My boyfriend bought me a house in a so called "gated" subdivision with 24 hours security and all... Because im away a lot (for being here in the UK and other travels) my house is always left empty. It's been empty for 5 months since i left in November. My family only goes there in the weekend to check the place and do some dusting. Let's just call it luck for not being broken into in spite it being empty because just a week ago, i had a chat with my neighbour and she said they have been broken into and the burglars took a lot of valuables. The scary thing was, they were in the house - soundly sleeping! how did that happen? who knows...
