"Could you ask the housing to install a security light by your front door? " If they won't ask permission to put your own up. If you don't have the tools and knowhow (it's a fairly straightforward job) then ask on here - there's a community of good samaritans on here all skulking around behind the masks of sex fiends! | |||

"Both my security lights are broken so need to get them fixed ASAP, a CCTV system I will definitely be getting too. My minds ticking as to who it might be and if was i being watched . Probably just an opportunist. Do you have bolts on the door too? " Sturdy bolts will defeat any burglar who wants to enter your house while you're asleep. Get some as long as you can and remember they're only as strong as whatever they're fasten to so get them set onto the wall and not just the door frame. Don't forget the back door too. | |||

Might be an expensive outlay but well worth it for the peace of mind | |||

"Until you get something sorted. Hand something heavy off the door handles on a piece of string, so if the handle us tried the object drops onto something like an old pan and makes a noise. A simple deterant as burglara dont like noise" Got a huge and heavy book case in my hall way. When that falls it feels like a earth quake and sounds like thunder. Going to put that in front of the door for a few nights. I am sleeping down stairs while my kids sleep in their rooms, any one trys again this evening I will be ready for them. | |||

"Sorry to hear that happened to you. I don't have a big strong male of the human variety, but I have a 98lb male Rottie who is very protective. Anyone breaking in will end up with more than they bargained for ![]() You don't really need an aggressive dog just a bloody noisey one I have a Labrador who does not have an aggressive bone in his body but he's gobby, every time he hears a noise he's running about barking, jumping up the door, no one would come into my house with that racket on the other side, funny thing is if they did he wouldnt harm them but they don't know that | |||

"Could you ask the housing to install a security light by your front door? " I remember reading somewhere that thieves prefer houses with security lights. It means they have a better view of the house they are trying to enter and any trip hazards by the door. | |||

My house is like Hotel California, you can 'check out' anytime you like, but you can never leave. ![]() Probably some truth in that, but noise wakes me up and even my bedroom door slightly opening wakes me up. Plus you can't see them just looking at my bed, I'll take my chances until I get a dog. Actually then I'd probably end up running downstairs screaming don't hurt my dog. ![]() | |||

"Sorry to hear that happened to you. I don't have a big strong male of the human variety, but I have a 98lb male Rottie who is very protective. Anyone breaking in will end up with more than they bargained for ![]() You might be surprised. Even very soft dogs can be very territorial and protective. My ex-bfs family had a lab without an aggressive bone in her body. One night the father left to go out to a meeting, leaving the house empty but for the dog. He got down the drive only to realise he'd forgotten something so rather than back up, he walked back to the house. As he let himself in, 35kg of black lab flew through the air and landed on him, growling, knocking him flat on the floor. She'd heard him drive off and hadn't heard the car come back so she'd thought it was an intruder. Apparently you've never seen such a sheepish, apologetic dog. | |||

"Thank you all for your advice, my housing have just been round and gave me new locks plus a chain on the door. Think he felt sorry for me to be honest. Bolts will be added to back door as well as one to my front door. They even booked a job for my security lights to be fixed. On speaking to my neighbours I have found out that two properties have been burgled only last week in my road. Both occupants were in the house at the time. I don't really speak to my neighbours so there was no way of me knowing this to be prepared. My brother will stay with me for a few days until I relax a little ![]() Would suggest that you find your local martial arts center and either think about taking it up or see if they have a basic self defense classes. It one thing keeping them out and I totally agree with all said, it's another if they get in or try to attack you as ur opening the door to go in which has happened to a few people I know. ![]() | |||

May I suggest that if you can afford it (time and money) get yourself a dog and teach it to bark whenever anyone comes to the door, they are the best burglar alarm and deterrent going!;-) | |||

"join a local shooting club - get a shotgun certificate and keep your gun at home - can be very useful for self-defence when needed - afraid that's what this country is coming to - hope you ok now x" She has children in the house. A two year old in the US died when his parents left him sat in the front of their car whilst they loaded it and he found the gun in the glove box. To get a licence for a gun in the UK you need to undertake to keep it secured in a locked gunsafe when at home and not being used for the purpose you got it (ie target shooting or hunting). | |||
