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.

Kylie, maybe go and phone the police ? Like.....now ?
ok.... Just got off phone.
called the local police station and they advised to called the Police Assistance line 131444
spent 20+ mins going through everything and have lodged an official report (malicious damage) and they send it through to local who will keep on file and also put my address on list for drive by checks.
i did mention the ex, but I didn't want to sound accusing, just gave facts of separation and that he hasn't taken it well and acting out of character. She has noted that a neighbour reported to us and that we have photos.
i didn't know there was a manhole bolt, I will get one ASAP.
i also need to chain up or put a wheel lock on trial empty trailer sitting upside the house, as it was pointed out that if they were to come back to collect they could easily discreetly load my household up in trailer and drive right off..... Sounds unlikely to me, but want to take all precautions.
Kylie did you change the locks on the doors after your ex left?
I would be letting the police know your ex is hiding in nearby streets watching your movements.
yes, locks are changed.
have also just bought a new security screen door to be installed as my current one doesn't lock and sometimes doesn't close properly.
def mentioned the ex in my report, but still find it hard to believe he would do something like this?
Kylie, I take it that someone's checked out the roof cavity for you,to make sure no-ones in there?
yes for sure.
Hey kylie! I agree with everyone else... My first thought was the ex too. I was thinking tho he prob did it so he could get in to scare With noises you so he could be the protector and you would take him back.
Thats exactly what my side neighbour said!
i guess I can only be on the ball and record every little thing just incase it is him and he does do something shouldn't.
