Our area of Houston is under attack now and we are on the alert every minute of every day. So far I don't know of anyone who has has this exact thing happen to them but it is probably coming. Mostly the criminals around here will ring your door bell and if no one is at home they come around back and break in. The house across the street from us has been broken into twice in a year. I live in a very nice part of town BTW.

A friend of mine used to live in El Paso. Her car was stolen and she didn’t understand why because she lived in a nice part of town. I told her that’s why it was stolen. People who live in the nice part of town usually have nice things that the not so nice people want.

A nice handgun near the door would have been a good option.

longstanding and effective tactic of typical burglars...especially those times of year when the sun has set early, and the whole street is full of *dark* houses...

fortunately, at 20% unemployment, most streets wont be dark...

home invaders, of this sort, dont seek empty houses, just undefended ones...
