Yes, thanks to all the people who have advised us to change our locks! We kind of twigged that they had our front door key and that it wouldn't be good to leave that as the status quo! My car has gone off to get new locks fitted too, as well as having the front and back doors' locks replaced! The police have come and done a security review and extra measures have been put in place for all the doors and windows!
So all in all the only faff was having to wait in yesterday for the locksmith to come and replace the broken/stolen locks - and I also took the battery out of my car which was unprotected on the drive when Dan's car wasn't parked behind it; I thought if the buggers were cheeky enough to come in the house overnight whilst we were there...they'd certainly be bold enough to run up the drive and nick my car whilst I was in the house! The guy from the garage who came to bring me a courtesy car and take mine away for new locks was quite surprised as I wanderd outside with the battery and a socket set as well as handing the key over to him!
The neighbours have all been very nice - we've talked about being 'more neighbourly' and watching out for each other's houses whilst they're away etc, and, one guy came over and thinks he night have seen the perpetrators.....some 'dodgy geezers' who were asking about replacing people's patio doors / french windows. A good cover story as if they went round the street doing this and then were seen breaking into ours, people would be likely to think we'd taken them up on the offer to have some patio doors replaced, and not call the police! He's passed on the info to the police anyway. We'll see if anything comes of it.
