Four am on New Year's eve we recieived two 'rocks' through our front lounge window, apparently thrown by a group of three local youths, according to the Security company who followed up on the matter.
They were seen by the sons of the family living in the double story house opposite who were sitting on the upper floor balcony.
I slept soundly through the whole thing. Gigi woke up to answer a call of nature but didn't know what had woken her.
We only noticed the rocks and all the glass in the lounge and right through to the kitchen when we got up in the morning.
The rocks must have been thrown incredibly hard as they smashed through the window pane, the venetian blinds and the heavy curtains.
Windows were also broken in the single story house opposite, the house next door and a large mansion down the street
Here is one of the 'rocks' that ended up in front of the fire place
Here is the other that ended up on my newly turned bowls lying just in front of the window
Luckily no damage to the bowls
Anyway now we have no excuse for not getting the window frames painted and to buy new wooden venetian blinds that we have been discussing for some time
