We came home from shopping to find 2 young males skulking around in the bushes near our fence and when we entered our condo, we noticed that the screens were pried from the windows and there were pry marks and a broken latch on our sliding door. of course by then the 2 guys were long gone, but we filed a police report and bought new hardware for our door, as well as some wooden dowels to jam in the doors and windows. Luckily they didn't get in, but we can't help but feel a little vulnerable for our safety and that our our daughter. don't know why i'm sharing. just decided to share. for like, my own sanity or some shit. |

Try not to be to worried about it. It is human nature to feel threatened by it, just natural survival instinct kicking in. Most thieves are nothing more than opportunists, they probably left yours and went and did some other poor buggers house instead. As they never managed to gain entry into your house it is unlikely they will return (oddly enough that is a statistically proven fact). |

They probably just wanted to put some flowers on your table or something to surprise you. |

i think you are probably right. the police officer that took our statements said they were probably after quick easy grabs like laptops, cameras etc. nothing substantial. so like you say, since getting in proved not easy, i can't see why they'd come back. plus they got caught in the act really. even though we couldn't really give a good description of them, we actually talked to them face to face, told them to leave the premises. that can't make them feel to confident about returning. but mostly it makes me mad that now we have that anxiety. |

You should get a dog help to protect your home at all times, punk kids wont mess around if they open the door and a rottweiler goes for their throat |

That's pretty terrifying. My ex-girlfriend's dad was tired one day so, after coming home, left his wallet on the kitchen table, and took a nap upstairs for two hours. Upon awaking, the door was broken, and all money gone! A laptop near by was not stolen. It's close to what ecna and the police say; these people are just make swift, shallow combings of easy pickings. As it stands, the result wasn't severe enough to warrant a serious police investigation, and therefore they are off the hook, essentially.. I hate everything |

Stealing has historically been one of the main ways to acquire wealth. |

you could get an alarm system, it helped my folks relax after they got some break-ins. Also my dad now sleeps with my baseball bat under the bed |

At least they didn't try to rape your daughter yet. |

An alarm is the best thing you could do. And a hammer too. |

I had someone in my house stealing my stereo. I walked into the room just as they exited the window. That was scary |

Sorry to hear about this. As Ecnad says, the fact they didn't get in means it's unlikely they'll be back. Even so, an alarm and getting a police officer out to look at the security of your house (checking you have the right sort of locks etc.) might help put your mind at rest. |

(Ceri, here is a 'thoughest' response for you :D) We did have a couple police officers out. they took photographs and tried to get fingerprints, but because of the rain, their fingerprinting stuff just turns to mud. I also think that, since my wife and i confronted them face to face in the parking lot and asked them to leave the property, we probably put some of the fear into them. as far as they know, we got a good look at their faces. even though i really couldn't remember much about their appearance. funny how unreliable memory is. I guess if we had realized that they were trying to break in when we saw them, we would have paid more attention to their appearance. but people are frequently lurking around that area, usually just smoking crack or getting blowjobs from crack-whores. we are looking into getting some kind of alarm system. we don't have a large condo, so it won't be too costly. but being on the ground floor in our neighborhood, it would bring some peace of mind. It's funny though, our neighborhood isn't exactly "the hood." the property value averages $500k+ per house and the condos are around 250K+. But it is a neighborhood in conversion, encroaching on the ghetto, and very near a few sketchy nightclubs. So we get some nefarious run off. |

If I had known you were so rich living in an area like that I'd have robbed your fucking house myself! |

Combo, friend, totally fuck off for that comment. evolume: im glad all three of you are well, that would be on my nerves/mind, way to much. Get out of the house, carry on regular activities and such, time will heal the wounds. ecnad: if your ever in the seattle,wa area, give me a buzz, you and i can both open evolume's door, walk through the living room while they are all watching "everybody loves raymond" or something, take what we want, and lock the door on our way out.... |

we have a security system installed now so if you come in during everybody loves raymond the siren will make it really hard to hear Ray's delightful style of family friendly comedy. |

It reminds me of that other shitty show 'coach'. You know where there's like this coach and he has all these fag players that hang around, and he sometimes has lame parties where he serves chips and does a lot of talking. Both shows have this one large idiot fag. That's the main reason it reminds me of everyone loves raymond, which has a deceitful title by the way, because of that large low talking idiot fag. Large low voiced idiot fags arene't funny like the coache's star player and raymonds large fag brother. Also that large guy on murphy brown. I like man balls. |

almost exaclty a year ago to date i had my car stolen from my driveway in the middle of the night while i slept not more than 20 feet away in my bedroom. that was in las vegas though so you got shitheads that do that type of shit everywhere all the time. vegas as an area is quite small, it only takes maybe 40 minutes to drive from one end of the desert to the other completely through town. so the ghetto is at least just a 20 minute drive form any upper class neigborhoods situated around the city. |

well, they have to get pissed otherwise it wouldn't make for exciting reality tv. then advertisers would pull out and the network wouldn't be able to make money off you cuz you wouldn't want to watch some boring realistic television program now would you. |
