Last night our laptop was stolen. Even though someone was home, the lights were on and Andrew was in the next room. I can not believe that people are so brazen as to climb up to a window, lean in and take something off a table. We live on a main road, they would have been in clear sight of the road, yet they still climbed up and took it. I cam home to find the cord lying across the road, thinking it was funny that it looked just like our computer cord. Only to find out it was our cord.
We feel as though we have lost a little innocence we had about living in this area. We called the police as soon as it happened, they got our statement and found some prints on the window. The policeman that came to take the statement was very nice, but said that it was a common thing in this area and they have an operation in progress to try and stop it, so they appreciated us coming forward and reporting it.
I feel violated though. To know that someone could be looking through our pictures. Plus I had all my pictures of my nephew saved on there as well. It has made us more aware and we will definitely be more careful now. It almost makes you feel like a prisoner in your own home, not wanting to open the windows incase they can get in again. Other than that we had no personal files, but there was Andrew's uni work which he will have to re-type.
But what is done is done and we can't change it. At least next week when we go away we can enjoy our time and have fun, relax and hopefully not be too worried.

Bron, was sorry to hear about the laptop. It's such an invasion to have something stolen (my car was stolen a couple of years back) and it's unsettling.
At least no-one was hurt.
That's bad, Bron. So sorry to hear. Helen's cello bow went missing this week, as did some cards from my wallet, so we feel your pain! Hope you're able to still keep up the blog.
