Sad News.

I passed today to drop off some materials to find the main front door partly open.
There was no possible way the door was blown open by the wind – you’ve seen the lock!
So after some investigation, I noticed that the door I’d put up temporarily to keep people out on the boiler room side had been forced back at the bottom, but only enough to get through and into the new courtyard.
Problem was, the shutters weren’t across, so whoever got in had the run of the house.

There are no tools missing, nothing has been touched except for the front door key which is missing.

If it was a break-in for valuables, then they’d have taken the tools, so it’s definitely kids.
And they took the most valuable thing for me, and that’s the old key!

So house secured, time to think of a way to get it back………….
