There is a season for everything it appears .....

| Grinch's Stealing Christmas |
In the UK, insurance statistics show that November is the worst time for burglaries, and that the Friday's in November are the most likely days for it to occur ... so commiserations if you were targeted this year.
The reasons for this are varied but amongst the most likely are that:
- The clocks have gone back and its increasingly darker, earlier.
- Generally the weather is crisp, but still dry (so less people about, and the criminals not getting soaked).
- The Christmas season is approaching, meaning that houses often have valuable and easily disposed items, still in their boxes.
So like the Grinch .... they want to steal your Christmas.
While on the subject of Grinch's stealing Christmas, last year 2022, saw a TikTok craze of parents dressing up as The Grinch, and 'stealing' their own children's presents from under the tree in front of their children .... and then posting the results (usually traumatised and crying kids), on the Internet platform.
One has to wonder how low some people are prepared to go to get a viral video, and a few more clicks and likes ...... well apart from stealing Christmas that is.
