Really Strange Thing Today

My neighbor's car was broken into last week, and $40 stolen. She had left her door unlocked. My other neighbor told me that she turned off my light, and locked the door to my car last week, and figured it was the same night as the theft. (Jonah plays with the dome light as he exits the car, and must have hit it to 'on'). So, she might have been the reason MY car wasn't broken into. While I only had $3 or $4 bucks in it...still. .

I don't even report car breakins anymore. I've had mine rifled through
3 times already.I just leave it unlocked so they don't have to break a
window & don't keep anything of value in the car.

You know, that is somewhat MY thoughts as well. Unless they are going to steal the CD containing Baby's First Nursery Rhymes (PLEASE!), there isn't anything of value! Okay, okay, I DO have some old Michael Jackson....

I agree- I mean, most likely, if someone is looking to break into a car, they probably aren't going to pick mine when almost every car is newer, and most likely has better stuff in it. I never lock it, if someone wants my mixed cds, they can have them.

Lizbud, I'm sorry you feel so unsafe in your own neighborhood. I hope that your neighborhood watch will help!

Well, sad to say, this happens a lot more often nowadays. I believe the
trend is the same in most larger cities all over the country. I live in a middle
class, blue collar neighborhood & believe me, it can get a whole lot worse
in poorer class neighborhood. Some of our very pricey neighboods they have
been having a rash of breakins & carjackings. Seems many crooks seek out the elderly to beat & rob as well. Crime is up so I guess I have to remember
to be a lot more careful & proactive.

That really is creepy and I am sorry that it happened. We have never had a breakin, but reading about it really scares me. Hope the neighborhood watch can help you out and make you feel safer.

That would really creep me out and make me jumpy.

Just knowing someone has been trying to break into my neighbors house has me scared. They tried to get in from the back of the house so I keep telling Richard we need a big guard dog out back. The one time they got the back door open on the neighbor's house they didn't take anything because they are sure the dog's barking, a corgi, must have scared them off. I don't have a dog anymore.

Just wondering; could a bird have been carrying it and dropped it?
Sometimes they carry weird things when they are building nests.
I admit, I've never seen one carrying one of those though.

Be sure to keep all door locked and tell the neighborhood watch for sure!
