Burglars have made off with €12,500 in cash and jewellery from two houses in Tala, the Cyprus News Agency reported on Sunday.

It said that a German permanent resident of Cyprus had reported to police that his home was broken into between 6 pm and 11 pm on Saturday and taken €6,000 euro in cash and jewellery worth €2,500.

I feel sorry for the householders concerned. Every year in the weeks leading up to Christmas thieves and housebreakers are active. It really pays to make sure that your house security is up to scratch. Why risk the heartbreak and inconvenience of having your home robbed?

The problem with house Safes is the damage done trying to get them out, plus the external damage to your home such as windows and doors etc, do not think there is a real answer to stopping this, a brick will get you into most houses, maybe a large loud dog? cannot understand folks keeping cash and jewelry in their homes, best to use a bank for all of your valuables, not at all sure what they charge for this service, but certainly worth asking.
