I'm shaking right now *scary*

I am surprised you were allowed to cancel a 911 call. In my experience once you have made the call they must come and check things out....(else the "bad guy" could hold a gun to your head and insist you make the call!)

OMG, This is awful. Why would a kid rob his own fathers house??? I just dont get it.

Unfortunately, I know someone who robbed their family's house to get things to sell in order to buy drugs. Some people will do anything for a fix.

Catnapper, I'm sorry that happened to you and I hope someday this young man will learn his lesson, before he has to learn it the "hard" way.

That would shake me up badly too, especially after what happened to you last year.

We have some new neighbors who moved in last fall. They keep to themselves (like we do) but he came over this winter to tell us that someone has tried to break into his house several times since Christmas. He asked if we've heard anything but we didn't. He told me a few weeks ago that they tried to break into his truck again. He thinks he knows who it is so I'm praying it's just someone wanting something only he has and not someone who is going to hit us next. My biggest fear is they will break out a window and the cats will get out. Scares me to death!

What a scary thing to hear and happen at that time of the morning!! I would still be shaking, too. Did the dispatcher call back to at least check on you?? Will you guys let the father know what happened?

A few months ago, a neighbor told us he had chased off a man sleeping in our driveway I think he had probably been drinking, but it still freaks me out! I rather wish the neighbor had called the police instead.

I would have called 911 too, and let them come & handle it, even though you know this kid. You don't know, he could have been on crack & hurt you guys, not even realizing what he was doing. It happens.

I agree with this. Who knows if this kid isn't hanging out with other punks
who would think nothing of breaking into any other house too. Sorry you
had to experience this scary feeling.
