The Bill

We went out last night for Todd and Nicks leaving drinks. When we came home we were surprised to see the lights on in our lounge as we walked down the street (Titch was sure she had turned them off).



The communal front door was also open so with some feelings of unease we walked up our staircase and as we turned the corner we noticed our flat door was wide open! At that moment the Bill walked out of our flat to greet us. They told us our flat had been broken into and the lock on the door had been busted open.



They asked us if it was our flat and then asked us not to touch anything.... Well at this moment I am thinking the worst and had visions of a cleaned out flat ! We walked in and had a quick scan and there was nothing missing! The Bill thought that our bedroom had been ransacked but I had to explain that it was actually my wife's mess.....



The funny thing is - these guys kicked open our door which must have been propelled the guy back against the upstairs flat door which also opened with the impact. Obviously a mistake and the upstairs neighbours (who only moved in 2 days ago) were home and immediately called the police and came down the stairs and scared them off.



If the burglars had taken just one minute to look in the flat they could have easily taken a clear bag with 500 Euros, Passports, 2 ipod nanos, Titch's Wallet, PSP, Camera.... All within easy reach.



Little bit scary and we will now start using the extra dead lock that was already fitted on our door (Which we never used in the past)... Quite funny really!
