Spank, sorry to hear about the theft. I must be one of the forutnate ones in that I've not suffered a break in and theft. Came close about 18 years ago when someone tried but couldn't get in. Shortly after I got a dog, and no problems since then.....but alas the last dog died before we left NZ (aged 17). Dogs are great, cos a burglar doesn't even want a small bite and they don't know what a dog will do.....and that's apart from the barking when they try to get in.
