Morning all. We've been burgled .
It could have been a lot worse, they haven't taken the computers or trashed the place, just a number of very small and portable electrical items - two ipods, a set of ipod speakers, a digital radio and a digital camera. Luckily I took my bag including wallet/cards and my mobile up to bed with me last night and those didn't go, nor did dp's laptop despite it being out on the table. The front sash window downstairs was forced, with a cut chord, and left slightly open. The possibilities are that it happened yesterday afternoon and we didn't notice the window or the missing stuff, or that someone got in during the night and took stuff from the entrance to the bedroom just a few feet away from dp's side of the bed and D's cot. Very scary.
What's upsetting me is that someone was able to just get in like that, I feel stupid, and the loss of a couple of things I use a lot and feel lost without. I'd only taken a handful of camera photos since the holiday ones etc and so not many that haven't been downloaded - I often just use the phone camera.
dp's managers have agreed that he can take the day off which is just as well, as I feel very shaken by it all and it means I can take D out of the house today - we should be able to sort out something over windows tomorrow.
We do have contents insurance but I think I'll probably fall foul of their conditions in terms of security.
