Thanks, Breny

. Oh yeah - we're right in Phoenix and live in a really nice neighborhood. Lately, there has been a rash of crime in the area - so the police think some criminals are "hitting" the area as much as they can until they've "hit it too much", then they'll move on to the next neighborhood. We have a 6-ft solid adobe fence around our yard - no deterrent today!

I'm going to check the doors now.

LOL!!! They probably just wanted to use the dang AC!!! Thanks for that one, love it.

Oh my goodness Ann, I would be so terrified! This is my #1 fear when leaving home for anything as I'm sure it's the same for everyone on here. Glad nothing happened though and the furbutts are safe and sound

Oh my goodness how scary this is, thanks heavens that the babies are ok, good for you for having a alarm system

BamaFan121s · 08-15-2008, 08:41 PM

Thank goodness you have an alarm!

That is so scary. When I was younger (teenager) our house was robbed...twice...by the same person. The creeps even went through our underwear drawers! It is a very violating feeling to know that some creep has been in your house going through your things.

I just don't get people, why can't they be honest and just get a job to support themselves like everyone else! How can they live with themselves by stealing from other people!?

Thank goodness the furbutts were OK!

I know!! Me and hubby were just looking at our babies again and said to each other "do you know how lucky we WERE today?" - so lucky.

sammiz · 08-15-2008, 09:21 PM

How terrible.

It makes you feel so invaded, doesn't it?

I was robbed at gunpoint once. Be careful!! I am thankful they were gone when you arrived. Desparation makes people do awful things!!

Thank God your babies were alright. I couldn't imagine being without my Sassy. It would likely kill me!

As soon as I got out of the car, I could hear the doggies barking and heaved with relief, thinking it was indeed just a false alarm of some kind. But when I got to the kitchen - the window to the backyard had been crow-barred open (even though it was locked), screen removed. They must've heard the alarm and took off without stepping a foot in the house - bc there was my SLR camera sitting right on the kitchen counter.

LUCKILY, we keep Marcel and Wylie in our Master bed/bath - so they were completely unable to run up to the burglars or anything (and I'm sure they would have) - they were safe in a whole different area - THANKFULLY.

So, I am really thankful for alarms and really glad that we do keep our dogs in a small area. I wouldn't care what "stuff" a burglar would take - but I don't know how I would survive them taking my babies.

The police dusted for prints too, but didn't find any they could use. Oh my. What a WEEK. Full Moon tomorrow, people, FULL MOON.

OMG ! That's my HUGE Fear living alone in an apartment - no alarm eigther.

Thank GOD you were all ok and that was a great investment to have security...what FREAKS that will steal and rob people - I hope they catch them !

Yorkieluv · 08-16-2008, 05:01 AM

OH NO!! That's so incredibly scary. Thank goodness the babies were okay!!

Actually we do have wrought iron bars on our lower side windows. It doesnt look bad either we have wrought iron in other places on the house. I am sorry that happened. When I was younger someone broke into our apartment and I know it makes you feel so violated even if they didnt steal anything I am also glad to here Marcel and willey are safe

tumismom · 08-16-2008, 05:53 AM

Grizzley Bear · 08-16-2008, 05:54 AM
