Just heard what I thought were burglars breaking down my front gate...

[Kelt]

Having a late night on the PC and just heard loud breaking noises coming from the front garden.

Having had my mountain bike burgled from my shed about fifteen years ago by lowlife scumbags busting through the front gate, naturally at 3.30 in the morning thought it might be happening again.

Went downstairs, opened my door and went to confront the suspected burglar(s), and of course. got ready to adopt the famed OCUK boxing stance and preparing to stand and bang.

Went towards the commotion and two large ****** badgers did a runner from my gate.

They'd knocked out a plank next to the gate, FFS.

WTF

They're lucky I didn't set about them!

I'm just glad it wasn't burglars. Still, a screwy moment when it plays with your head like that!

Me too.

I was walking down the stairs thinking I could be getting into deep **** here, totally unarmed, and potentially up against armed robbers.

I don't think I was thinking straight, but it was 3.30am in the morning and I was tired and just going to bed when I heard the ruckus.
