That's scary stuff.

The neighbours got broken in to & a few months later someone went through our car...thought it was the kids at first. We live down a long shared drive. My FIL put a gate up for the kids & it can be a bit hard to open if you don't know how. But since the car episode we now double check things...got a bit relaxed when we lived in the country ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:03:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113779&title=lock-your-doors#1113779 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : It is in Burwood around by Horseshoe...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113727&title=lock-your-doors#1113727 Author: GuestGuest

I make sure I keep all doors etc locked during the day and never open any of the front windows. OK to open back windows cause if anyone jumped the fence into our back yard they'd have my dog to contend with and I'm pretty sure they'd come off 2nd best. But my Mum was home a few months ago out in her garden and came inside to find someone had stolen her cellphone, her digi camera and my little sisters iPod off the kitchen table. Fair to say she was freaked out! ]]> Fri, 30 Jul 2010 11:20:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113666&title=lock-your-doors#1113666 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : We had someone send a child (about...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113220&title=lock-your-doors#1113220 Author: M2K

We had someone send a child (about 10 yrs old) over just before we got robbed to case the place, he was checking the windows, and when I confronted him he asked for the time, I didn't catch where he came from (as there were heaps of flats) but the cops caught the guy who robbed us and he did live around the corner. I moved not long after as I didn't feel safe, had a feeling it was one the 2nd neighbour down ''contacts".

I felt that frightened to stay there by myself, i can't even imagine being home while someone is going through your stuff, how awful ]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 21:17:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113220&title=lock-your-doors#1113220 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : Yeah we had a guy doing this a...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113122&title=lock-your-doors#1113122 Author: High9

Yeah we had a guy doing this a few years ago and someone reported him and the police were door knocking warning people jic.

Also 3 of our neighbours got robbed last year during the day whilst at work. The guy could pick locks too.

During the day people usually just walk up to the house, knock on the door and if no one answers go round back. Or they watch the house for a few days. So scary. ]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 20:24:51 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1113122&title=lock-your-doors#1113122 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : I read in the newspaper, sometime...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112823&title=lock-your-doors#1112823 Author: M2K

I read in the newspaper, sometime last year, that a elderly lady was at home watching tv when she seen a man crawling around in her kitchen, trying to pass by the lounge to go into the bedroom!!! She asked him "what are you doing??" to which he replied he was looking for his lost dog. He then took off so she called the police, and she said he was clearly drunk or on something, looking for money.

How freaky would that be! ]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:26:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112823&title=lock-your-doors#1112823 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : I keep the doors shut unless I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112804&title=lock-your-doors#1112804 Author: amme_eilyk

I keep the doors shut unless I am in the same room as the door that is open, it is too easy for someone to come in and you not to hear them. I'm getting a cat door put in tomorrow hopefully which should help as dh tends to leave the door open all day which drives me nuts. I also shut and lock the door and take a house key with me if I am in the garden out of sight of the door as even with the back door you can see its open from the street.]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 16:11:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112804&title=lock-your-doors#1112804 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : Haha TaliP thats a great story...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112762&title=lock-your-doors#1112762 Author: MamaT

The next door neighbours cat was trying to come through my Mum and dads window one night, they have screens on their windows so it was making lots of noise. My Dad thinking it was a burglar banged on their bedroon wall but did it just a bit too hard and put a hole in the wall!!
I walk out and leave doors unlocked/open all to reguarly during the day but am very vigilant at night. Need to be way more careful!]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 14:46:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112721&title=lock-your-doors#1112721 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : TaliP wrote: Kazper wrote:OMG...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112712&title=lock-your-doors#1112712 Author: Hopes

Hehe My sister did the exact opposite, she left her window open and in the middle of the nigth woke up to what she thought was a hand reaching through behind the curtain - she walloped it!

Haha, TaliP, that's hilarious - sounds like something I would do.

Someone breaking into my house while I'm in it has been my biggest fear ever since about the age of nine. I grew up in South Africa though and knew multiple people who had this happen to them, so my fears were not completely unreasonable. I do not know what I would do if it happened.

Now I am super-vigilant about locking doors. Twice, I've come home to see the door wide open and I nearly threw up I was so scared. Went inside, nobody was there, nothing at all had been taken either time (all valuables were lying out in the open, plain to see, so I'm quite sure nobody was in there)... Figured out it must have been my husband who didn't pull the door shut properly before he left the house (it has a deadbolt so you need to click it in properly). I was so not impressed with him. Now I am the one who closes the doors when we leave the house. ]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 13:25:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112638&title=lock-your-doors#1112638 <![CDATA[Lock your doors! : My grandparents have had a lot...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112632&title=lock-your-doors#1112632 Author: tictacjunkie

Our neighbour was robbed on Sat night while they were asleep upstairs in their beds

They had forgotten to lock their back door and the guy walked in and took a wallet and camera, looked around and left again. They have security cameras around their house so saw the whole thing - he turned up about 2am, walked around checking all of the car doors on the drive and checked the house doors until he found one that was unlocked. I'm guessing he walked around the streets doing the same thing to other houses after he left

A good reminder to check all of your doors and windows before you go to bed...I sure did last night! ]]> Thu, 29 Jul 2010 11:34:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=34963&PID=1112503&title=lock-your-doors#1112503
