Been are sharp increase over the last week or so, my parents got broken into last week, jewellery taken (including all my grandparents medals and wedding rings) and their bedroom completely turned over. They live on a busy road and were 1 of 4 houses done just on that street.
Two youngsters straight through the front door wedged open by screwdrivers, while a bloke waited outside in a car.
Just making people aware, and if you have bolts or double locks on your front door make sure you use them.

Same thing happened to my folks a few years ago, and my in laws a few months ago. Although the stupidity of the people who broke in to my parents was apparent that, when driving his car off the drive (they nicked the keys that he left in the kitchen which is an error never to be repeated again) they were clearly not used to the power of a 911 turbo and planted it into the tree at the end of the road. Guy driving it was injured and had to be cut out by a fire crew. His 'mate' did a runner on him.
I hope that the three people involved in the burglary have some very tragic news which makes them grieve uncontrollably over xmas and then their car gets flipped over and catches fire whilst they are all alive.
Horrible vile scum. Check gumtree etc for people trying to sell it off, meet them and castrate them.
Gonna keep our eyes out for stuff being sold, but the chances are very slim.
My neighbour got done last month, they only took stuff they could put in their pockets. Left ipads and cameras worth £1000's as they're too bulky.
Generally, WW2 medals have no inscription on the edges. WW1 medals generally have the service personnels name number and regiment.
However if the medals are distinctive, i.e. Military Crosses, etc then they would be more traceable.
You should always take pictures of such Items, so that you can send them to military stores, so if they are offered the items, at least they can alert the police.
Seriously though - burglary is, imo, a crime that should be punishable by death. Preferably an elaborate death consisting of something like toes being cut off and fed to them, fingers being cut off and fricasseed whilst the watch, then salt being poured into open wounds before being lowered into a river to be torn apart by piranhas.
Just hate burglars with a passion. It's one of my main reasons for thinking that all drug use should be decriminalised and regulated. Cut out junkies needing fixes and you cut burglary rates by about 90%
Glad its all good up there, got a whippet yet?
