Had an attempted break-in last night. Bit of a worry.

There goes my sleep for the next while.

Maybe borrow a dog for a while. Hambam? I would imagine being licked to death by a border collie would be enough to discourage even the most ardent feef.

I'd actually think Butters would be a better bet.

But jeez waking up to that is going to throw me for a bit.

I'm sorry mate. I've had cooked people repeatedly try to get into mine before and it is an awful hypervigilant feeling.

Time to Home Alone it? Whatever makes you feel better. Perhaps with luck a pile of pots and pans in front of the entry point will alert neighbours/break the intruder's neck.
