eventful night

[cusackam]

So someone tried to break into our house last night. The MPs did a totally worthless job of trying to find the guy. He tried my house and one of my neighbors. Our friends that are here he was able to see the guy and so did my neighbor. This crap only happens when Rick is gone.

I am glad you guys are okay.
That sounds so scary.

Were you home at the time? That's insanely scary. Whether you were or not. Crap.

I was asleep and I didn't even hear it. My friends heard my screen door open and then him trying to open the door and kitchen door.

Holy crap. David wants to get a stun gun for me (I told him I'm too chicken to use one of our real ones) before he leaves but I keep telling him it isn't necessary. Maybe I'm wrong :( I guess I'm stuck with feeling safe that I have my giant here.

Maybe you should get a dog.. or a beware of dog sign?

We have had a dog, I don't have the time or desire to deal with a dog on top of these kids solo.

We live in a duplex and the neighbors have a BIG black lab that is always out in the backyard. My other neighbor who's house they also tried getting in has 3 dogs, one is a wolf/rotweiler mix and it doesn't get much scarier than that. So even a dog wasn't a deterrent.

A stun gun may not be a bad idea...... I have a baseball bat for now.

Oh, so it was a dumbass that tried to break in!!

I don't blame you.. I want a puppy but I'll lose my mind if I have to deal with one without David. My sister keeps a shotgun under her bed because the sound of cocking it will scare most people away. I'm still going the stun gun route though.

I should find an old shotgun somewhere........ just for show. The thought of having a real gun in the house that the kids might find is too scary. I am all for keeping them locked up but when it comes to an intruder, do you really have time to go unlock your guns?!?!?!

I think I'll look into a stun gun..... I might get some of those self install door and window alarms also from Home Depot or Lowes.

That's one of my biggest fears. I'm really glad you guys are OK and that they weren't able to make it inside. Even so :\
