At 4-30 am we were dead to the world in the land of dreams when I thought I heard the door bell. When Tiny started to bark we knew something was wrong, as we were getting out of bed the doorbell went on and on with out a stop. Thinking it was Tina and something was very wrong we pulled dressing gowns on and opened the door.
To our surprise the young girl from next door was standing at our gate with her five year old son, finger on the bell so it was ringing continuous.
We could not get out of her what was wrong so got hr inside and calmed her down enough to get the story out of her what was wrong.
With it being so hot she had locked her grill door, but left the front door open. She had put her keys on the coffee table (about three metres away from the door) ready to lock up for the night.
She them fell asleep while watching t v, she woke up at 4-25 am to find two men in the house robbing it. When she screamed they ran out of the house taking her jewellery. Money, mobile, phones and as yet she is still missing things.
They got into the house by using a fishing rod through the open grill and hooking up her keys from the table and then proceeded to open the grill door and walk in.
They must have seen the door open and thought it a perfect opportunity to see what they could steel.
You should have seen the state she was in, she could not hold the cup of tea for shaking.
As they had taken her keys she was terrified to go back to her place in case they came back (which I can’t blame her for I would have been the same), Brian went to her place and brought every thing that could be carried into our house so I have TV’s DVD player music centre toys all in my spare room.
Her mother lives about 10 minuets walk from us, so we asked if she would like to stay at us or go to her mums, she wanted to go to her mums, but as it was still dark was to scared to walk round in case they recognised her personally I think they would be well gone but can understand her fear.
We told her there was no way we would let her walk there, that Brian would drive her to her mums.
I hope she is ok as it must have been a great shock to her, but we told her yes she has lost many things but the main thing is she and Layton her son were ok and unharmed it could have been a lot worse we could have been going to tell her mum instead of taking her to her mums. Phones and the other things can be replaced they can not be.
