The festive period is a time to make merry after a long year of working extremely hard, this, we all understand only too well.  Office parties are great and a time to put up decorations and let your hair down, after all it is Christmas.

At first glance, there is nothing overtly ostentatious about this quiet road, where the average property was last year valued at around £41m, more than 165 times the value of the average UK home (£248,863). There are no yellow Lamborghini's or Hummers blasting music. The overwhelming impression is one of tasteful reserve, of glistening cream paint and shining green and black railings – until you pause to examine the enormous heft of the houses: vast, detached palaces, with too many windows to count, on a scale dwarfing other private homes in London.

The area boast its own Private Security Service, so where the hell were they when intruders gained access and took of with the booty of loot?  On the other hand you may well ask, who leaves £50m worth of jewels in a house when away taking a holiday, that’s right, a Family of Fools, or people so removed from the reality of real life as to think, their property and assets are safe in their big expensive houses, a lesson in humility?

In reality this part of London is a magnet for thieves at this time of year why, because expensive gifts are purchased and are in the house on show for all to see, after all most properties in the area have 20-30 underpaid mostly foreign staff slaving after the whims of millionaires and their siblings.
