In the morning or afternoon?

Very sorry to hear it. Goose Green end or top of the road?

It seems that multi occupied houses are particularly vulnerable as the front door does not have appropriate locks (mainly as landlords do not see security of communal areas as a priority)also tenants/leaseholders do not always double lock the main door. Once the burglars are in, they can easily access all rooms/flats in the building.

My flat was burgled once, when I arrived home found door kicked in, next door neighbour came out with a massive machete, not sure what he was going to do with that as the burglars had long gone, shit the life out of me.

Probably thought they'd come back.

Someone once showed me how easy it is to open a door if you don't engage all the security bits (double locks) - way too easy.
