  1. What a week!  On Thursday someone came into our garage - door was up and wife was home.  We got a video from a neighbor and the guy came in and stayed 10 minutes!  He went through my wife's car and took some money and her garage remote.  He then went through my bike basket and took some money and an old pocket knife! He went to my bike and took an fluorescent water bottle holder from the bike handle.  We had to reprogram the garage door remote.... Today I lost the house key on my walk so went down to Lowe's to change our deadbolt and door handles!... Lucky for me I can watch my Colts!  WHAT THE GAME IS CANCELLED!... Oh well I've got my Coors Light!

      So, I'll tell you my terrible tale.  Years ago, I was at my brother in law's wedding.  When we went home we found that our glass door had been broken and the house ransacked.  The good news is that they caught the guys, they were driving a truck around, robbing houses and loading the truck.  So, I got my stuff back.  But, the police told me that often, houses are robbed 1 month later because criminals know that people have insurance and replace things.  Which we did.  So, even though they caught the criminals, they must have not caught everyone.

      We replaced our glass door side with a steel door/deadbolt and the neighborhood started a crimewatch.  One month later, the front door was taken off it's frame and the house ransacked again.  My neighbor didn't notice until she saw the police at our house.  WE MOVED.  That solved the problem.

      I have a friend who's mom has a kitchen in the garage.  I guess some Indian families use a garage kitchen to keep the smells out of the house.  She left the garage door partly open to let out smells and a kid came in and walked right into their house.  They had security camera on the entry from the garage so, they got a good picture and the police caught him.  That ending was happier than mine :(

      I dislike these war stories but we should share our experiences so some us can take notes and be a vigilant.  When we first moved into our newly built home (our present), I didn't turn the alarm on and you guessed it!  Basically money, old coins - dimes with no copper, buffalo nickels, old pennies, silver dollars, $2.00 bills and jewelry were taken!  They also took an outdated check book (account was closed) and tried to cash it.  My wife's name wasn't on it but they used her name.  It was tracked down and the check cashing company held the suspect.  We went to court but nothing happened after.  I guess the police dropped the case.  I learned a lesson to set the alarm!
