Definitely report it dude. As you are new to the area and don't know anyone it would be best to speak to the police to at least let them know as it could be that other residents are getting targeted too. They can then add your road to their rounds and check it out every now and then to increase police presence.

I'd still report it, at the very least it might mean that they visit from time to time.

Yeah I think I will. I doubt they'll even do so much as increase patrols in the area, but I feel like I should be getting this noted with someone.

Also be careful lots of people seem to get the boiler system and pipes nicked for the copper that is a bloody pricey replacement and make sure you h e specialist insurance normal insurance only covers 30days and nights of someone not residing there

I hear you, that's my other concern right now. That said, the place is like a fortress internally - it's an old commercial property so full of lockable fire doors. Even if they break in, they're going to have some serious work on their hands to get anything of value. It's more the inconvenience / cost of having to replace the damage they cause when busting in.

It's difficult because for council tax reasons no one is living there, but the best option would be for me to spend a few nights a week there. I think I may have to bite the bullet and pay the council tax and do that, just to stop the place being busted up.

^^ I wouldn't do that mate council tax is horrid you should get 6 months 100% discount. Just get specialist insurance endsleigh I think was who I used when my mum was selling hers and you would be shocke what is value to these people when I worked for the old bill thieves love empty property. Boilers, pipes and lead flashing are all targeted which are a pain in the arse for you.

First Day Back Blues...

[Kieran76]

Waiting for people to leave is a definite irk for me. Got stuff I want to do and am just sitting around until our lass and her mate finally organise themselves and leave.

[ItsThere]

In the middle of a break up.

I own the house (bought out of London, she was a young single mum, no cash in the bank). Ended pretty badly. Here is a run down of the things she wants to take... I was basically WTF at this this morning.

The bed, duvet and sheets (I did notice the pink sheet in the laundry bag, if that could be folded and placed with my already packed stuff that would be awesome),
The pink drawers,
Headboard,
Bedside cabinets,
One clothes rail,
The union Jack boxes,
The dyson hoover,
The toaster,
The kettle,
Oven Glove,
Tea towels,
Placemats and coasters,
Saucepans, frying pans, whisk, oven trays and baking dishes (I will leave you some)
The baking/cupcake stuff in the bottom cupboard on the left, with candles etc,
The black and white plates, fish dessert plates, black and white mugs, skull glasses, the cutlery.
The bin and laundry bag,
The shoe rack,
The four dining chairs,
The sofa,
Christmas/halloween deco boxes, and christmas tree from the attic
Along with other boxes in the attic/photoalbums etc
The dali clock,
Union jack chopping board,
_ in regards to the Bookcase, I would love that, all depends on what property I find, as not sure it would fit, as now looking at studios and 1 bedrooms, if it does fit I would like to take it. If you are very apposed to this, have it, its not worth an argument.
_I would quite like a telly, I know these belong to you, but a television would not be something I would be able to afford in a long time, again this is completely your call, and we will cope fine without one if you decide not to.
Bath Mat,
Ben the stone Gremlin,
Black square bowls,
Ironing board,
Betty Boop butter dish,
Coco cola utensil holder,
Pink spatular, and I think I have one or two large spoons or something

I guess it is good she has no interest in the property but now I am left with it, responsible for all the bills and I don't really want to live there.

Going to be a long week.

[QualityChimp]

It was all fair requests until she got to the Betty Boopy butter dish.

That's off-limits man. She needs to know that's the line not to cross!

Sorry to hear things are coming to an end and on top of that you've got all this who-owns-what business to sort out.

Good luck, mate.

double post

[randombs]

Gutted for you, and judging by that list it seems she's basically just leaving the building itself. You say she had no cash in the bank to begin with but was she working while you two were together and bought that stuff or did you buy all of it as well?

If I ever get hitched first thing I'm getting is one of those Dymo label makers

p.s. could you say Ben the stone Gremlin got nicked and let me have him? He sounds like the best joypad stand ever

[NW2013]

Are you actually married? If not tell her to go F*** herself!

[dataDave]

When, during a job interview, you are asked how your current/previous co-workers would describe you in three words.

I'd say the first three-word sentence that came to mind, right now that would be "F**king **** c**t".

_I would quite like a telly, I know these belong to you, but a television would not be something I would be able to afford in a long time, again this is completely your call, and we will cope fine without one if you decide not to.

So as well as taking what looks like nearly everything she has the cheek to ask for your TV too as a favour?!
