Home Invaded

No Lie: Our television was there last night.

But it's gone this morning, along with laptop, game system, camera, more. YES -- STOLEN WHILE WE WERE SLEEPING DOWN THE HALL. Part of a neighborhood early morning plunder, including two stolen cars (not ours).

Quick Lessons:

1. It's easy to feel stupid.

2. Word travels quickly.

3. Everyone asks the same questions: Wasn't your door locked, didn't the dog bark, didn't you hear anything?

4. Each time you answer ... you feel stupid all over again.

MY QUESTION: What if we had woken up?

Those lessons ... could have been brutal.

Robin, sorry to hear what happened. I'm curious that this doesn't appear to have been reported in the press; it would seem that the public would need to be alerted to criminals as potentially dangerous as these.
