Someone tried to break into my house! :(

Through the roof! 😞


Yesterday while I was at work, the neighbour across the road came over to tell my grandmother (at my house babysitting 13 month old) that there are roof tiles lifted and a big hole that will let in a lot of the rain forecast for the afternoon!?!?

She had a look and it was pretty easy to see. At the front of the house.
Luckily my BIL is a builder and once I'd had the phone calls at work, my sis phoned her hubby to pop over and check it out.

He said that tiles had been pulled off enough to let a person slip through! He replaced the tiles and sealed some cracked ones next to the removed ones.

About 20 mins later we had a quick but heavy downpour of rain so happy that he fixed it.....

But now I'm worried! Why would someone want to come in through the roof? It's pretty open at the front of the house, surely a would-be thief would go around the back where it's less open and break in through a window or back glass door?

I had trouble sleeping last night, and feel very uneasy today 😕

I'm home now til Mon, need to speak to neighbours and go to local Police station to make a report.

Someone's been in my house. The insulation is cut and the manhole frame broken where they tried to lift themselves back up and out through the tiles.

This thread is 4 years old and has no bearing on your problem.  None of the posters on here even post on the boards now.

 

If you want to discuss anything I suggest you start your own thread.

But, but, but . . . someone's been in their house and  . . . The insulation is cut and the manhole frame broken where they tried to lift themselves back up and out through the tiles.

 

They tried to lift themselves back up . . . . and failed? . . . oh no! . . . they might still be in the house. Smiley Surprised
