Maureen we are devastated to hear this sad news and really feel for you and the others involved, lets hope a concerted effort by everyone, will lead to the arrest of these total scumbags, as someone KNOWS who is responsible. We will speak to you soon.
For everyone elses information, this property was one of three targetted that evening, with two being burgled and one unsuccessful attempt. All three property owners were together the evening concerned at a local restaurant, with three other couples, when the burglaries took place. Someone local KNOWS who is responsible, as the odds of randomly selecting these three properties, must be highly unlikely. I do not wish to spread panic, but what with the xmas season upon us, I would be extremely careful, of letting others know of your evening plans and arrangements.
I muted last year, the idea of a large reward for the arrest and conviction of those responsible for the burglaries, with the involvement of local businesses, (due to loss of potential revenue, as some may not wish to leave their properties empty) and I now think this time has arrived.
