    My house was robbed!

    I came home at almost 6:30, and discovered that my house had been robbed. They were only kids, and really didn't take much, (some money, my mom's old laptop, a disposable cell phone, costume jewelry, my backpack and prescription sunglasses from me, a laptop, and Ipod and a digital camera from my housemate). No damage, they just dumped some drawers in my room. But I hate feeling violated like that. Creeps. Now I have to take off work and call ADT and get a locksmith to change the locks. I already locked down all my banl accounts. I will get some identity theft protection tomorrow too. *sigh*

    Ain't life grand?

      I'm glad they ignored your toys though.

      You know...most thieves don't bother about stuff like that.

      I have a Trekkie friend of mine who has a huge Star Trek collection...and when they robbed his house...they took his computer, video camera. and flatscreen...but they did NOT touch any of his collectibles.

      Thank God most robbers are not savvy about that.

            Sharry...your neighborhood is pretty nice...do you have a neighborhood watch group in your block?

            We do...seems to work pretty good...although the occasional car stereo brake-in happens once in a while....like it happened to my truck...luckily the thief was nice enough not to brake my window...he opened my truck door with some professionalism...lol.

              Yeah...I think it's money well spent.

              It will cost you around $50 per month (plus the control unit, $200)...not too shabby.

              Aside from your doors and windows...get motion-sensors as well.

              That's if you want an alarm service...you can also go for a stand-alone alarm...it will not have a monitor-system service...but as long as it makes tons of noise...that should be good enough for your needs.

              I like the monitor-system though...operators will call the cops immediately...better chance to catch the little suckers.

                  Thanks Darren. I'll keep that in mind. But my brother, (who owns this house), wants me to call ADT. But I'll let you know.

                      Oh that sucks about those sunglasses. They were beautiful. Probably didn't realize they were prescription lenses.

                      So glad that you are OK though. At least it happened while you were not there.
