thanks everyone for your responses. I wonder what i did in my past life to deserve this. Karma is not nice. I sit on the fence with all this stuff but i keep an open mind. Since all of this has happened i have installed deadlocks on front and back doors. I hardly use the back door and so it stays locked. The sliding doors now have locks changed and bars installed that can be locked. I have a security alarm system and have a few cameras installed. I surfed the net to try and find out how they are getting in and found that you can buy picks that pick locks and nearly all deadlocks are "pickable". Something about bump keys. If they know what they are doing its easy according to the net, scary stuff really. Oh, i have also padlocked both of my garage doors. This has been done recently so it will be interesting if more stuff goes missing. If it does, then i give up. I will call the cops and see what they think. These people are clever. They leave everything untouched except for what is in your cupboards, and they also replace things with other things of lesser value or that are similar. I hope to catch them soon or I hope i have scared them away with all of my security. There is one more thing i need to padlock and that is the electricity meter that sits on the side of the house in the front which is open to everyone. I have ordered a special padlock from the electricity company in which only electricity technicians have. I hope to get that soon.
I just want it to all go away. The worst thing they took were all of my personal papers, not sure what they were after, but i have changed all passwords and alerted all banks, they also took some of my handbags which had personal stuff in there too. I have alerted my credit rating place too. Unreal. Believe it or not, this forum helps.
