Just got back from the new house we are renovating. Some %&#@* broke down the cellar door and stole the copper piping and new water heater and broke a back window into the house
People these days...luckily they didn't get the piping from the inside baseboard heaters or go inside and steal the powertools. They also cut the propane line which could have been worse...a lot worse...Need to count my blessings that it wasn't worse I guess...I'll be off to buy some motion sensor lights and maybe I'll move my game cam over to the house to see who is snooping around.
Today was meant to be a coop cleaning day but that's not happening now...ugh and today is my only day off this week. Boo.
Hope everyone else gets to enjoy this loverly weather!
I am sorry for your trouble. The same thing happened to some friends, but then it is in the city here and not a nice neighborhood. They hadn't been to the house in a year I think and it was vacant. I had gone over to do repairs when I discovered the damage.
I advised them to leave lights on in the house and cut the grass which of course showed no one was there.
To you I suggest the same thing and you might leave a radio on too. Put a lamp or two on timers throughout the house.
Do you have insurance that might cover some of the damage?
I wish you well,
Rancher
When we sold our old house it sat vacant for a while. I visited everyday and left a light on. Made sure people knew I was there.
