    Terrible! We suffered a break-in of sorts, an assult some years ago when a mugging took place at our premises* and valuable Lalique was stolen. The local police I must say were truly helpfull. I do hope they get these b……s!
    –
    *We now have security devices as well as CCTV both inside and outside of our premises… at great exspence of course but the insurers demand it these days. A great shame as visitiors are by prior appointment only now because of this.
