I woke up Sun morn to a sound in the living room. It was about 6:45 and I didn't want the 7 year old to be awake yet so I came out. I saw Simba (damn old cat) who was in and I knew he was out last night so I looked into the office and the door was wide open (but it was still locked). In the drive I saw 2 teenage kids about 14 years old packing up. I called 911 and they ran off, one was wearing my backpack. The cops were at my door within 2 minutes and he went speeding off looking for them a few minutes later another cop came and took my statement. They took an old laptop my xbox 360, 3 games and SWMBO purse (no money but ID and all that crap), and SWMBO ipod nano.
So I am pretty pissed. The door was still locked when I got up even though it was open and I don't know what happened there if it just didn't catch or they had a slim jim. The cop was there so quick because there had been a lot of calls that morn from this area with alarms going off. They didn't get anything we care about, we have to see if its worth making an insurance claim or not but SWMBO was up at 6:30 this morn and fed Simba (I know I saw him out last night) so I am pretty sure they were in the house at that time and she didn't see them. I saw they had my camera out so maybe I interrupted them I know I heard them and I am pretty sure what I heard was them dropping the xbox controllers. Nothing went bad but it seems like it really could have.
And the dog didn't do her job. She is mostly deaf and she isn't barking the way she used to. Having a dog did help me feel safe in this crappy neighborhood so it may be time for a new one.
Having got a look at the kids they were just kids and not crazy looking felon types, I doubt they had weapons and they look like the would have pissed themselves if cornered. ( I almost ran after them but I was in my underwear). But you never know with this stuff.
Anyway I am looking at puppies. So thats good.
