never be replaced. They did not take the dog, a little terrier mix gated
in the kitchen. Had he been a Yorkie they probably would have.
You have every right to be nervous. I don't want to scare you but
it's true. I would get a light timer and set it different each day.
They don't ramdom rob they watch and learn your pattern. Set
the timer to turn on different times different days so they think
someone may be in the house. Use a dead bolt.
I had a ranch and they broke the back masterbedroom window and
climbed in and stole everypiece of jewerly I had. In and out in minutes. Memories that can never be replaced.
I really had no alarm just posted the signs to let people think I did.
Of course after the fact I had one put in.

I know if people want to get in they will. But once we get out of here I will feel so much safer. I know any place anywhere can get robbed but living here just makes me feel like I am daring them.
I am going to do the light timer, that is a great idea.
I was just talking to another person and they said 6 people have been robbed 3 of them people walking on the street. Mind you I go hiking behind our house every day I have off. The police told us it may be the same group but I can tell you one thing...I am not sticking around to find out. I was planning on moving into town in October so I am just pushing it up a few months.
