Scary..

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

How scary....
2 weeks ago there was an attempt to break in only 2 houses away from ours ; the garage-door was forced. Luckily the burglars weren't succesful in their "job"... . It is kind of scary to know that this was only 2 houses away..... what if they try it again, at our house

ps. someone DID try to break in here, few years ago! I am glad I didn't hear it, because I was alone with both kids, hubby was in Japan

Ww, Pam, that IS scary!! I am so thankful that your house wasn't touched and you guys were safe. I feel sorry for your neighbors though.

My Mom is still in the house that I grew up in and it's not in a very nice neighbourhood. Fortunately, she recently agreed to sell the house and move to a condo.

A couple of years ago her neighbour right next door was broken in to 4 times within 3 months. They were obviously targetted....don't know what happened but things have calmed down alot since then.

I have never been a victim of a home invasion and I hope I never will.

That is scary. Don't know if you remember, but my house was broken
into a couple yrs ago while I was a work. Nobody home but the kitties and
Smokey. It was awful & took me weeks after to start to feel at ease in my
own home. Insurance replaced everything stolen, but still, I was creeped
out for the longest time.

p.s. The worst of it was poor Smokey (the pacifist) was scared to death
for days afterward.They must have scared the heck out of him.

How scary! I live in a pretty low-income apartment complex which is gated, and while I doubt most people here would have much worth stealing I can imagine we might seem like an easy target for someone who got in the gate. (Which isn't hard to do)

How scary! I hope your house remains free from any attempts of a break in Tell Bella to put her scary face on if someone strange is outside!

Even though anyone who attempted to break into our house would end up with limbs missing from my two dogs (who are actually extremely friendly, just protective due to their breed), we always lock up and treat our house as if we didn't have the two security dogs keeping it safe. Now that Boone is out of his crate 100% of the time, just the combo of barks alone is deterent enough for anyone with half a brain

I really hope the robbers stear clear of your house. I know that robbers usually pass up houses with dogs, even if the dogs aren't very protective. It's just an extra stress they don't need when they're in a hurry to pack up and go.

Lizbud I'm so sorry to hear about your house getting broken into I had no idea. I don't come around too much and I must have missed it. That's so sad and scary. Poor Smokey I'm not sure what kind of monster would do such a thing as break into someones house and steal. I know that sometimes it's not easy to find a job, but it's not THAT hard to find LEGAL work

Thak you Leslie. I'm sure the crooks didn't even know there was a
dog in the house because Smokey doesn't bark much at all. I have since
added a security system & another dog Maggie.She is not at all bashful.

Many years ago my apartment was buglarized. Although the police suspected it was my landlord I was so happy to get out of there. (I had given my notice the day before.)

Most horrid was it probably happened while I was sleeping....

Perhaps that is when I started having insomnia!
