    You're gonna tell me now that they send the csi to ordinary burglaries right? And have a 99% clear-up rate? I wasn't knocking the gards anyway. It's a burglary, there's a limit to what they can do. Anyway, your DNA comment kinda shows a lack of day to day reality. Do you live in Ireland? DNA? For a minor burglary? hah.

    Instead of sending out a csi team, maybe send out students to get some experience.
    Would make for a great tv programme aswel. Six irish forensics students (3 male & 3 female) living in a house together, going out partying and solving crimes. And finding out who left the seaman stains on the sheets.

    CSI Tallaghtfornia.

    i had a window broken by thugs, the guardai ignored it and fathers making a complaint to the ombudsman

    What goes around comes around.

    Very true... It might take days/weeks or even years... chances are they will get caught doing something else. The only problem I have with that is, even if they are caught at a close by address, the guards can try and pin your burglary on them as-well, to which they won't care about, because we have a concurrent sentencing system:mad:

    They'll never do time, even if caught red handed. Judge will look at their records, see 200 + convictions, scumbag will say he is on the scratcher or the disability, has a massive heroine habit but want's to get off it, has 20 kids and a sick ma etc. Will walk free. Ridiculous.

    And I agree with him, not sure why the OP is getting thanked for the post.

    The OP is getting thanked for her post because she has treated the invasion of her home and property as an unfortunate blip in life that can't be helped. An invasion carried out by people who will always exist no matter how well the economy goes. There were no calls from the OP that the thieves should be thrown into jail for the rest of their lives/strung up/castrated etc, as she knows these are highly disproportionate responses to a break in where nothing was stolen, and thankfully no was injured.

    So the next time something unfortunate happens to any of us, instead of taking it as a sign that everyone's against us, it might serve us well to think of this thread and be thankful for everything good that's happening in our lives.

    Thank you again for the post OP, and Happy Christmas.

    HAHA good one.

    Sorry to hear about your break in OP. Been here twice myself.
    I wouldn't hold out a lot of hope on the Gardai doing much about it tho, because the last time I got broken in to, all they did was post me out the address of a local place that provides counselling services. Not really what I had in mind to be honest.
    I'd have preferred to see the scum having their hands amputated.

    I'll be honest with you Banana, it's not about possessions being taken, it's the invasion of ones privacy.
    That outweighs the material stuff.

    Absolutely.

    This is our second breakin in a decade.
    We live in rural Ireland,all of our neighbours have been hit twice in recent years-despite having alarms.
    We are luckiest,as nothing taken on both occasions.

    I didn't start the thread looking for thanks.
    I'm not that shallow.

    I was/am pi$$ed off to think that someone has such little regard for others and their property.
    And somehow,it's tolerated by letting these ....creatures,if caught, get away with it.

    My last break in was about two years ago and I still expect to find yet another break in when I get home every day.

    I would 100% agree.

    People complaining about the cops, what do you expect them to do?

    Look at crimewatch, people caught clearly on CCTV yet they still have to broadcast on national TV to try and catch them.

    Can you post CCTV?

    On the subject of break-ins, wouldn't it be great if we saw a few random burglars killed or at least seriously wounded to the point of not being able to do it again in quick succession over Christmas?

    No doubt we'll be hearing more stories of people being robbed and beaten up in their own homes, usually the elderly, as seems to be the norm at this time of year.

    Wouldn't it be nice for this Christmas instead hearing that quite a few scumbags got battered into oblivion or shot dead? I'm sure there'd be millions sleeping more soundly at the news of a few scobies getting their comeuppance.

    PS- I wonder will there ever be a situation whereby by known burglars are targeted so that they're watched and when they go out of their own dwelling, they get robbed themselves, and the taking given to charities. Vigilante burglaries if you will, robbing from the scumbags to give to the poor?
