Someone broke into our house this afternoon

that was a creepy post. I see why AC's get such a bad rap around here.

That's just horrible...I'm so sorry

I'm glad that your pets are OK

What state do you live in?

harden the exterior security of your home. As you see, an alarm only protects your property, after ten minutes. It helps you not one whit had you been home.

Kick proof door strikes, security doors, window guards, laminated glass, auto dog barking alarms...

Thieves know it takes ten minutes for the police to come, on a slow night...they could have someone call 911 and someone pull a fire alarm and have officers tied up longer if they were really smart....

But if you were home and they had you or a loved one at knife or gunpoint, and told you to tell the alarm company or police it was a false alarm, you might do it.

hate to hear that.. weird.. someone bashed in the back window of our old suv sitting right in the drive way sat.night..
no other reason than just to do it..didn't even bother calling the police. whats the point? going to get a lot worse thefts, random acts of vandalism..

Oh my... I can't tell you how sorry I am, Sweetie. Thank God your pet-babies are okay.
I'm sending you and your precious family MEGA blessings, prayers, comfort and love...

and special hugs to you

Yes, indeed.

I figured out who was behind my burglary years later. My husband figured it out right off (we did not know each other when it happened, but started dating about a year later), but it took me awhile to put all the pieces together before I believed him. I used to be a very trusting person.

Very sorry to here this Angel...you are truly one of the nicest people who post on this site.

It saddens me that you and your family where violated like this. Hopefully they will catch the thieves and your property will be returned soon.

I am so sorry to hear this. I know what its like to have a break in. Prayers and light are being sent your way.

At least nobody got hurt. Material possessions can be replaced, a human life can't.

true during economy hardships.. people will do what they normally would not do, the crime rate always goes up as poverty increases...

what ever and hardly the point...

Thats why no one, I MEAN NO ONE, comes into our house unless they are friends or family that we have known for years, and have their shit together. Even then, with family and friends I NEVER show them where our valuables are stored!!!

wise words

Oh, and next time install tracking software on your machines, and allow a GUEST logon, that way you catch them and chances are they will not wipe the HD.

my friends did that and tracked the b@tch down who stole their laptop - the police came and arrested her!!!

Happened to me years ago. I actually walked into the house carrying my sleeping baby--felt air blowing in my face and saw a broken window. I turned around and went out. Evidently, when whoever it was heard my car in the driveway, they went out the back. Because a lot of stuff that was unplugged and "ready to go" was still there.

Police never found who it was. The only thing we were sure was missing was an electric typewriter (told you it was years ago!).

It took me a long time to get over that. I carried a pistol in my purse for a long time. The worst thing was thinking of what might have happened if they hadn't run when they heard my car.

As others said, check pawn shops, craigslist, ebay for your items.

How horrifying! I remember getting robbed many years ago. Among other things, they took my jewelry box that had all sorts of personal momentos, including some jewelry my dad gave my mom while he was in the service.

The feeling of violation is the worst...

Glad your little buddies were OK!

Would you rather get shot in the process of a robbery or just have a few things stolen? Clearly you need to grow up. Human life is more valuable than a few guns. Stop being so materialistic.

It's ALWAYS somebody you know.

I am SO sorry to hear that. I was a State Prosecutor for 25 years and I know it is a rough time for you. I know you are violated and angry. But hang in there, you'll get through it. Promise.

You could always offer a "bounty" for information leading to the arrest of the person - post signs in the neighborhood. OR... you could do it the sly way, and put an ad or FLYERS in your neighborhood, seeking the very items you lost, but without a bunch of detail, ie, looking for a used laptop, you pay top dollar... etc. Then have the person send you a pick of what they want to sell you and turn away the people that send pics of stuff that does not look like yours...

How about the best of both worlds and shooting the robber??

That is just really terrible GLP Angel.

May God give you strength during this difficult time.


:flowers:

so sorry for your loss and invasion

be thankful that no one got hurt

I will pray for you and yours and you pray for the dick heads that did this to you. Forgive them in your heart and move forward and rebuild new memories.

bummer
those bastards!
