I agree it's definitely the knowing people have been in your home and the sentimental items that are taken that's the worst. I think I've only seen my dad cry twice, and one of which was when he was telling me how the burglars had stolen the cufflinks his mum had bought him for his 21st birthday. God now I'm getting a bit teary too. Utter scumbags

I was offered victim support after an attempted burglary last year (I was in at the time and the brilliant police caught him and went to prison for a few months) but at the time I just assumed victim support meant councilling etc so I just said no. I wish I'd realised at the time that they could have helped with security, so anyone who is offered victim support do take it.

Yes I'd take up the offer of victim support as well. I hope these guys get caught. And if they are caught I hope the OP is prepared to go to court and help to secure a conviction. Quite often people either can't be bothered or are maybe frightened to go through this process. This then can then end up with the burglar getting a slap on the wrist in the form of a caution.

I declined their services for the same reason SS...ended up spending almost ?1,000 on security (the bulk of that being on a solid steel door):-S. Still, that was when I was living in Herne Hill...so far so good in ED.


I too hope they catch them james84.

I really hope they catch them James.. Same thing happened to me at West Hampstead when I lived there, they completely cleaned us out, hardest part was they stole jewellery that my dad had given me from when him and my mum were married.. Never did catch the a$$holes but all I can say is sorry it happened to you mate..

    • The fact is, high spec phones are worth money. Be secure - passwords, face recognition, strong passwords for your banking etc.  Get your phones backed up. Get your phone insured. Don't fight if you are being robbed. It’s just a phone. Be safe. Annoying as it is, it’s prolific and you can take steps to minimise your chance of being targeted.
    • Your point being what? Kids in face masks all in black? Being going on in ED for years..  wake up, gangs are around or is this first time you have been aware.. No doubt your hubby walked away - probably ran when he felt safe..
    • Fine people for wearing face coverings??? Do you remember covid?
    • John recently installed our kitchen and has done a stellar job. He took a lot of care to make sure all of the details were right, in our Edwardian house that has very few straight lines. He worked really hard and attention to detail and problem solving was excellent. Highly recommend.    topmarxkitchens@gmail.com   https://www.facebook.com/p/Top-Marx-Kitchens-100054431982311/?checkpoint_src=any
