Yesterday morning when I woke up and went to have a shower, I had little water coming thru, I thought better go and check to see if someone has left a hose on outside..... when going out the front, I was completely overcome with disbelief....Our car was gone the Electronic gate was pushed and pulled that much that whoever stole the car had sheared off the screws that was holding the automatic motor to the pole.....oh my gosh I screamed out to Tony and Leo that my Prius which I loved was gone..... we were in disbelief.....how did they get the keys...which of course were inside...the front door was not broken into....
We discovered that.... whoever.... jumped onto the shed walked on the roof of the shed to a side door where the spa is...the screen door was unlocked.....and the glass sliding door was open to let through some fresh air.....it was so hot that night and the wind was rather cool so I suggested to Leo, to leave that open to cool the room he was sleeping in....... not thinking that the screen door wasn't locked....whoever it was walked behind a sleeping Leo who was only a metre away.
They then went into our Family Room and stole our laptop, then into the office and stole $200 that Tony had hidden under a box....all the while we were asleep only metres away. They ( I'm assuming it is they !!) took all the keys hanging on the top key hangy thingy...and went thru the front door....The wind outside was very strong so whereas I think normally we would have heard something ...any noise I did here I put it down to the wind...plus I did hear the door open...but assumed it was Leo going outside......
I had a feeling the night before going to bed.... take your camera out of the car..... I thought I will tomorrow.....I sometimes keep it in there as I'm a mad enthusiast and am always looking out for a good shot....... well not anymore as it's now gone...and I can't tell you how sad I am about that...luckily though I had downloaded every photo I had on there.
The other amazing thing about this is that since hurting my arm, I have been sleeping part of the night on the couch...right where they stole the laptop..it was the first night that I had stayed in bed the whole night...so lucky I was not there as I would have woken up...and goodness knows what could have happened.
The Prius had 3/4 tank full of petrol which could have taken them a long way.......
The police of course came and they managed to get some good fingerprints from the gate.....we still are in shock and feel very invaded and still are in disbelieve of sorts, although the reality of it is very real...strange feeling.....me I was a bit of a wreck last night not feeling safe...but decided to have faith and be brave..... We received a phone call from the Police late yesterday to tell us that the car had been located in Scarborough which is near the sea......it will be taken to their Forensic site and they will ring us when they have finished with it of course no keys...not sure on it's condition...the police said the outside looks ok....Tony has changed the front house door locks plus one of our daughters and family had their keys stolen along with ours....they also have changed their locks....The Police told us that there had been 5 break ins around this area that night.
