..check your security. We were burgled (not too much taken as burglar disturbed midway) while we were in the house. Look to have: Good outward signs of security like well bolted garden gates, dead locks instead of yale locks, not leaving keys, bags and valuables near back door, lock your important documents away. I know this is all obvious, but learn from my mistakes!
And if I had another piece of advice..don't expect insurance companies to cover anything and don't phone them unless you intend to claim because the phone call will register as a claim and bump your premium up with them or on competitors quotes. Ugh.
