So several months on from "deciding to sell" - I, er, haven't sold!
Unfortunately though, some little sh1ts may have tried to take it off my hands for free a couple of nights ago!
So, yesterday morning - leaving the house, I noticed that the garage door was open (RS4 still inside - everything looks undisturbed, apart from a gtechniq mitt that was now on the floor - w4nkers!!).
Dashed upstairs to check the CCTV, and I see that at 3am, 3 teenage looking sh1t-bags in hoodies turned up uninvited.
One of them sat on a wall across the road, while the other 2 first tried the door handle of my wife's golf, before going to the garage. It only took them a few seconds to force open the garage door. They were inside the garage for a minute or 2, and then walked away, leaving the door half open. They looked around a bit, but didn't approach the front door of the house. They didn't take anything from the garage - although there were some items in there I would've thought they'd take.
From the CCTV, it doesn't look like they tried other houses adjacent....walked up to my house from one direction, then carried on walking up the road after they left.
I'm not sure what to make of this. Police think they were either looking for an internal door into the house (there isn't one), or checking the car is there and intending to come back (but then why leave the garage door open - so that I know they've been there?). Thoughts?
I've taken some steps to beef up security for the house, car and garage since (which, for obvious reasons, I won't be going into detail on here). However - keen to hear more ideas!
