FIRST: This happened in Ascot – but the advice is useful for everyone:
ASCOT:
14/5 Saturday 2.45 a.m. Coronation Road. Attempted burglary. The owner was awoken by a noise and went to investigate. They looked out and could see torchlight and two figures outside. They found the rear door open, but no-one inside the property. They ran outside and saw a black, hybrid Porsche driving away. If you hear someone in the house – what do you do ! You do not go down with a baseball bat ! You turn the lights on, turn up a radio loud, put a chair under the door handle and lock the door – shout for someone to release the Alsatian and dial the police on 999 and explain there is a possible burglary in progress. This is why you always take your mobile phone up to bed with you – landlines, may have been cut ! You do not go down and confront an intruder, or put yourself at risk. That is a job for the police

A very young sounding woman said that a strange cat had got into her garden and as she saw that the owner had a cat flap, she wondered if she had lost her cat . The owner asked her to describe the cat. The description did not match their cat and added that their cat was a tabby. The woman the said that it could be a tabby. The owner asked if the cat was injured and the woman said no. the owner then asked the woman - where is your garden ? She said next door .
