    whoa. Been there. The police did catch my thief - when they came to tell me I asked, "Does he have a job?" - which was a stupid question I guess, but he had broken into other houses and we already knew that..... The police-woman said, "Yeah, he's a burglar." I actually thought that was quite funny - but I was still glad that she let me know they caught him. My stuff was gone, though. Along with my peace of mind.

    Your story hammers home what I have been thinking lately, that I had better inventory and give to my insurance agent all my personal items. It's good for any insurance claims, including burglary or natural losses. I've been putting it off. My agent says take pictures of everything and keep a copy off-site as well as send him a copy. I thought that was good to know.

    I now sleep with a - (go ahead and laugh...) - fire extinguisher next to the bed. I don't want a gun, because then it can be stolen or used against me, but not only is the foam debilitating - that sucker weighs probably 15 pounds - I could smack 'em pretty good with it.

    Just a moment of :laugh: for ya. Glad everyone's okay. We are family here.

    Very scary! Glad everyone is okay and hope they get the guy!
    I had an apartment that had gotten broken into once, my now husband called me (he got home first, it was done during the day) and said "what did you do here!!!" I said "what are you talking about?"
    He thought I rummaged through things and made a mess, not realizing we'd been burglarized! We also had our bikes stolen out of the hallways.
    And in college my car got broken into. It felt really creepy and I felt violated!
    I hated the feeling!
    Glad you're okay!

    haha..same thing happened to me...my partner was like..Why did you leave the backdoor open all night?! We are pretty sure that it was the neighbor boy next door and his friend. We noticed today that his friend was wearing these Adiadas shoes which have the same print that was in our sink...hmmmm!!!!! I just hope that the police are able to find something on them, like the fingerprints! I know Karma comes around, but I just want to see it..haha..
