Thank you for reminding us all to be careful - it is a sad state of affairs that we are being advised not to wear anything which even looks valuable, items that have. been bought with hard earned money.
We live in a residential area and on arriving home the other day, a very observant neighbour of ours came across to tell us that an Irish man and his young son (I assume our neighbour heard them speaking to each other) stopped in a white van outside our house and the man lifted the boy over our gate (which is alway kept locked). Our neighbour came across and asked what he was doing, at which the man replied that the boy had lost his ball into our garden, and that he had permission from us to enter ! This of course was untrue, our neighbour said ‘I don’t think so ! at which the two of them got back in the van and left. We know that none of our neighbours have any children staying with them at the moment and the incident has rather unsettled me ! so a quick reminder to everyone to lock doors, gates, windows, grills etc when going out ! not wearing any watches, rings, necklaces etccc☺️
