attempted break in mamora rd

[aml1910]

Just a warning to all to be extra vigilant / safety conscious at the moment!

We were out last night and came home around midnight to discover that our front door wouldn't close properly. A huge muddy footprint (half wiped off) was over the keyhole area and the door was misaligned off the steel frame so had quite clearly been kicked with some force.

Car was on drive, all lights were on etc & babysitter was inside - so whoever attempted to get in wasn't put off by the fact that people were home!!

Luckily our door is very secure (although still had to be repaired today)so guessing it was a single attempt, no luck, so left immediately?

Have notified police but thought should let others know to be aware!

They would only slap their wrists. Oh, for my firing squads.

Great advert for having strong doors, great locks, Manchester and London bars.

Police said they are seeing a lot of this in Dulwich Village at the moment and mostly it is to get in and grab car keys to take that.

Took photos of footprint etc and recommended getting a car steering wheel lock as often that's a good deterrent to anyone trying to break in in the first place!
