Have you ever been burgled?

My truck was stolen a few years back.  The cop told me I shouldn't leave the keys in it.

I still do.

It's a $2000 truck, albeit.

Had a really nice Craftsman tool set stolen.  Left my garage open in the middle of the day.  The once really nice neighborhood had been going to sh!t for a few years.  It was extra motivation to get my family out of there.  

I still havent replaced that set.

We have had people get into our cars outside our house a few times. The vehicles were unlocked, lesson learned. We also had a vacuum cleaner stolen off of our screened in porch. Where we are from, people usually steal smaller, easier to sell items to get more meth.

I always tell my kids to not leave spare change out in the open in their cars.  My daughter had this small metal bucket full of quarters and other change sitting in her cup holder.  Easy smash and grab for a meth head.  $10 for them and $400 repair for me.

a few weeks ago, somebody went through my pick up in the drive way.

got about 87 cents and 3 yr old $500 prescription rayban sunglasses.

am waiting for lenscrafters to open as I type to get the replacement pair.

had they gone through my shit in the back seat, they might have found my $300 gps, $150 dash cam and in the lid of the center console my $200 blue parrot headset.....

Did you leave it unlocked? Someone took some loose change out of my wife's car a few years ago. I always have to remind her to make sure she locks it.

One other time, someone broke into our shed but didn't take anything .Apparently my shovels and shit were not good enough for that thief. I was mildly offended.

Might've just used it for shelter? We've had that happen. All they took was food and some vodka. Tough to call that one burglary, all things considered, the last thing being that more than half the house was Tyvek at this point.

Nah it was during the summer and others in the area reported the same kind of thing. Not a whole lot of room in there for shelter.

Someone said earlier about not caring so much about what was stolen rather the feeling of an invasion that was most troubling. Even with just this shed incident and my wife's car, I can understand that feeling. Can't imagine how much worse that feeling would be if someone ever got into the house though.

Would have taken more but the popov gave me a case of the wilds.  Had to get out of there in a hurry!
