Would-be burglars discovered by Southampton homeowner
10:19am Thursday 27th March 2014 in News
TWO men tried to force their way into a Southampton home in an attempted burglary.
They were discovered trying to force open the patio doors of the home in Prince of Wales Avenue at about 8.50pm on March 20.
One of the occupants of the house woke up after hearing a noise, and found the wouldbe intruders.
The occupant, a man in his 60s, scared them off by banging the door and then called the police.
The men were wearing dark clothing and possibly baseball caps under dark hooded tops.
Anyone with information should contact DC Katherine Gillingham at Shirley CID on 101.
She said: The victims of this attempted burglary were feeling ill and were in bed when this incident happened.
Please look out for your neighbours and report anything suspicious.

A stolen painting by Renoir is now back at the Baltimore Museum of Art after more than 60 years. (WJZ Video)
From the moment it was created in 1879, a tiny landscape of the River Seine by Pierre-Auguste Renoir has been characterized by a tangled weave of embellishments, layers and knots.
When the Impressionist master sat down to dash off a quick oil sketch of the River Seine, he picked up not the usual piece of canvas, but museum experts confirmed Thursday a linen napkin with an elaborate geometric pattern in which threads twist above, below and around one another.
"Our textile curator, Anita Jones, spent a lot of time looking at the painting under a high-powered microscope," Katy Rothkopf, the museum's senior curator of European painting and sculpture, told reporters gathered for the press preview of a new exhibit, "The Renoir Returns," which opens Sunday.
"The fabric is a type of linen damask that in the late 19th century was used for table linens," Rothkopf said. "It was unusual for painters to use this type of fabric, but it turned out to be a good choice. Linen increases in strength when wet and is smoother than wool or cotton."
But as elaborate as the fabric's geometric structure is, it's virtually a model of simplicity when compared to the 135-year-old artwork's past.
The FBI announced on Thursday that the investigation into the theft of "Paysage Bord du Seine" from the museum in 1951 has been closed. After interviewing dozens of witnesses over nearly 18 months, there isn't sufficient evidence to arrest anyone either for stealing the artwork or for intentionally possessing stolen property, Special Agent Gregg Horner said.
"A lot of people are disappointed when these investigations end without a prosecution," Horner said in an interview at the FBI's Baltimore branch. "But, sometimes that's the nature of these cases. The woman who was in possession of the painting wasn't even born then, so she obviously didn't steal it. And, we had no indication that she knew that it was stolen property."
It all makes for an irresistibly romantic story expected to draw throngs of visitors to the museum this weekend when the Renoir goes on display for the first time in more than six decades, as part of an exhibition drawn from the collection of the painting's donor, the Baltimore heiress and philanthropist Saidie May.
Part of the painting's allure is that it has consistently passed through the hands of women with vivid personalities. They include May, who bought that water view from a Paris gallery in 1925 and later bequeathed it to the museum.

Map showing wages for this occupation. Watch while it cycles or toggle to select one.
Most carpet-layers in Peoria make $10.27 an hour or less, but the government requires federal contractors to pay at least $22.23 an hour for the same work in the Illinois city.
In Troy, Mich., most painters make $13.05 an hour or less, yet every painting company doing business with the federal government must pay its painters at least $26.60.
Across the country, employees of companies with federal contracts make up to twice what others doing the same work in the region make, dramatically increasing the costs to taxpayers, a Washington Examiner analysis found.
Under the Service Contract Act of 1965, contractors are paid a minimum wage determined to be prevailing in the area by the Labor Department.
But those prevailing wages are often far off the mark, according to the analysis, which compared every SCA "district" with far more authoritative figures compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The law directs the government to keep hourly rates in line with the regional typical rate to ensure the governments buying power doesnt drive down average wages.
But instead, it often has the opposite effect, creating two tiers of workers with comparable skills: Those making the free-market rate and those who are far better compensated and whose salary comes indirectly from Uncle Sam.
Washington-based bureaucrats rely on professional judgment when calculating wage rates, as the Government Accountability Office put it, to assemble what the Examiner found were more than 132,000 different regularly updated dollar figures, decreeing what workers should make in each of 339 occupations across 390 regions.
The bureaucrats use BLS rates as one metric, but then adjust them for various factors, even as they make assumptions to fill in information gaps.
