In the environs of Cordes sur Ciel, a couple who regularly went out walking their dog for an hour, arrived home to discover the patio windows jemmied open and the lady's family jewels taken amongst other things.
Take care, we are not used to burglaries but the odd bad apple is about and watching victims movements.
When Chris Patten was burgled a few years ago now it was discovered that the person who had delivered the champagne for the forthcoming wedding ( Chris's daughter) had passed on information to a thief.
Val says having spoken to the couple in question, 3 window frames were obviously forced, no internal damage was done, a pillow case was taken from the bed to put in the booty which was family jewellery and a laptop, a straight in and out job, probably completed in 5 mins.
A similar robbery took place in the neighbours house last year.
We always feel our dogs would keep thieves away, when they are barking wildly at the gate, you really would not enter, but if we are out walking them, it is a different scenario.
