Stay safe please!

[Barbara]

This is a reminder to all of us.I was in bed sleeping sometime early Fri morning....i thought i had everything locked up safe and sound will i had left a window unlocked.Some tryed to break in my cat room could not get in .So they got in throught the unlocked window toook some of my moms things.Got my purse and took $42.00 and my car keys.I no longer have a car .I got up at 5a.m. to let my gogs go out and no car.I called the cops they made a report.I think someone got it to use to get drugs not sure but i feel that.Anyway i feel that God was keeping me & my babies safe and out of harms way.I just wanted you all to stay safe and be very careful.I am now going to get a alarm system.

So i am asking you all to ckeck and make sure everything is locked before going to bed or anywhere.

Oh my God, thank God you and your family are ok!
Yes definetely get an alarm system, I did when I found a stranger looking through our windows and it made us feel a lot safer.
I'm suprised your dogs didn't bark with someone in the house.

Theres a great show called It Takes a Thief where 2 former thives give tips on protecting your home.
Discovery Channel :: It Takes a Thief

An Oprah did a show on keeping your home safe from burglers and has a lot of tips too
Home Security Safety Tips

Hope it helps in some way. You stay safe too hon.

Oh my goodness Barbara!!!I am glad you and your family didn't get harmed.We have two huge dogs and a medium sized one,so I know that if someone is brave enough to walk in our home and we don't know them..they will definitely be met with the dogs and one Marine.

omigod..that is scary!! oh Barbara im really glad nothing bad happened to you and your family...i cant imagine going through such an experience...

Hey Barbara - so sorry to hear about the burglary in your home! Thank goodness you're safe. I'm glad to hear you're getting an alarm system. I hear they're really not that cost-prohibitive. Hope you can recover from this unfortunate incident. Take care and thanks for reminding us all to be safe.

Wow, I am glad that you are ok! I am so surprised in cases like this that the thieves can do it without waking the householder, it just goes to show how easy it is to do it

[Barbara]

Thanks ! I got a call from the police last nite they found my car it was fine.Just kids going for a joy ride.

[britjojo]

That's wonderful news! I think though that I would always feel funny driving it, knowing that they had nicked off with it and done who knows what in there. I guess I'd sell as soon as I could

[Barbara]

Thanks i would love to get rid of it now because of that.But no funds at this time.I am going to save a try to get another car later.And it feels strange driveing it knowing there was jerks in it.

[angelthelson]

sorry this is late but im glad you and your family are fine!! i wish everything will work well with you in selling your car whew!

[Barbara]

Thanks! We have a wonderful caring board here.Update i just found out that a few streets over from me.There was a mother & daughter that was robbed like me.And this is crazy there dogs did not bark at all.what is up with that? Thanks God they sleep thro it too.

That's terrible. I'm glad they decided enough was enough and left.

We just took a short vacation and our car was robbed while we were loading it. We went inside and someone took all my son's electriconics and our portable DVD player. They just ripped it off the seat. My son I felt the worst for. He cried and cried.

I am so very sorry hon and for you son.Its just not fair it would be better if they just worked and got there own things.But i guess its a thrill for them.

But i am not sure how some feel about this. But i do believe in KARMA and it will bite them in the butt.

You may not see it happen but it will get them.

That poor woman. What's she doing to herself? She was photographed slumped over in her car recently. Cocaine was found in the car as well. I feel for her being so young and now in trouble.


If you could write her an encouraging letter what would it say?


I would tell her to hang in there and get back on track. Most people are pretty forgiving and would love to see her get her life back. I know I wouldn't hold anything against her.

Oops, I meant for this post to be a thread. I'll re post it.

I'm glad you're OK - it could have been so much worse. In a way, you're really lucky.

I really hope the police catch the guy who broke in.

I hope you get an alarm fitted soon - in a few months time, they may come back to see if you're still an easy target.
