Hey Eve - I know, it's great to have good neighbours - my next door ones watch everything like a hawk...quite daunting when we fist moved in as the curtains, they were a'twitching when we were walking to the front door, but now after 9 years we really appreciate it :-) we look out for all our neighbours houses, especially if we know they are away.
I lived in leeds for 3 years and was broken into when I was home for the summer (as a student) luckily, in them days, my computer which was hidden under a dressing gown at the bottom of the wardrobe, weighed a ton - not like these flat screen PC's and laptops that you get now, so they left it with all my uni work on.
Hc, nope, not guilty, although my ebay username is peaspeculiars too, I've never ventured onto the ebay forums.... have I missed anything good? ;-)
