Such a sad state of affairs. Do you have a rear garden? If so, how did they get into that?

I need advice please have just called the police and I am awaiting a reply. I didn't realise who it was at first a man going past with 2 children asked to use my phone I refused,but he was quite persistent I eventually got through to him no he isn't coming in my house. I called the woman a FS I found out through others the woman involved her address I discreetly followed him home and he went back to the address I found out about. the police have all of this information my biggest worry is him damaging my car since I called his wife a name not knowing it was his wife who robbed me until I followed them home. I also have to go back to work Tuesday next week and I will be gone for several hours I am in fear of being robbed while I am away. how would you lot handle this ? thanks

What ever you know, you need to tell them and be somewhat pushy with them - stand for no nonsense. Today, they tend to just dish out crime number for insurance claims and want to leave it at that.

I feel for you we have this happen all the time now down in the village. I am lucky theh wont walk all the way up the hill to our place.
We have had trouble a few times fuel going out of cars, kids bikes gone. Had bits go out the workshop have to keep it lock all the time we are not here now.
I have a baseball bat in the workshop and one by the front door and I know 2 wrongs dont make a right but I would and have used them.
I am lucky in the way the scumbags around me know what I am like so they tend to leave me alone. We had a car go missing about 4 years ago, I found out who had, had it then sat in the village and waited for him to walk along. I pinned him up against a wall with the nudgebars of my shogun. I got my car back that afternoon. Never had a problem with the family again.

had a long conversation with the police they said they cant do anything until the investigating officer is back on duty on Monday

but if there are any further problems to dial 999 if I get suspicious of anything.

Even if you cannot keep one, put up a large clear sign which says 'beware of the dog'. We have two, but the sign alone keeps most of the uninvited well away.
