REGARDING your report (LET, August 6) about Danny Thompson installing a CCTV camera outside his home, I think he is right to have one fitted.

We were robbed last year while on holiday and nobody saw the thieves climbing through our window in broad daylight, even though both the back and the front of the house are wide open to view.

We thought about a burglar alarm, but how many times do you walk past an alarm going off and pay no attention to it? So if a camera is the only way, so be it.
