Let's just say in such a manner for us not to notice until after we had been home for an hour- they stole money, jewellery and laptops- quick and easy things to carry. Aparantly it's common in the area and on the up- they are doing it at a time when people are out in the afternoon and then diving in quickly and grabbing easy things. Best thing for people to do is triple locks and alarms and be aware even if you are home alone in the day especially.
