Burglary

That's horrible LL. I am glad everyone is okay, that's the most important thing. I know they won't feel secure in their own home for a while. Wishing the best for your family.

Good advice about the cell phone BR. I had always thought I would just pretend to sleep in that case and let them take what they want. But, I guess I do not know how I would react...especially if woken from a deep sleep.

Miss Kitty, you are just wishing for a deep sleep. You would be sitting at your computer. But that keyboard could be a deadly weapon.

OMG..that is HYSTERICAL!!! And, so true! I could beat the thugs with my mouse! Actually, I think they would run away when I started talking their ears off!

I was getting ready to say the same thing! When would a burglar find everyone asleep at Miss Kitty's???

it's me, not Bdarg. This login confusion is going around today!!!

Sorry to hear about the break-in LL. You can all feel thankful that everyone's OK and can only hope that the people who did this get caught and punished.

I agree. I hope you will be back soon with a report of an arrest. It also makes me wonder if we should be turning our alarm on at night.

That is why they think it was those two bums working on the flooring. They spent a few days there and got to know their routine and how the house was laid out. Not to mention, they stared at that new television for three days. I think its pretty obvious.

same thing happened to my inlaws - got new carpet laid by some shady looking guys - 2 days later, their house was robbed.

This is a really useful lesson. To be sure you get services from well-known companies with people you know and trust in your area. It may not really pay to use these quick and inexpensive places that may not do a careful job when hiring.

When we went away once, we (I'll admit a bit tentatively) left our house key with the people who had to fix our furnace because it broke the day before we left. They were a company we had worked with for several years and we knew the person who was going to work on the furnace. We also expressed our concern that we were leaving our key with the company. Anyway, all was fine and we sent the repair people a box of chocolates to thank them for taking care of our furnace while we were gone.

The moral of these stories is that you can't take good honest service and relationships with good honest service people for granted -- even if it costs a bit more. I needed that reminder myself because we're getting our rugs cleaned soon...

Wouldn't you just love to have one of these

Maybe that should be my new avatar? Just kidding.

BTW the people who did our home invasion cooked themselves a steak dinner when they broke into one of our friend's homes, flushed the kids' goldfish down the toilet, and read the young teenager's diary and damaged it. Really weird. Of course, they stole valuable stuff, too.

As I've said before, the female in the burglary trio is out of jail. I swear, if I saw her (which is likely since her father works where I do), I'd feel like knocking the crap out of her. On second thought, I'd probably just start screaming at her about how she has traumatized our entire family.
