on to casually explain how difficult it would be for a complete stranger to get into your house like that. Nuff said.Expat mumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17798190669591053390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7706340262644788705.post-46345074087993684122011-09-08T21:17:44.392+01:002011-09-08T21:17:44.392+01:00The pink purse is back, which is good.
