Where have you been for the last 20 years?
The police are not going to make themselves busy over a alleged minor theft.

Blimey they turned up? I am amazed.
Mind you if they found their fingerprints on a draw it will prove nothing.
It just means they touched the draw, no evidence of theft.
Put everything in a safe place next time.
Do not trust anyone you don’t know very well.
I had a tradesman in for two days this week, I hid everything of value away.

They also advised me not to persue it personally with the people involved as this could have repercussions against me ( correct still wrong ) , just have to put it down as a loss ☹

Thank you all for the kind words

Not advisable.
Libel is very expensive.
