I'm shaking right now *scary*

Oh wow!!! I hope that catch that other guy soon.

Makes me want to lock up like Fort Knox!

Isn't that weird? I had always pictured thieves as noiser with a lot of
commotion going on. They looked almost professional.

Sorry I've taken so long to respond. I worked another 12 hour day (blah)

I myself was surprised they just let us drop the 911 call. I thought they didn't like false calls. I felt like a major goober for calling then saying "nevermind".

The father called us back today and said we should call the cops straight away next time. Will the kid be stupid enough to try it again tonight or tomorrow?

He was with a friend. I didn't like the looks of either boy last night - total gang-bangers! (I'm told by my kids that I am too dorky to use that phrase ) The friend even had a gang emblem tattooed on his arm.

I didn't ask hubby until this morning what he thought of last night and he said exactly what I thought: the son was there to rob his father blind. Apparently dad was floored by our call and hubby said he got the feeling dad knew his son was there to rob him. I'm sure we'll hear the fight of the century when the father and son get in the house together.

My brother robbed me and I can tell you the kick in the gut was not only emotional but a physical feeling. It was drug induced but I didn't speak to him for years. Got calls to bail him out of jail on numerous occasions and just didn't pick up the phone. My mom did bail him out usually but I just had to remove myself from that situation. We are fine now as he's gotten his **it together but I have to admit it's always in the back of my mind and I wouldn't give him a key to my house
Catnapper, Do NOT doubt your instinct. I read somewhere that it's the biggest mistake women make. If you think you are being followed, 9 out of 10 times you are. If you feel in your GUT the kid did it, I'm 99.9% sure he did. Don't second guess yourself for fear of being labeled paranoid or a "stupid woman" I felt your heartbreak loosing such personal things when you were robbed. Thankfully my brother only took cash and credit cards. I completely understand the violation and insecurity you feel. I say you nail the bastard one way or another...I bet you can find out who he pawned your stuff too.
Perhaps and attack kitty is in order?? LOL

I was finally able to let Nicki outside tonight to do her potty --- she refused to go when the fireworks were booming. Anyway, my neighbor on the other side was doing the same with his dog. I told him about the attempted break-in and he told me that this kid is already in trouble for stealing a bunch of bikes from the playground a few blocks from here. He's got a court date in a few weeks regarding the bike thefts. This kid is starting out his adult life in a grand way. Grand Theft that is!

Also, I had the WORST nightmare about robberies last night. So bad I jumped out of bed screaming. I woke the whole house and my heart was about to tear through my chest. It was so real. It took a while for my heart to stop beating. S-C-A-R-Y. My heart never beat like that before.

I am glad you finally feel safer in your own home!

But I would have been scared as well!

How about getting a Golden Retriever and a Rottwieler to guard your house? LOL! But, this is scarey.

I have guard cats!

I wanted to get another big dog but Miss Nicki really can't live with another dog. We'll have to wait, I don't want to hurt her by getting another dog. Most people see her and run though. They have no idea she's a gentle old soul. I have seen big-bad-guys cross to the other side of the street when they saw her. Only someone who knew Nicki would know she is harmless.

Kim,

You did the right thing by calling the cops. Regardless of whether it's the owner's son or not. I hope this kid AND his cohort catch the rath of God from his father.

You and Grant ever consider putting an alarm in your house??? It's worth the money and will allow you to get a good night's sleep.
