Guess what! Our alarm works! We were able to test it out when someone tried to break in - AGAIN! My theory (one officer agreed, the other had no opinion) was the thief's "
methy" girlfriend came back to get our replacements.
Our neighbor saw a rather scraggly woman knocking on our door and I saw her leaving when I pulled up to the house. In my too-much-tv mind, I think she was the girlfriend coming back for more, and was scared off by the alarm. The officer on duty back in September warned that it may happen again. Apparently once you know what goods you have and where you stash them, it's much too tempting to leave it be. So, once the insurance check clears and you replace - they strike again!
This post is not to scare, but to warn. In these tough times, people want what you got! The officer from last night suggested we arm ourselves. I tried to explain that Ryan and I are the last two people to be trusted with a gun. We'll see how I feel after round 3...
