burgled yesterday oglander

[buddug]

Levered open cleanly a locked and incredibly 'secure' double-glazed window. I was even able to close and relock it! Some time during day. Police and forensics lovely - and fast getting here. Neighbours said two dodgy young men (one black one white) came to his door about 6pm saying they were collecting for unmentioned charity, but no clipboard or anything - casing? (And please coun. James Barber, don't even think of hijacking this thread with your sodding party-political platitudes and statistics!).

I live just by you, off the top of oglander road. I went to bed early so no tv on and no car outside (left at my mums).

Our doorbell went at 8pm. I ran to the door thinking it was a neighbour friend and no one was there but the gate was wide open..

Perhaps they were seeing if we were in too :(

Edit to say: really sorry about what happened to you guys.

sorry that this has happened to you buddug.

I live near to you, heard my doorbell ring at about 6.30ish and there was no one at the door so i went out on the street and saw two groups of youngish people in light blue t-shirts with clip boards going door to door, not sure what they wanted but they did not wait long for someone to come an answer the door before going onto the next house. I don't think they are connected with budug's buglary but Saila it may have been these people that rang your doorbell...

definitely not those guys - there was no one on our street (visibly) and those charity guys left a while before.
