My WhatsApp group of 30 local school dads shares regular stories of attempted burglaries in my local area, as does the local community Facebook page.
Jacqui Felgate, Melbourne’s 3AW Radio host, posts daily videos via Instagram of the latest armed robberies and crimes in Melbourne.
A similar incident occurred last year when I awoke to discover a burglar attempting to force their way through my side gate before I scared them away. My modest car has also been broken into several times.
