Apparently, the #Sims4 got #burglars today. And cops. I can't say I'm very excited about this. I hate cops.

It looks like the #celeb couple were actually in the house, activated the panic button/called nines (old bill were on scene within 8 minutes which is not too bad a response) so the #burglars fled empty handed - but it still doesn't seem a good idea to constantly post pics of your £3,5 *million* dream house on #Instagram - sooner or later you *will* slip up and put up a picture that makes it easy to locate, and #Essex is divided by #inequality

Seems like your security systems need to be hard wired and to a cable internet connection (well, they could cut your cable wire) otherwise WiFi jammers will let savvy burglars break into your house. Recently 7-8 such burglaries a month, in L.A. area -
