The post read: "Is there anyone who would be kind enough to fix our back door ASAP?
"We can drill it shut for now but it could do with being replaced with door frame and added bolts.
"Till drawer has been crowbarred open which we can easily replace. Was a quick smash and grab. Alarm system has been smashed off the wall.
"Police were called and were here in minutes thankfully. Forensics will hopefully be out first thing and we'll be open as normal. Only bonus is we had a good bit of evidence left behind."
