Is it the same for everyone that it's not the getting your stuff nicked bit that worries you but the fact people have been in your house, going through your things and then you still have to live there knowing that?
From a completely selfish point of view I find it even worse that it's my Nanna's as it's a place that means so much to me with childhood memories and just generally good times. Obviously I realise that it's lucky that this is the only issue as it could have been much worse.
I found out that she walked into the house and initially thought it was my cousin who visits her once a week but she was savvy enough to twig something was up and back out of the house and call for my my uncle (who wasn't there). Thankfully the cowards were outsmarted by an 88 year old. She hasn't said anything bad about them just that she's glad it wasn't worse and wanted to stay there last night. Tough as strawberry float.
