I'm surprised to hear crime so high in ED. Was in the chippie just after Xmas and heard someone's house had been burgled, my conscience resonated then. You don't hear so much of this in Kent where I'm from. I house-sit for a few people I meet through work and friends (it's a nice way to have some space from my houseshare). I'm happy to consider housesitting on a short or long term basis for people who want to nip away for the weekend or go on long hols without the worry. I can provide references and I have a current CRB check - My parents run a post office so I know about security and risk. Happy to look after cats and some other animals too. There are a few other house-sitters on the forum you can find too. Thanks for threading about these burglaries. Because of these threads I now hide my jewellery, paperwork, camera and laptop away from areas I think potential thieves may look. Paperwork is an important one. My grandad was heartbroken when my nan's birth and death certificates were stollen. We now hide his papers in a secret space where they'll never think to look.

A friend and I are looking to volunteer this Christmas. I'll get in touch this evening. Thanks for posting!
