The house next to me changed hands a couple of years ago
and has been empty while the owners have slowly renovated it.
They had uninvited visitors last week who helped themselves to
the bathroom suite, some power tools and electric sockets (mounted).
They also took the copper piping under the sink and left the stop cock open.
They gained entry by wrecking the patio doors.

saying something like:

Their neighbours were busy helping themselves to Arthurs bathroom suite,
some power tools and electric sockets & the copper piping under the sink...
