[Doctor Gollum]

Some scrotes have done mum's place over again, and nicked her safe.  Sod all of value in there, but it's gonna be at least £2k for a new front door, and then the emotional costs.

I suspect the old bill will muster up enough enthusiasm to give her a crime number.


The police really need to get a better handle on this shit.  Sat with thumbs up arses only encourages it to happen more.

Have you considered fitting a couple of alarm bell boxes with flashing LED front and rear on all the time
(not an alarm system if too complicated for her)
video door bell ,TAPO one is subscription free  (micro SD card) and very good

Tapo do some decent AI PTZ outside cameras too

my deter the scum

The only thing that will deter them is the fear of being caught. That's not gonna happen, is it?

If one of them disappears it might...

But that's not going to happen, either.

I doubt they would "fear" being caught by the police 
strait out on bail ,court date months away while the police /CPS decide not to do anything ,drop the case

Yes, Dave, but it's very inconvenient for them. You can't go about your burgling as usual when you're out on bail. You might get caught again and be remanded into custard. Best to just not get caught in the first place and, let's face it, the chances are vanishingly small.

Eon again.

Gas smart meter no communication from meter to them, made arrangements for them last month to sort or exchange the unit but no one turned up.

New appointment today for 8am to 10am  and yes no one turned up yet again.

Just on the phone making a 2nd complaint.

I had EON as my energy supplier a while back. Bloody useless shower of shit. Failed to send a bill for around 9 months, even after repeated requests and then when they finally did, demanded payment in full in 14 days.    Negotiated a payment time frame and when i'd paid it up, told 'em to fark off. 

[Mr Skrunts]

Some of my bill gets paid from the money I get back for complaining to them

How come BBC can uncover illegal workers for the police to arrest? Why aren’t the police doing that?

Three arrests after BBC investigation into criminal network on High Street

The house and outbuilding are alarmed.  We're considering a doorbell and external camera with a cloud subscription so as not to be prone to the evidence being removed.  Though, as little bro who lives next door discovered, and who has full CCTV covering his home, outbuildings and grounds, the old bill ain't interested.  They said they know who the culprits are, but chances of a successful conviction are low, so they just give out a crime number.

Disgusting 
TAPO do do a cloud storage option with subscription fee IIRC about 3 quid a month
the video doorbell is 'bricked' if removed and can only be  'un-bricked' from the administrator's Phone AP
I'm NOT a TAPO sales rep on commission, just suggested because it works well for me .
(the AI tracking keeps an eye on my 82yo mum with Dementia& Alzheimer's with phone notifications)
I do have mesh wifi with ethernet backhaul though ,so pretty stable ,and additional wired CCTV

plenty of other makes available though .as i'm sure you're aware of

I personally use a lot of tapo stuff, particularly their smart sockets and bulbs.  In my case, I keep them on an isolated network, as, well, they are chinky.

I wouldn't mind betting she'll end up with the expensive Ring or Blink stuff, mostly because my other remaining bro uses those devices, and as he's retired, will likely be him setting it up.  Whatever it is, it needs to be perfect and reliable due to distances required to "pop over" to fix it.

[Doctor Gollum]

Did they happen to give you their names and addresses with the crime number

Ours is covered on the home insurance, but with an excess of £250 I'd have to have an awful lot of food in there to make it pay

£500 excess, so no chance of a claim.
