Burglary on "Toastrack", SE5 - 22/23 May 2018

I thought I would post this as a heads up for all locals.

We were burgled in the early hours of this morning. Luckily we both woke up and my husband managed to keep him in a room until the police arrived.

It seems he "slipped" the front Yale lock whilst his mate kept a lookout - unfortunately the lookout ran off as soon as he got whiff that their plan wasn't quite going as intended...

Anyway, a heads up to everyone to please double lock / bolt / deadlock all windows and doors, even front ones.

Stay safe all.

Great result, but you both must be pretty shook up.

Hope the good weather comes back so you can have a nice day out and begin to put it behind you.

Thank you se22cat - yes a horrible experience but at least we know they've got him.

Just frustrating to think that if we'd deadlocked the front door it wouldn't have happened hence the shout out - it's so easy to get complacent

I would not have a normal Yale setup ever again - once you have a deadlock system, you realise how shoddy most lock setups really are
