Another Burglary

[MarillionFan]

NoSuburban terraced. Fire doors look like other doors but are solid, normally 1/2 hour. There is not much difference in price. Normally three hinges are fitted. The house was refurnished and the spec was advised. Security locks are worth the extra.



Insurance may cover about 10% of items. Some very expensive stuff taken such as antiques and jewellery but also some things that have only sentimental value such as old family photographs and Christmas cards. A painting was still left hanging, it points towards more than one person and with not mush intelligence.

What is the estimate for the amount of time it would have taken?

Somehwere between the end of Jeremy kyle and the start of cash in the attic or some such other cheap tv that tells the plebs what their tat is worth

Update

The police said that they had no clues and shut the case four weeks later. Friend's wife is still too terrified to go back so it looks that they will have to move house. After doing some amateur investigation it transpires that another house was burgled six weeks prior, again the same thief was suspected and in fact one stolen item from found in the perpetrator's dustbin. Again, the police took no action.

A local mechanic knew of the thief due to the thief's reputation of being a small time drug dealer and police informer. It was now obvious why the police did not want to do anything. The same day that a complaint was made to the police, thief and friends moved out within hours.

You have to understand there's more bonus in dealing with drug dealers than burglary. I'm sure if the higher up drug criminals were aware of the snitchy burglar, they'd be happy to take action on your friends behalf.

Calling SimonMac - here's another thread that shows the police to be a bunch of twunts.
