We are now another crime statistic in Southsea following a burglary during the night. The police have been very helpful but since it was electronic equipment that was taken, it will be very difficult to recover although I gave the serial number of my new computer to them. It is really sad that we now have to become Fort Knox in our own home and I am very disappointed that my first laptop which I had saved for has been taken after only two months of use. I am now writing on my 6 year old desk top as I can’t afford to go out and buy another one.

There have been a spate of burglaries in this area and I hope the police are able to catch these people soon before they violate other people’s lives.
