hi. i am living in R1 and the breaking ins are regular. and the burglars are two of them english, and one of them a young buy foreign. the young have a black pegoute. i think the young works with the builders because i saw him there regulary.
I couldnt get the registration number yet, but just watch out everyone.
The broke in through the back, just smashed the window in and climbed in, and the day before they broke in to the groundfloor apartment climbed up on the aircon and went in through the kitchen window. they can easily pop that.
3 weeks ago on an other flat they went in with a key.
so just have the alarmes sorted, because most of the apartments has got the alarmes inside just not been installed fully and they dont work.
and get grilles everywhere even in the washroom in the back of the kitchen.
they dont go to empty houses only to the one where is people on holiday.
most of the break ins happened just a couple of hours after they got here, and went out for dinner, or the next day when they went out.
so if you are on holiday take all your cash with you they dont really want anything else.
Well, not normally but actually on sat night they went in one of them they toke after shave, cash, pair of trainers, a pair of knickers (yes you read it right.how sick is that?),mobil phone, the hire car, and all sort of things but left the passports the ipods, the psps.
So just be very careful, and watch out for the black pegout!!!
