Help for the domestically done-over.
1. Call the police immediately
As soon as you've clocked that an intruder has visited, call up from your mobile in the street, or use a neighbour's phone (just in case the intruder is still inside). It's OK to dial 999 if you think it's appropriate, because the crime may only just have been committed.
2. Don't touch anything
It's vital that you leave everything untouched. The police will want to evaluate the scene and maybe even dust for fingerprints.
3. Get a grip
It's important that you stay calm when dealing with the police so that they can write an accurate report. Get through this and then settle down with someone you trust and talk about what's happened.
