Trick your neighbours

First you tell your neighbours you are leaving for vacation, and hand out your mobile number if something should happen when you're gone. After some time you turn up, put a broken lamp in the window, leave the window open and then leave the house. Make sure not to answer the phone if someone calls you.

My neighbour did that trick. I am like the old lady in "Morse", I call the police. Yepp..
but next time I won't.
