Okay so I'm posting this here as I am hoping for some sort of comfort. I've recently moved into a new house on my own with my toddler. I delayed moving as I needed to paint and buy furniture, so today as my bed was put up, I decided it would be my first night at the new place. As I got to the front door I noticed a random screwdriver hanging out of the window, together with marks at the side of the window. I knew instantly that someone had tried to break in but failed. I rang the non emergency police number and informed them, sadly as my father in law removed the screwdriver from the window while I was on the phone(he was helping me move), forensics team couldn't get any dna as it had already been tampered with. I was soo nervous and anxious the whole night thinking the person would return, however they didnt(thank God). I've ordered a ring bell system to provide extra comfort. Landlord says the thief could have seen the house empty for a while plus the box I was using to cover the window in the front room, indicating it was empty.
Anyone else had a burglary or an attempted one?
