OT
an unwelcome surprise
WSA adsense code -->I’ve been away on a business trip for the last couple of days, and when I came back to my house this evening it was dark and absolutely tipping it down with rain. I went into my bag, took out my keys, and unlocked the door. When I reached for the door handle to open the door, I discovered it wasn’t there.
Someone has very generously unscrewed the door handle and then attacked the door with something like a chisel in an attempt to break in. They didn’t manage to, and thanks to some handle swapping antics that I got up to with the invaluable help of my friend, I was finally (an hour later) able to get in to my house.
I haven’t quite decided what the lesson is here yet, but I’m not exactly a happy bunny.

Which is a pity, because happy bunnies are so cute!
That really sucks about your handle. At least they didn’t actually get it. :-/
Here’s a classic bunny pic…I don’t know if it’s happy, but it’s cute. http://mikedaisey.com/images/pancake_bunny.jpg
Thankfully they didn’t get it! That would have been awful! Hopefully you can get this sorted out and it does not happen again.
Sorry to hear that but glad they did not get in. Did you file a police report?
That is scary… I’d be very careful. You never know who is watching as burglars scout…
Glad you are okay.
Thanks everybody.
I haven’t filed a police report yet, I’ll attempt to get round that at some point as I think I need to get a new door and I’ll probably have to claim for that on the insurance.
Oh Plonkee, I’m so sorry - it must have been quite scary to discover that when you got home! Stay safe!
Many years ago, my house was broken into and, luckily, not too many items got stolen. However the biggest lesson that I learn that day was to keep my house content insurance up to date, and relevant to what is in the house. Mine wasn’t so I was out of pocket several hundred dollars.
I am sorry to hear that you had an almost-break in.
