I keep my doors locked for sure, and I have a dog, but she's so old and little, she wouldn't be able to do anything but bite a toe...poor thing is just about deaf too. :( I think because we now have the second car and one is always here, I'm fairly safe....whoever did this knew the house was empty, I don't think they want any confrontation. Still, I'm scared. :( This is the third break-in in just my cul de sac in the 8 years we've lived here. Not to mention the dozen or so others in the surrounding cul de sac's. I'm ready to move NOW!
Girl.... get a FOID card, take some classes and get some protection. You will feel ALOT better.

Go to Lowes and get some magnetic reed switches to mount on your windows; and then got to the local sign shop and get some decals made up to look like alarm co. stickers. Cops say this will keep out most thieves. You can even get one of those little audible alarm boxes for fairly cheap. Mount these on the front and back door, and if the thieves call your bluff on the stickers the alarm will send them running.

I'll be getting all that stuff!!! Beth and I are talking about it right now.

whatever you have to get STAY safe!!! PLEASE! sounds scary to me.
I've been spoiled living in a very small community for the last 13 yrs so we don't have much crime in the neighborhood. Our town is one of those where if you're talking to someone about the lady at the bank... that person is probably related to her so you don't want to say the wrong thing.
 
I can PIF you some of these :D

I have the same problem!! :blush: :laugh: actually... it's not MY problem it's theirs right>? :laugh:

Dang B! I'm sorry to hear that....scary stuff, some good advice given already. I know with kids and all guns are of concern to parents.....I use extra care, but I have one if needed, with the alarm and dogs......let's just say I have no problem sleeping at night. Just glad to hear she's ok as well as poochie. boB

I have pepper spray, and I know how to use it! Melanie, if YOU have pepper spray, I beg you now, have your husband hide it until all your company is gone!

Also, I just watched a commerical for "EZ Smoker" on my freakin' TV! It's, of course, a scam "free trial offer" BS, but dude, e-cigs on my TV!
