Builders are generally lackadaisical about house security, particularly where they are still on site working on the next phase.
We had been living in our new home for about a month when a workman, who was asked to change a faulty front door lock on another house, got confused and broke into ours by removing a double glazing panel from the outside.
He duly changed the lock, replaced the window and left, leaving me locked out of my house when I came home from work.
When I contacted the company responsible, they said that 'the lads' still see even the completed houses as part of the site and 'not to worry' about it. A visit from the Guards changed his mind and his attitude! :mad:
