Through the roof! ๐
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 ๐
I'm home now til Mon, need to speak to neighbours and go to local Police station to make a report.

Seems more like, kids just mucking around...i.e. re-enacting a scene from mission impossible or some video game...who knows. Do you keep a ladder in your backyard in view? If so, lock it away. If not, is there anything else that might allow someone to climb on to your roof?
If not....then it may Be nature.
Do you have possums living nearby? or even in your roof?. Depending on where you live, a possum might have decided to move in if the tiles were loose....? We regularly have a fat possum & his brood stampede across our colorbond roof...sounds like a herd of elephants. - just saying they like hanging around on roofs & they can remove tiles if they're loose.
Get your OH or BIL to go up in the roof & take a look around. If something or someone has been in there, it will be fairly obvious.
may be kids mucking around?
BIL says they were not loose and couldn't be nature.
i haven't heard any strange noises, but I do crash by the time I've worked and dealt with 2 teens & a baby!
From BIL observations yesterday, no one has gotten into the house. Maybe they were interrupted or change of heart?
i just don't know ๐
you need to put a whacking great carpet python in the roof cavity.
haha, omg..... Think I'd be more scared of that than an intruder!!!
i have been trying to load some pics but the iPad isn't co-operating!
thanks Sandy.
i had my doubts about his mental stability, he's taken the break up so hard.
i know he has been parked in another street watching me and tries to keep me at home waiting for him to visit hiss daughter, if he knows I've got a P-T apt he will deliberately come late!
he has ranted about me wanting to see " other guys" but not shown any signs of violence against me. I don't feel at all frightened of him, just feel sorry for him.
all I can really do is report every/anything that concerns me.
i just can't believe he would do something like that?!
Kylie, that's how my cousin's ex acted. Followed her and spied on her for 6 months and the minute she went to dinner with someone else (the taxi driver saw him in the garage when he picked them up), he broke in and was waiting in the roof. Don't mean to scare you but please be vigilant. If you remember, she is no longer with us. She was like you, clean living, beautiful and very kind to everyone.
I think you're doing the right thing...i.e. ruling out what it may or may not have been.
Think about the spy cams - Parents have them to spy on babysitters so why not on ex spouses to prove stalking? I don't know much about spycams, but I know it's possible and all you need is proof and he's gone.
Film evidence is pretty hard to dispute & it would amount to a breach of AVO if you have one & no doubt proof of stalking if he's persistent.
Ever considered getting a Rottweiler? They're great family dogs and nobody argues with 'em.
Nobody's breaking into this house = you'd never make it out alive....lol
