It's been a while since I've posted. Sorry.
Today, our house was broken in to. They knew what they were doing. They got several of my firearms, along with some of
pharmtoxgirl 's jewelry, my computer monitor, headset, a camera, our "old" laptop, and other stuff that we probably don't know of yet. Whomever it was, they knew what they were doing and went straight for it. They started disassembling and hauling other item away, but something interrupted them. We don't know what it was, but it prevented them from taking a lot more. My PC was left in the living room by the (open) door. The thieves dumped out a frame we had gotten for our anniversary and started filling it with items, such as our GPS and a camera. They did not get our new lap top, which they had unplugged and moved to the side.
They trashed the house, but fortunately they did not break much. We are still cleaning up. I cleaned the bedroom enough so that we could go to bed, but neither of us can sleep.
I was supposed to be doing job site checks today, but I left the house without the GPS or my cell phone. I just used that as an excuse not to do them and do other work today. If I had done job site checks, I would have come by my house to get those items. Maybe I'd have scared them off. Maybe I'd have met them in the house. Who knows. I am so frustrated right now.
