House burglary in Oakhurst grove

[cat woman]

Just thought I'd post this to warn people that I was burgled today while out at work.

I'm on the ground floor and they got into the back garden and then tried to smash a window but finally got in by levering open another window.

They just grabbed a laptop and tv. I got home about 5.30 and found it.

Make sure side gates are locked and Windows and doors secure.

Would hate anyone else to come home to such a nasty surprise.

very sorry to hear that. It must have been awful. Hope you're ok?

[cat woman]

Thanks for your message.

I'm fine and am lucky they didn't take much and nothing of sentimental value.

Just the inconvenience of sorting out the repairs today but thankfully nothing worse.

Even if they catch the scum it'll just be a slap on the wrist. Bleeding hearts still running the asylum.

Not entirely true - we were burgled back in September in Denmark Hill and they caught the guy. Now serving 4 years, so out in about 2 minimum. Sorry to hear about your burglary Cat Woman.

I suggest any one with a flat in a terraced house with a side gate, should put some ( a lot of) barbed wire on top of the gate, or get a new side gate which is very high , paint it with anti-climb paint on both sides, and put barbed wire on top as the icing on the cake....

That might deter the burglars who are casing this street.

Best wishes
