Theft
My wife woke me up at about 4:00 am, and said something was wrong. The kettle was missing and the back door was standing open. Then we found her work computer was missing, and my bags with my vestments and liturgical books. It seems that my son forgot to lock the door when he came home from work last night, and the thief would choose the night he forgot to do it to come and try it. It's still technically housebreaking, because he would have had to have climbed over the fence, but not really something one can claim on the insurance, if one is foolish enough to leave to door unlocked. At least we weren't all murdered in our beds. And our dog didn't bark, but crept into my son's bedroom, frightened. He thought it was the hooter of a passing train that scared her.
So now, not having vestments, I probably won't be able to serve at any of the Holy Week services.
And it's exactly a year to the day since someone broke in during when I was out organising school bursaries for needy school pupils, and stole my wife's home computer, and several other things, and then while I was waiting for the police to arrive and was making a list of what had been stolen, stole our car as well.
