Both my wife were fast asleep upstairs when they broke in and had the car keys. They ignored the three mobile phones, a laptop and my wifes purse with £100 in notes poking out the top of it all sat on the kitchen table. The sole aim was to take the car and the Police said that they would have been watching for a while and that they would have already been round the back of the house on a number of occasions to check out the type of locks, and the lack of house alarm and dogs.
Looking at next doors CCTV footage, two masked men walked down the driveway, climbed over the locked side gate, snapped the lock on the back door, searched the cupboards in the utility room, then the cupboards in the garage, then all the cupboards in the kitchen then walked into the hall and found the keys in a Faraday pouch on the book shelf under the stairs and out.......all that in just four minutes
The first I knew was when I got up around 3 am to go for a wee and peeked out of the bedroom curtains as you do and the car was gone!
