A really rubbish day

Thank you for the kind words all. The Police have been absolutely outstanding and it's provided a sobering reminder of those out there still doing tough jobs whilst I've been safe in my bubble at home.

They found my wife's car and recovered it - just waiting on forensics to be completed now before we get it back. My wife has also deep cleaned our bedroom to help us get through the impact of it, if that makes sense. The value of items stolen is low but unfortunately included the watch my wife got me on our wedding day. The razors and soaps are safe though!

@merchant_seaman thank you. The car was recovered in Whitleigh but strangely has been recovered to Bodmin - @Blademonkey part of the world.

We've had a terrible day today. We were burgled whilst in our house this morning. We live in a split level house and were all downstairs when some heartless individual entered our house, ransacked our bedroom and stole my wife's car. The belongings can be replaced but the feeling of violation, particularly with the kids in the house, is the worst thing. It happened in daylight hours ~8am as well.

I'm not sure why you all need to know this but being able to share it helps me cope somewhat.

Chris, I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to imagine what you and yours are going through.

My kindest regards,

Stephen

So sorry to hear that. What on earth possesses some people is beyond comprehension! Let's hope Karma prevails. Take care all of you and stay safe. Kindest Regards Brian

Ah the British police, painstaking and implacable, hopefully they'll sort them out.

The police hub / headquarters at Bodmin contains all the specialist bods, it's not a walk in police station as such so that's why you car would have been taken there Chris. P.
 
I'm sorry to hear this terrible news Chris

These miscreants deserve to be severely punished for the grief they have caused to your household .
unfortunately, the law doesn't prescribe a suitable punishment for such crimes these days

Scum
 
A quick update on this - whilst we're still suffering delays on insurance resolutions due to Covid-19, the Police have continued their outstanding form and caught the individual responsible thanks to DNA. He's a 56 year old who has been stealing for drugs since his teen years. He's now in HMP Exeter awaiting his trial later in the month.
 
It's taken nearly 3 months but we've finally got closure today. My wife's car was returned to us last week, the wayward individual pleaded guilty in court yesterday and I finally got my car back today. I feel like we can finally put this behind us now.

One of our responses to this was installing a Ring doorbell. They're fantastic and I'd recommend them to anyone. Not just a peace of mind device but makes life generally easier (particularly with our split level house).
