I'm sorry that happened, it's upsetting to lose things of family value. Most of the crimes here are "opportunistic" ie. they hang around waiting to find somewhere to break into and usually get into several in one area in quick succession. The police in my case were good, arrived within 10 minutes, said they had no hope of finding the culprits and sent a finger print expert who said there were no fingerprints. But then if they had caught the person, I wouldn't have got anything back and our system of justice doesn't strike me as enlightened, so what is the point. Car vandalism here is so frequent there is no point even reporting it to the police, they don't want to know, and I never claim on insurance as it just affects the premium so it's cheaper just to pay for repairs.

So many people get burgled here around Christmas, it's put me off going away from home during that time, burglars just look out for homes with no occupants over the holidays.
