• Break-in

    Posted by Dave & Rob Lowery on November 11, 2005 at 8:48 am

    Got to work this morning and found we have been broken into 🙁

    All filing cabinets open and contents strewed accross the floor along with the paperwork that was due for invoicing 🙁

    Doesn’t look like anything has been taken but it is going to take hours to sort out the mess. 😥

    If I catch the bar-stewards (:)

    Thats really bad luck Dave, it seems to be happening more and more, hope you get sorted soon and I also hope nothing was taken.

    🙁 what bad news! Even if nothing has been taken, the inconvenience and shock of it all will still be upsetting.
    Hope you get everything sorted and back to normal soon.

    it’s either someone disturbed them or the alarm did its job (?) or you haven’t noticed your computing missing yet!

    dave, very sorry to hear this. In some ways I am pleased that people are posting these events recently as it gives us all a reminder to double check our security.

    Sorry to hear that Dave, hope it doesn’t take too long to sort.
    Strange how they haven’t taken anything but managed to get through all those files etc, maybe looking for the cash box.

    My last place had the same break-in, whoever it was just went straight for the cash box nothing else missing.

    Good to hear about the laser being sold though.

    Cheers

    Just to let you all know where I’m up to.. SOCO has been and found out they were wearing wooly gloves. Got some good impressions of trainer marks on the paperwork so if someone is picked up for another job, they may be able to tie it in with this one. Papewrwork is almost sorted and we have found nothing missing. Police say that if I install the detterent I want, I could be prosecuted ( 12 bore on a trip wire and 240v on window mesh 😮 ). Just can’t do anything to protect property these days.

    Many thanks for your sympathy and messages of support…I knew I was in amongst friends on UKSB’s.

    Too right dave. There are a few imitators, but will only ever be one UKSB’s!

    Glad it is getting sorted mate.

    Sneaky thieving jagoffs!
    How odd that they rifled thru your paperwork like so….
    maybe it was a client trying to steal sketches/records/invoices?
    Ya never know!
    I hope they get ’em!
    Love…..Jill

    Oh no Dave what a pain!! Fluffing gruby twits!! So annoying for you.

    Had a break in three times in a row at the last place I ran …. they even stole the biscuits, sugar, teabags, coffee, washing up liquid …… 😮 along with loads of other stuff … stationery whatever they could grab that wasnt too heavy …….. they got caught on the third break in though …. drug addicts who wanted anything they could sell on or use themselves so the police told us. 👿 Trouble is you can be very saftey conscious, but as the police always told us, no matter what you do … if they want to get in they will go to any means to get in eventually.
