Just days into 2009 and the burglaries are off to a fine start.

Only two days ago my neighbour was burgled around tea time, hardly even dark. One problem is that alarms go off so regularly that little attention is paid to them, why is that? Would’nt we like to think that if it were our house somebody would take a look, of course we would.

Perhaps the blame lies with those owners whom let their alarms run for so long and so often when nothing but a fault has occured, as then we become complacent.

To follow this we today received a flyer from Leicestershire Constabulary….NO LIGHTS ON !! If we think no one is home, so will BURGLERS! As my daughter has poitned out, the offending thieves will have received this flyer too, and if they burgle homes at tea time under a street lamp then a light in a window does not really concern them at all.

Remember that they watch who does what and when!!
