I recognize the risk, and yes, I have considered that, but I have declined cases that are in my immediate neighborhood. I do not believe that I have any clients who know where I live and I really only have one (probably another before the end of the week) that is really ticked at me. One of our investigators has had her home broken into 3 times. She p*sses lots of people off.
Doesn't make much difference whether I'm armed or not if I'm not home. I do need to make the locks more secure though. I am concerned about the little hooligan that lives behind me that has a history of doing such things. I suppose I should report it to the police, but I would feel silly since nothing is missing.
