    This is what i plan to do next time. Plus a few other things regarding strengthening walls and also nails going into the wall butted up against the safe so if they try again they get nails in their feet.

    On a positive note. Borrowed a shotgun off my dealer principle for the weekend to get me back out there. Shot limit both days which has turned a shit week into a good weekend. As for someone mentioning victim support. They rang thursday arvo late and i was like yeah nah im mint.. come friday morning was having a shower. And just had an absolute breakdown to the misses. I blamed myself for even having firearms. Having dicks come into our home. Absolutely frighten the kids. My daughter sleeps with the light on now. I cant even bring myself to look at the damage any more. When family or friends come over if it gets brought up. I walk away. I dont want to hear or talk about the details to anyone. Im surprised how much it has effected me to be honest. You feel violated to know someone has done this and now also knows whats inside the house

    Stay strong mate. I would be filled with so much rage if that happened and not being able to do anything would screw me up

    Ummm, but aren't they only good for about 15 yards?. It's blue tooth.
    Hunt safe, look after the bush & plug more pests. The greatest invention in the history of man is beer.

    To parrot GDMPs words above.
    You are not to blame for any of what has happened.

    Easter weekend my small workshop at work was broken into and we were cleaned out. I felt dirty walking in after the Police had finished, the worst feeling, knowing some assholes had been in my turf. I took me several days to get past that fact. Not personal property like yours, but I sure can relate. You aren't at fault at all.

    Do these ping off all android phones like the apple ones ping off iphones? Is there a cheapish reliable android compatible equivalent to airtags?

    Just did some homework on this looks like the cheaper android ones aren't quite there yet, Some have significantly better blue tooth than air tags but they don't have the pinging function that the findmy network provides. Google is apparently working on one that should be very good but it's not available yet.

    Its explained Here and here
