Only leave the lights on that you normally leave on, though.
Leave the tv on as well.
May neighbour had a break in last week while they were all in bed. Forced the front door, grabbed the car keys from the hall, drove off in the Land Rover. They knew nothing about it until they got up.
Hmmm...I will have my lights off as I'll probably be in bed before the New Year...booo haha, cold permitting I might try and stay up though.
I might leave a light on downstairs though. A work colleague was confronted by raiders who broke into her house not long ago. A few others at work burgled too and some recent local ones including one in my street - they fought off the burglars apparently.
We had an issue a few years ago with some nasty breakins by some of the local gang, they were going in with pitchforks and machetes. Hope it's not going to start up again. Mainly after car keys though so one reason I'm glad I don't actually drive.
Not going anywhere tonight TWR it's cold and wet. A friend of ours was going to celebrate, but his bank account has been cleaned out. He went online to buy some tickets for a football match and his account has been phished. the bank rang him to say that two lots of £1500 been taken.He rang to tell his mate about it and his mate said his card has been cloned at the hole in the wall at Tesco, so he's skint too. Wouldn't care but they both owe MrAsk.
