I'm really glad to hear yours was paid for though, that is awesome!
Yesterday, someone was apparently trying to get into my credit card account online, guess they tried to log in 10 times, so my account got locked. They also tried to charge $411 somewhere near my house. It *really* creeps me out that they may live near here...it's making me paranoid being at the house alone and/or leaving my dogs alone in the house...what if they break in  ? We have ADT, but still. |
You poor thing - that is truly creepy. Stay paranoid for a while. Check you home and vehicles nightly to be sure everything is locked up and secure, make that a habit. If you don't have it, buy lots of outside lighting, be sure your gates all lock, you have bolted storm doors on all entryways, double-locked windows, no huge shrubbery around your windows and areas of entry. Be sure your alarm is on all the time.
Just be vigilant for the next two months or so and usually the transitory-type thieves will move out of the area they are preying on after that, from the things I read after my sister was burglarized. I read car thieves usually wind up being a criminal on the run, needing a car urgently, semi-pro and professional car thieves, drug-dealers and joy riders, not usually neighbors. Yours could be a couple of semi-pros who are transients, move around every so often, robbing nearby neighborhoods. I read that they usually rent a cheap house/motel room near the area they work, watch the area for a while, learning the habits of the people, exploit the cars and homes they easily can, even returning to the same homes at times and then move on before the police can see their pattern and find them.
It's such a shame when people put so much effort into sneaking around and stealing from others who've worked long and hard for all they have instead of just getting down to making themselves successful at honest work they can take pride in. I hope you can feel safe in your home again in another couple of months or so.
