This is the first time I have been burgled but it was not what you might consider a typical burglary.
Even tho I have mobility issues I can manage to walk to my coop which is about 30m from my front door. I usually do not lock my front door (is still closed) due to how close it is and that I go in the day time.
So today I went to the coop, got my bits, no queue, and was easily out within a few minutes.
On the way back noticed noone anywhere near my property.
When I walked back in bedroom after putting stuff in fridge, first noticed medication bag on floor was moved, then noticed desk seemed to have empty space. My card wallet (all my debit/credit cards, plus organ donor card,and nhs card) was missing, and all 3 mobile phones missing from bedroom. Also some stuff had been stepped on and a few items moved. There is no signs of entry into other rooms but obviously I Cannot be sure. I havent noticed anything else missing, but I cannot be sure on that either, there is a few gaps in my ps3 games on bookshelf which could be taken games or maybe they were already there.
So I have spent time contacting police, banks, landlord (to arrange new lock as keys look like they got taken also) and just now whilst this post was been written lock finally got changed. I had to wait first for police to do forensics.
Personally I think someone has been watching me, rather than it been a random event, they had a window of maybe 3 minutes (if they waited for me to go in coop) or maybe 5-6 mins if include me walking there, I am a slow walker due to my health problems but I wasnt that slow today.
Yale locks auto lock when closing the door so for them to be sure the door wasnt locked I think they would have previously watched me enter without unlocking the door, and I even think it could possibly be a neighbour involved.
The police interview if called that was brief, not a lot of information taken, as always I thought of stuff to say after they had gone so I did ring them back afterwards, I wanted assurance the cctv footage to be checked (Cameras across road), to try and track my phone which is still turned on, and to speak to the investigating officer for line of enquiries I want followed. All I got told is I will be lucky if someone gets in touch by end of tomorrow.
The only company I have failed to report to is EE, it seems their call centre has been down the entire new year period. So right now not only do I have no mobile phone, but also I dont even have a new one arranged or new sim arranged. No contents insurance or phone insurance either, so over £1k of phones lost, all private photos etc. means of getting taxi's, my support worker etc. 100s of hours spent on getting phone customised for my use all lost as well. I have 2 mobile numbers so if both are going to work I am actually going to need 2 phones, a nightmare. Sky have probably hit the jackpot on my next landline usage bill.
I think the only hope of recovery was tracking, police not interested in that line of pursuit so realistically is lost. Lesson learned is to always lock my front door in future, even if I am just crossing the road. Contents insurance was considered in the past but the quote for this property was unreal, but I am now seriously considering phone insurance on any new phone.
