I was broken in to last week, They caught the guy that broke in, he was fresh out of prison, wanted to go back in, left his prints and waited to get picked up - said he hid my stuff in a bush and went back to get it and it was gone - if anyone hears of anything like this, let me know, I would love my jewellery back :(


He took watches, a camera with extra zoom lense, my granddads tie pin, my gold bracelet and cash :(

How infuriating - if he'd kept it, he could have given it straight to the police, even better than fingerprints and you'd have got your stuff back. Of course someone may have found it and handed it in (fingers crossed) but it could be stuck in the system, make sure the police follow up on it in a few days.


Is there any way we can get this out onto Twitter? I am on there, but don't think that anyone local would be following me (am very much a newbie), what you need is a local organisation to get the message out, who may have lots of local followers who wouldn't necessarily see it on here. Can anyone help?


I know it doesn't help you buntysammy, but the thief must have been pretty desperate (and stupid and selfish too). Will keep my eyes peeled too, and hope your belongings make their way back to you.

Sorry to say this, but if the thief's story is true (and why would he leave stuff in a bush?), then whoever found the stuff in the bush was either honest or dishonest.


If he or she was honest, then they would have handed the stuff in to the police immediately (or very soon afterwards) or at least reported that they had found it.


If he or she was dishonest, then they would have kept it or disposed of it for money, and aren't very likely to respond to an appeal for its return, on Twitter or not.


I really really hope you get it back, Bunty, but I don't think the chances are too high unfortunately :-S

    • Suggest, speak to: 1. The Modern House - we successfully used them as have friends. 2. Agents in areas that have larger amounts of former industrial building conversions who steer buyers looking for type of property v location.
    • Thank you for the feedback! Helps to see we're not alone. The only good experience we had was Modern House. Anyone tried Strike/Purple Bricks/Yopa? How did it go? Anything to be mindful of?
    • Best experience we had was with Modern House. The rest of the agents around the area are appalling.... They just want their commission and not interested in getting a good deal. You'd be lucky if they pick up the phone...
    • I’d like to echo the positive comments about Trelco. I discovered that the stopcock on the rising main was leaking and was damaging the flooring in the utility room. Not having seen this thread, or any reviews for that matter,  I picked Trelco  as it was the nearest to me. It was a gamble but goodness it paid off. James was responsive and clear in what he offered. His colleague Andy replaced the offending stopcock and put in a lever valve to allow me to shut off the water easily when I go away. He did a great job, neat and tidy, he was cheerful, friendly and professional. All this within a day of contacting them. Although not an emergency it needed resolution quickly. The price charged was very reasonable indeed, especially considering the quality of the service. I am so pleased to have found such an excellent plumber.
