Got a phone call from my girlfriend yesterday that her house had been broken into... got there as soon as I could and it wasn't a nice scene! Massive boulder thrown through the patio glass (it was double glazed) and no drawer in the house went unturned. They got away with lots of jewellery and a laptop, although it was stranger the stuff they left tbh. Was there until almost midnight getting locks changed (they'd taken a spare set including the car key) and getting the door boarded up. Police came to dust for prints etc. but I have no hope for that, something similar happened to my gran years ago and nothing came of it. Worst thing is she's a very paranoid girl anyway with all this kind of thing so it's really going to make it worse for her! 
Only thing that ever happened to me personally was someone put a brick through my 206 GTi's window... and they didn't even nick anything anyway!
Which kind of made it more annoying lol as I had Oakley's in there, a bottle of brandy and my stereo. If you're going to smash a window at least have the common decency to steal something so there was actually a reason for it!

I've had 1 in my house on NYE they tried to steal the oldest laptop in the house but must have been disturbed by the alarm because the laptop was dropped inside the house near the front door.
I left my car open one night and someone routed through the glove box but didnt take anything. had nearly £1k of stereo equipment in the car

My garage (and a few neighbours/people in next streets) got broken into about 18 months ago
Left all tools, bikes and car bits but took some shitty old golf clubs worth less than £100

Had my unit robbed, all my tools, power tools, welders etc etc.
Bit gutted, rozzers didn't even come out ffs took a statement over the phone! Later found out they put the value at something stupid like £30-£40. Which meant they didn't have to do anything....
One of my many reasons for loving the police

When I was about 10, smashed through the front door during the day when everyone was at work.
Used a pillow case from the bed to fill up with stuff.

I heard my garage door get ripped open one night while in bed, quick look out of the window and three of them. whipped my under crackers on and grabbed my bat and took chase of the little cunts through my village bare foot in only my under crackers. Years before woke up and my my garage door is open and my crosser is laid on the floor, luckily it was heavily chained. Last week I had my moto stolen in Cambodia while in my room, days before I agreed a sale on my guest house and the word got around the village and had visits from people for three nights.
