My next door neighbor called me last Friday wondering if I saw anything strange in the area. She returned home around 7 p.m. to find her basement window had a rock thrown through it and her front door had been kicked in. Her husbands laptop gone. "I don't want to concern you, but did you see anything?" Concern me....who me.....concerned?? Of course I'm concerned! I did not see anything but concerned is an understatement. I'm so upset for my sweet neighbors. They moved in only 6 months ago and have a 2 month old baby. She had been gone that day since 1 p.m., so apparantley these brazen morons did this crime in daylight on our busy, busy street, I might add. She said earlier that week twice there had been a knock on the door and when she went to answer no one there. They have one car, which her husband takes to work. So, without a garage it appeared no one was home. Well, last Friday someone threw a rock through her window, then when no one came out of the house, they came back and kicked in the door. Her basset hound throws himself at the back door when he hears his family come in the front door, so they figure the robber heard that and ran off quickly with just the laptop. Suffice it to say we are looking more diligently for a new hood. This is just the umpteen time, I've been "concerned" or scared out of my mind, in other words. This past week we had installed grade 3 security locks for the front and side door.... they have double strike plates and we also had a metal plate put in the door frames. Josh also gave me a refresher course on how to use his guns. I plan on just bringing the posse to their attention. See posse picture. No one would get past Biance, look at that face....GRRRRRRR!
