Wine Burglary in Campbell

I remember a few months ago when a mate of mine stumbled across a box or 2 of bottles (cheap red if i remember right) that had been dumped in one of the back streets around ainslie avenue, thought it was quite strange at the time, now thinking maybe a similar thing and whoever did it ditched the cheap, maybe some of yours will turn up in a similar fashion.

Then again, how well do you know your neighbours?

I’m going to jump to conclusion.

OP, the thief/ves is/are someone you already know.

‘hic!’ yum…

just kidding – yep, sounds like the thieves or an accessory left the note, so take this to the police for forensic testing. might yield an answer. might not. sorry to hear your loss – i’d hate to lose my small, but also sentimental little cellar’s worth.

1) for them to have broken in despite your car being outside they must have known you were away
2) how did the note leaver know what had been taken? (“Your collection has been taken”)
3)How did they know you were broken into, is the cellar door obvious from the street/other houses?

Sorry to destroy your view of human nature, but perhaps the note was a sarcastic joke from the thief? It’s just seems so strange that they didn’t call the police, even anonymously.

How did they know that only the wine was taken, unless they did it themselves?

Why didn’t they call the cops?

the note is bizarre – why bother leaving it rather than calling the police. surely the OP would have noticed the theft very quickly (upon doing a quick check on their house on their return) and called the police anyway?!
