Help! stolen keys to back door!

There's a tool for breaking the cylinder in half so it can easily be extracted from a locked door, but it will cost you much more than calling out a locksmith (just supposing you can even get hold of one).

Some insurance policies will pay for new locks if your keys are stolen, particularly if there's any chance the theif can identify your address.

Put some additional bolts on the inside to begin with - that way if said scrote comes back and tries to get in he'll be defeated.

A locksmith may however be a good investment. How much do you value what's in your house?

I've had to drill out 2 similar locks. Carry on drilling and maybe use some higher quality drill bits. Make sure you let the drill bits cool frequently and work with a smaller drill bit first.

It's probably a bit late now that you've attacked the lock, but have you looked for hidey-holes around the garden? When this happened to us, we found the keys under the dustbin. Obviously, the scrotes don't want the inconvenience of carrying their collection around.

It's not the inconvenience, it's that if they are caught with someone else's house keys that's *evidence*.
