Stately Homes That Are Owned By The National Trust...

[sandyRoe]

If some are unoccupied how are they protected from burglars?

[weecalf]

Honour amongst thieves ,the prices charged for a look around are legalised thievery.

[scorpiojo]

How many letters? ;-)

[sandyRoe]

The Ab Editor really needs to move Chatterbank away from Crosswords in the list of topics.

[scorpiojo]

:-)

[SirOracle]

Heavily protected by sophisticated burglar alarm systems in most cases.

I wouldn't contemplate anything Sandy if I were you.!! :-)

I visit quite regularly and you find that a lot have a Steward/Curator living on the premises or in properties in the grounds.

Raised drawer-bridges; moats patrolled by crocagators; glass-shard topped walls; cauldrons bubbling with oil; arrows sticking out of tiny slits; and numerous signs saying "Private property: Please Keep Out!"

[Henrietta]

Alarms and security i'd guess

[sandyRoe]

There was an MP a while ago had the moat around his stately home cleaned at the taxpayers expense. I'm not sure if that was to give the crocagators easier access to any swimming burglar.

[sandyRoe]

Even an alarmed house in an isolated area could be robbed by smash and grab thieves.

[Zacs-Master]

All items are cataloged so selling them on would be a problem and easily traced back to the theives.

[stuey]

Surely, sandy, an alarmed house would shake and shiver so much that it would send the nefarious interlopers scurrying away into the night.

[Henrietta]

Yeah but sandy if it was in an isolated place it would make it much easier for the police with dogs and helicoptors to find the thieves as they'd be the only ones in the isolated area

By the little man, dressed in a tweed jacket, with leather elbow patches asking for your £7.95 ! He might also have a mustard coloured waistcoat on.
