Morning all, dry at the mo, lets hope it stays that way for a while, need to get last few plants in now shed is in place. Would like new flower bed to one side of it so just need to place plants out how I like them and then OH can dig for me. He is off to the other GC (golf club) tomorrow so hopefully he'll do it today if the weather stays dry.
What about a pump-action waterpistol, one of those big ones, loaded with permanent dye - could be dual purpose, used for keeping cats off seedbeds and 'aiding the identification of burglars' ................... now the phrase 'cat burglar' comes to mind - too much lateral thinking

Morning all. That must have been very scary for your niece, Verdun, shame on the police. Is she going to follow it up? It'll be a nuisance for her, but as she knows the chap it could be useful. He needs a scare before he tries to burgle someone else.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
I'm afraid that if the burglar is no longer on the premises it is not counted as an emergency, particularly at night when there are other urgent calls on police time where people's safety is at risk..
It wll be followed up I'm sure.

It will be useful to ask the police for a Crime Number, as if the burglar did any damage to the roof or elsewhere, or if it turns out that anything has been taken, then they or the landlord will need it for their insurance claim. They can get a Crime Number over the phone from the police, even before the police have visited.

Unfortunately funding follows targets and they're more likely to follow up something they know they can solve and therefore add to their tally of targets met - I would think that once they know there's a positive ID they should be keen to add it to their list. If not there's that Police Commissioner who likes to be contacted - it's what he gets paid for.

Sorry to hear about your niece Verdun, hope she's ok. Bet he felt a right #**# falling off the roof!! Serves him right!
