For those of you that don’t know yet, we were burgled last week. Not at all pleasant. I had my hand on the thief’s foot for a moment, until he kicked out with his other and [broke a window](http://www.redmonk.com/jgovernor/2007/07/17/kingsland-glass-company-excellent-for-hackney-glass/). Anyway, its worth noting that the Stoke Newington police were at the scene extremely quickly, they brought tracker dogs, and were polite and professional throughout. If the officer who talked to us was a doctor I would be praising his bedside manner. Stokie police has not always had the best of reputations but on the basis of the call-out it seems my neighborhood has some good people looking out for our property, health and safety. Thanks guys: we appreciate it.
