Definitely report it. It helps police build a more accurate report on the number of crimes and attempted crimes. Ripping your door handle of is criminal damage. The SNT might be able to come round and tell you how to make your kitchen door area more secure, although it sounds like it is secure already.

And to reiterate. it is ALWAYS important to log all such calls to the police.

If they don't turn up when they should, that's another issue.

But if every such occurance was logged then the police would be able to target their resources more appropriately.

Apparently!

But I'm now feeling very paranoid that they might come back...



Assume they will and improve you security immediately, even if it means a day off work, because you do not want to come back to a ransacked or despoiled abode, usually the damage they cause will cost far more than the security additions.

They were burglars who got spooked and ran off, they wont come back they very rarely do. Always report to the police, this is important because more often than not they have used tools to try and break the door open or perhaps used there foot to kick the door. SOCCO (forensics) will come round and they can take impressions of the tools that were used and prints off doors. They werent successful getting into your house BUT if they were a few streets down and the tools match or the foot prints then ,happy days.

You will also get a crime number and it helps the burglary squad to see what areas the active burglars are working in and also it helps you for insurance purposes.


Goodluck!

    • They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss
    • We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support.  The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office.  But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from.  To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you.  Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out.  How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".
