My home was robbed twice. In 1994, my home was ransacked while I was at work. The thief called my workplace to see if I was working that day. Living in the country, with a long driveway, my home was an easy target, but the creep got caught a few days later when he was stopped for a traffic violation and had some of my stolen possessions in the back seat.
The second time, a year or so later, my shotgun was stolen, subsequently used in a crime, and the shooter got in a fatal wreck during a police car chase. The guy who stole the gun in the first place was also killed in a car accident a few years later.
I knew both guys who robbed me.

Our home got broken into (rear slider door, not very secure) and they took the two pocket books which my wife had hanging on the pantry closet door knob. We were home, sleeping, when it happened. He did the same on next street, they found pocketbooks with cards, and checkbooks, only cash and nondescript jewelry was taken. He got caught weeks later, person was home, heard noise, called cops, they saw his footprints in snow, let them to him.

No but I have had my car stolen. It was locked but they popped the lock, drove it around the neighborhood, got stuck in a ditch, tried to rock it out and destroyed the transmission. The ruts in the ditch were over a foot deep!

Had my car broken into once. Well,not exactly. I've never locked my car doors and still don't. 1 break-in in over 35 years and I haven't driven a lime-green Pinto in 30 years ! Must be the tinted windows.

My car was broken into at the local shops one evening about 8 years ago.All they stole was a set of old keys that were in the console.They wouldn't do them much good.They were for the house on the Gold Coast where the locks (&Doors) had been changed already. The folks next door have been burglarised 4 times.They now have security screens on every window.

My home and business was broken into, I was robbed at knifepoint once. I was ok as long as he was about 5 feet away and the knife point was pointing at me but when he flipped it and put it over his head in a show that he was about to throw, I gave him what he wanted-- He was caught 40 minutes later-- his friend turned him in because he wouldn't share. LOL! Seriously! I didn't press charges because I really felt bad for the guy, he had his wife's pantyhose over his face, he just wanted money for his family. They had a baby and he had no job-- i could not put him in jail. he came by later to thank me and apologize.

My home got broken into one very warm summers day. I was sleeping, as I worked nights. My TV was taken, the noise woke me from deep sleep, I saw a man standing in hall way, he could see me in bed, at first I though it was my husband, I asked who is that, and a voice I didnot know, said, are you ok. I said I dont think so. he just left. I was in such a shock, I got dressed and went out for a walk, leaving my door wide open. Thinking about it after, I think there was two men, one had gone with TV, and man standing in hall was waiting for him to come back, to take some thing else. In many ways I was very lucky.

Its amazing how some people are willing to give up their life to steal someone else possessions. They just are not scared to die.

PKB, were they friends of your sons ? My sister in law's house got robbed by one of her son's friends when he was in H.S. Some friend, huh ? Well, he was there so much, so he knew what to steal.

The FIRST one was horrid. He eventually went to prison, and I saw him a few years ago. I wanted to walk up to him and slap his face with every ounce of strength I had.
