So sorry to hear that you were burgled in this manner. May I ask if your Communal Entry Door was double-locked or was it just secured on a Yale lock only?

I live in a property in HOP with a shared Front Door, which onlyone other flat shares but we are both religious about double-locking the front door, even if only going out to our nearby local shops.

It would freak me out even more if these burglars are now breaking entry through a double-locked door.
