Let's make plans to get together soon.....

Yeah, changing the locks is a good idea. I didnt think about that.

Yes, we definitely need to get together soon. I hate I missed the last meet up. Looks like you guys had a great time! Im here all month except the week of the 13th. PM me or call me and let me know your schedule.

Um, that is really scary. I would be getting out of there.

judyeve · 08-02-2007, 10:20 AM

HOW AWFUL! Thank goodness Izzy is okay.

I read an article last week that stated home invasions and robberies are up from last years figures. More bank and store robberies too.
Until u can move just remember to lock windows, keep blinds closed and work with your landlord to ensure your and Izzy's safety.

Part of the problem is a lot of people are out of jobs due to layoffs, cut backs etc. Especially here in Michigan with the auto and manufacturing companies. I think the heat has something to do with it too. The hotter it is, the more people are out wandering around.

Oh, my goodness! What a thing to come home to! So glad Izzy is okay and that they didn't take anything more. I don't blame you for being scared to stay there. Take care!

At the risk of having a double post, I am writing again. I don't know if my computer was acting up and my earlier post got lost, or if the monitors are holding up my post to review it because I'm new.

If I were you, I'd have all the locked changed today. You don't know if they found spare keys and made impressions of them. You don't want them coming back for him. Also, I'd go over Izzy with a fine-tooth comb. Who knows what they might have done to him. I am so sorry you had to go through this.

Shaken up or not ... you are so so lucky Izzy was still there. Good thing they true idiots.
My brother had a break in once... they took a couple of his fancy knives he had displayed on the wall and his poker money and his 6 pack of beer out of the fridge. cops figured they were only after things for their drugy life.
what has the world made of its self?

How horrible!!! Have you figured out what they may have been looking for? They say a robery is usually done by someone you know and knows what you have of value. When your baby acted up at your friends, was it a fearful acting out?
Maybe instead of moving, you can just put a camcorder in your house and turn it on when you leave. Also get an AC so you can keep the windows shut. There was a couple from LA that moved out of state to get away from anything happening to them and ended up being murdered in their own home by a son-in-law, so you just can't run away because there are no really safe places to hide. You just have to be prepared is all. Thankfully they didn't take your fur baby. (((hugs))) to you both.

I know!! I feel so bad for the little guy. He was walking around the house with me just as confused as I was. I wish he could talk and tell me what the bad guys did!

I am going to try doggie daycare for a couple days a week to get him out of the house. I would love to do everyday, but its really expensive. Hopefully it will ease his mind and mine too.

I'm so sorry you were robbed - but glad they didn't take or hurt Izzy ...The same thing happened to my son and his neighbors found his 2 weiner dogs wandering around right near a busy street and lucky for them - took them in

I think it was either some kids or bums. It was really strange becuase they rummaged through all of the drawers in my bedroom and office. Then the went through anything that was in a box. Maybe they were looking for a weapon or money? I had a box full of pocket change that they opened but didnt take. I also had two old credit cards on my desk, they didnt take that either. My office was kind of a mess anyway because I was in the middle of organizing so I had stuff in piles on my desk and file cabinets. They didnt touch the kitchen, dining room or bathroom. They didnt even go through my closets.They did the same thing upstairs at my landlords place...didnt even go to the basement.

As far as Izzy's behavior, I couldnt tell if it was fearful or just him being his usual mischevious self. He peed on the floor at my friends house and on his comforter! After we took him outside. I had a puppy pad on the floor too. He was super hyper too, and he's usually pretty laid back.

Thanks for the hugs...we need them!

Oh I am sooooo thankful they didnt take Izzy!! They could have taken the TV or DVD player and I wouldnt be upset...but Izzy...oh no! There would have been a major problem.

Thank you! There are no spare keys in the house...but we are going to change the locks. I called him a little while ago. His door was damaged anyway because they broke the lock off.

Yeah, now that is sad. People are desperate these days, job losses, gas going up...crazy world...

rontiss1 · 08-02-2007, 11:18 AM

Thank God they didnt take your baby. I know how it is to be robbed. Only when I was robbed, it was in broad daylight, and these 3 guys came dressed in utility outfits like they were movers or something. They took all my jewelry, my hidden cache of money that they found in my drawer and some collector items. They found the key to my townhome because I noticed it was gone! I immediately got a locksmith that day and had the locks changed. The neighbor across from me, said she saw the three guys go into the townhome but didnt question it. Said she thought they were movers or something. Besides she said she doesnt get involved in those kind of things! Oh well, I have 3 locks on my door, an electric alarm and a alert system that goes directly to the Los Angeles Police Dept. I dont live in the best of neighborhoods but any neighborhood nowadays are targets for break-ins!
Also, I have notices on my windows that show I am protected via Brinks alarm system. Im always on the lookout and dont trust anyone. They also robbed me of my highschool ring! I pray to God daily and I am vigilant! They must have been in my townhome before because I had some repairs done here. They must have taken my key and had a duplicate made.
