That is the third break in I have heard of, all during the day. All ground floor via a balcony.
Patio door and window locks work very well, if the shutters are left up, a theif can visually seem them and know the door or window can not be forced up. Personally I dont like bars as prefer to feel I'm on holiday than in jail!
I too have a gut feeling its some one who has worked in DV.
I think I will bring over a mini CCTV system when next over.
The barriers are always open during the day.
