Definitely report it. It helps police build a more accurate report on the number of crimes and attempted crimes. Ripping your door handle of is criminal damage. The SNT might be able to come round and tell you how to make your kitchen door area more secure, although it sounds like it is secure already.

And to reiterate. it is ALWAYS important to log all such calls to the police.

If they don't turn up when they should, that's another issue.

But if every such occurance was logged then the police would be able to target their resources more appropriately.

Apparently!

But I'm now feeling very paranoid that they might come back...



Assume they will and improve you security immediately, even if it means a day off work, because you do not want to come back to a ransacked or despoiled abode, usually the damage they cause will cost far more than the security additions.

They were burglars who got spooked and ran off, they wont come back they very rarely do. Always report to the police, this is important because more often than not they have used tools to try and break the door open or perhaps used there foot to kick the door. SOCCO (forensics) will come round and they can take impressions of the tools that were used and prints off doors. They werent successful getting into your house BUT if they were a few streets down and the tools match or the foot prints then ,happy days.

You will also get a crime number and it helps the burglary squad to see what areas the active burglars are working in and also it helps you for insurance purposes.


Goodluck!

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.     
    • That’s very insulting! You are basically calling 17 million people that voted to leave the EU ‘thick’.        Brexit happened Sue.  Boring graphs!  Calling Nigel Farage a plastic patriot is also very insulting seeing as he and the Reform Party have had a landslide victory all over England.
    • These charity collectors are often classed as chuggers.  It can be scandalous that the charity/admin may keep a huge percentage of your donations and a tiny percentage is  actually given to the charity.   I can not speak for individual collectors - but it common practice.
