The lady has told me that the new alarm she is having fitted is directly linked to the local police ( stable door and horse springs to mind ) Her old alarm was so old it didn't even have the self activating bell, hence how they managed to just cut the wires.
Turns out, that the Police have a suspect. Some blood was found on some broken glass in her driveway which they DNA tested, they are watching this suspect and are hoping he is going to put a foot wrong in the next few days, then they are going to arrest him and try and get a test from him.... I hope they fling the book at the bast**d..... Doesn't get her stuff back though
