burgled! what would you do?

[unrulyjulie]

My Mum is on holiday in Tenerfie and i went round her house today to find she had been burgled! :-( They are away for a while yet so i didn't know what to do for the best as regards telling them.

I think i am going to leave it until about the day before they get home. I dont want them walking into that when they arrive home, it would be such a shock, and nor do i want to ruin the rest of their holiday! Then again, i wonder if i will just ruin the last day of their hol! I suppose its a no win situation.

What would you do in this situation and what would you want if it were you who had been burgled whilst away! Would you want to know?

thats awful for them, i agree you are doin the right thing by leaving it. Poor souls, I hope the burglars are ashamed of themselves.

thanks knobby, tats sound advice and appreciated as are all my answers!

noknowledge, my parents dont have laptops and sat navs, they are in their 70's! All the thieves got away with was a telly albeit a bloody good one and one that hadnt even been switched on yet but its nothing to what they might have got! My mums jewellery, well, anything of value, isnt in the house.
Not quite sure what your answer means!

[ummmm]

No'know has no morals ;-)

[unrulyjulie]

[ummmm]

My sis her hubby and new baby went on thier first holiday and thier house was broken into, tool box was out of the cupboard in bedroom and only one tool was missing, my bro inlaw worked with gas meters *old ones, this was 30 yrs ago* anyway, there was only one guy who knew about this tool and where it was, long story, meter was disconnected but no money cos it had been emptied just b4 they went on hold so the a$$hole got nothing , Police knew who it was but no evidence to charge, you'll never guess who's moved in downstairs from me AGAIN in 5 yrs.......yeah your right the housebreaker and having serious problems with him yet again , but to answer your question let them have thier holiday and break the news gently when theyre due to come home, best way i think

It'll be horrible news for them, whenever they get it - but I agree. Let them have their holiday first, or they're liable to get the next plane home. Sorry to hear about it though.

[ummmm]

Nothing planned. What did you have in mind ;-)
