Please don't be afraid to come back to your home because of what has happened. I know it is very difficult, and frightening, but there are ways to beat them. Have grills installed that is the first thing, have window and door locks fitted there are links on the forum regarding good locksmiths, alarms can now be fitted which will alert you in the UK if there is a problem, fit simple devices which sound an alarm if the circuit is broken on all doors and windows, you can buy them in the pound shops in UK (when turned on and a door or window is opened the circuit is broken and an alarm sounds) it should wake you up, and scare off any would-be intruder.
As with anything there is always the exception, but on the whole no person was harmed physically, or damage done to property just because it could be, i believe this would not be the case in the UK, and i am sure without further description you all know what i mean. Crime is minimal here, and remember the forum is a place where people write items as warnings helpful advice etc, have a read through and see all the good experiences that members have, and you will see that the good far out-ways the bad, so don't let the scumbags win do everything you can to make yourselves safe, go down to Calis, sit on the beach and watch the sun set, relax, and enjoy your home in the sun. regards Mia
