[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 208656, member: 1991"] We got robbed one summer evening while we were home. Because it was so hot we'd left the bedroom window unlocked and open to let the air flow through. husband was in the next room and I was in and out, to and from the bathroom. I walked into the bedroom from having a shower and if I hadn't stopped to talk to husband at the doorway, i would have seen the burglar's face and he would have seen a lot more of me (hey, it WAS a hot night!). As it was I got a good look at him from behind. I think I know who it was but we didn't have enough proof. All he got was some watches and a torch, sentimental value. If I'd been any longer in the shower he'd have got a lot more. We had a security firm quote for a system to keep us safe but we cancelled it because we worked out afterwards that the new security system still wouldn't have protected us form the burglary we did have. This is a village where people go out for the day and leave their house unlocked. In fact the neighbour we dog-sit for leaves the doors open so the dog and cat can get in and out. We've had a few burglars recently taking advantage of this, which is sad. husband is very security-conscious but in this village, having slightly more security than the house next door is generally enough.
