The past two nights I've had my sleep broken by a prowler in the garden, rifling through sheds. I hasten to add that I'm not at home in my corner of the Highlands (where people still leave their houses and cars unlocked), but in the crime-ridden south of England, staying with my parents-in-law.
On both occasions my four legged burglar alarms scared off the intruders with their blood curdling growls (fortunately they sound big and ferocious even though they're not either). As it happens a neighbour had his house broken into and car stolen a bit further down the street, so I'm quite glad my furry intruder alarms are being hyper-vigilant. After two disturbed nights I'm shattered though and will be glad to get back home (even though I'm being spoiled with central heating here :-)
You'd think thick snow on the ground would deter a would-be burglar - his foot prints are totally visible this morning. Now, my rudimentary reading of Enid Blyton tells me I just need to go out with my ruler and the mystery will be solved ;-)
Either the prowler(s) is/are very stupid or they know the police really aren't going to bother...

That's quite scary. I hate noises in the night at the best of times, but when you know it's burglars...yikes.
Don't be tempted to go out - with or without your ruler. Stay inside where it's warm and let your four legged friends frighten the baddies away.
Oh no, that's terrible Lorraine. I would have been petrified. If I hear any noises I tend to pull the covers over my head and convince myself it will just go away.
I constantly fall asleep on my sofa and 3 of my neighbours have had their sheds burgled while I've been laying there, probably in full view of the baddies!!
Yuck, Lorraine! Thank God for the dogs huh?

Truly, this article is really one of the very best in the history of articles. I am an antique ’Article’ collector and I sometimes read some new articles if I find them interesting. And I found this one pretty fascinating and it should go into my collection. Very good work.
