There is nothing worse than the feeling of coming home to a house that has been broken into. This happened to my parents place and I was the first one home. You don't know if they are still in there or not.

Its a heck of a shock to turn around at 3am and see someone standing about 10m behind you, unfortunately dont have a dog to warn me. My hearing isn't the best either, unfortunately... If he had other plans, he could have knocked me on the head and i would never have known he was there...
On the plus side, he didnt see me until i got to within 2m of him, so i guess the Light Pollution at my place mustn't be as bad as i thought...

Time for some infra-red cameras and motion sensitive lights I guess. And a more alert guard dog as Casey is almost totally deaf these days.

I guess that would explain the response from the police. Within a couple of minutes there were three cars on scene patrolling the area both in-car and on foot.. An amazing response on what i thought would have been a fairly minor complaint...
Fingerprinters got a promising set from the Colourbond fence he grabbed to steady himself when he tripped as he bolted... Fingers crossed..
