Loft hatch wifi burglar/poo leaver? Help me through the night please.

[Thattwatoverthere]

There was a thread similar to this a while back that I can't find now but I promise I'm not a copy cat troll!

Last night i noticed that the loft hatch was open in the babies room. I definitely didn't do it, OH says he didn't do it. The cupboard under the TV where the electric and wifi box are was open yesterday, again, neither of us had opened it.
I called the police to report this last night and explained that I'm often alone with an 8 week old baby and that the house is really not secure (rental). Their next steps were to raise with their team manager and to contact me within 24 hours if they felt they needed to take it further, put it on record if not. Presumably this would be useful when I've been murdered in my sleep but whatever.
I've called the lettings agent who would get someone round to look at the locks that aren't locking.
I've heard nothing back from either. My life has no value clearly.

I've been blamed twice in the last fortnight for leaving a poo in the toilet by OH when I definitely, definitely haven't. Clothes have gone missing presumed lost somewhere and the wifi speed has dropped significantly over the last few weeks.

I'm concerned.

I have a CCTV style baby monitor that wasn't being used that I've set up in the living room to monitor anyone getting in which I thought was a pretty genius idea but forgot that you can talk the other way too. Tonight I'm pretty sure someone was talking through it. OH is working away but swears that it wasn't him. I need to be brave enough to get close enough to unplug it now.

There is access through the lofts from the other houses and only one key was given from the lettings agent so presumably another key is somewhere else out there. I can always hear footsteps from the houses either side of me which used to be reassuring when I was by myself. NOT ANY MORE!

Tomorrow I'm permanently closing both loft hatches, changing all locks and learning self defence. In the meantime help me get through the night. What can I do to make it as safe as I can? or channel Kevin from Home Alone And can I do anything on the wifi to see if someone else has signed up to mine?

I was a lot braver in the daylight...

I've got my baby asleep on me and I don't think she'll be much use if I'm confronted.

OK, now I'm going to freak you all out....
A woman I worked with had lived in a flat in London, years before, on the third or fourth floor. Every day when she got home from work things had been moved in her flat. It ramped up, horrible stuff like faeces on the door handle. Police came and fingerprinted everything, but door hadn't been forced. It went on for weeks, but finally someone in another flat in the neighbourhood saw a man letting himself down on a rope from the floor above, and getting in through the window. When the case came to court he just stared at her, smiling, non-stop.

@Pinkprincess1978 I lived in many flats like that in my rental days. All older terrace houses and about 6 stories high. Really odd what you just accept when you are young!

Re doors into other flats....

A friend of ours lives in a flat above some shops in town, there are a couple more flats in the labyrinthine building. Another friend stayed over there after a party and as he went to leave opened what he thought was the door onto the main stairwell and found himself in the next door flat, face to face with the neighbours eating their breakfast. Not sure who was more shocked!

What surprised me the most was that my friend and the neighbours (who had all lived there for donkeys years) had had no idea the door was usable and unlocked as neither of them had tried it. I would have tried that door the first day I lived there :o

Juells I have a recurring nightmare that the "man made of moonlight" from Geralds game does this in my house. There is also so much poo!!!!

We rented a house last year which had a loft hatch in DD16 bedroom. She had convinced herself that there was a 'Gollum' type thing living in the loft that made blade-sharpening noises each night ....around 10:30pm as he wielded his sabre. Turned out it was just me downstairs drawing the curtains Pre-bed! 😬

One of the crazy antics the Manson gang got up to, was to sneak into peoples houses at night and just move things around. They called it "creepy crawly"
