I am so sorry. I'm glad you and the cats are okay!

A similar robbery happened to friends of ours. The husband ran into town to get gas for the tractor. His wife left sometime after to run some errands. When the husband got home (15 minutes after his wife left), he found the front door open and the tv, cameras, golf clubs, and all her jewelry were gone.

I'm so sorry. In our old neighborhood, we were broken into 3x. That was over 40 years ago, and I can still remember. It's an icky feeling to be violated like that. I hope they catch the jerks. Thankfully, nobody was hurt. Stuff is replaceable. (except my 1st 35 mm camera with my pic of Paul McCartney's house in it )

How frightening! I'm glad, though, that you and your furkids are all safe. Hopefully, insurance will pay for the loss.

I am so sorry it happened to you. It IS a very disturbing experience. It happened to me twice. The first time- broad daylight, work day, between 1 and 415 pm, on a VERY busy corner, 11 unit apartment building. No one heard/saw a thing. Thankfully, my RB cat Tex was frolicking in the backyard unharmed.

The second time was in November, 2004, my first day back to work after J was born. It was done by one of the kids I had hired to do yardwork. Of course, duh, I knew who did it.

It took me a while to get over the first one, and the anger of the second one at least kept me from crying all day long being away from my 2 month old baby. Insurance covered everything each time, thankfully.

I am really sorry that this has happened to you. As everyone has said, it makes you feel so violated - someone stealing your things and going through all of your drawers etc.

I sadly, had the same experience and they got every single piece of jewelry I owned except for what I was wearing. What I had was not that valuable in dollars - but no price could be applied to the sentimental value of things from my relatives.

Before you report all to the insurance - be sure to look around. A friend was burglarized and it was months before she realized that all of her luggage had been stolen as well.

Any news, Gayle? Did the cops catch anyone or find any of your stuff?

That's really a scary thing...I hope you and hubby are feeling ok. Yikes. Our homes are "safe" territory...
