It is sickening the clever ruse the used to get by their defenses. Who would not open a door to the mailman and be lulled into a false sense of security when they asked for a pen. I really hope your in laws can get over the psychological damage. I was robbed during the daytime but luckily for me I was not a home. I still will not sleep with my windows open, 1st floor apartment, and always check things out as I enter my apartment and it has been years. FYI I thought I saw them casing my place again about 6 months later. I called the police and they said it is common for them to wait for you to replace the stolen items and pay a return visit. The suspects were a woman in a jogging outfit who was stretching in my apartments courtyard and a family style mini van was idling in our carport in the back where my back door is located (where they broke in). I saw the min van first as I went to investigate why they were back there the van speed away slowing only long enough for the woman to see it and jump in. They looked like all the other people who walk through the neighborhood all the time. It taught me they don't have to look like a criminal to be one.
