I agree... It is so hard to feel safe in your home after someone strange has violated you and your home. We had our home broken into one time. The hubby was in bed and I had just gotten of work from second shift. I notice the front door light was not on and thought the bulb had burned out... I came home and went to bed a few hours later. The next morning I notice the storm door on the back of the house was set to stay completely wide open and I went downstairs and the basement window was broken out, they climbed down and on top of the washer and I guess before they entered the house they unscrewed the front porch light bulb and then around back and broke the window out while the hubby was asleep and before I arrived home. It looks like when I came home they may have been getting ready to carry things out the back door (the reason why they had the storm door wide open, but the back door was shut) I had no idea someone might had been in the house that night, they may have been in there when I came and crawled back out the window they came in through. Anyhow it took me a long time to sleep in the house at night. We did get a dog right away, a few small items were taken (items they could stuff in their pockets). But the idea that they may have been in the basement when I came home freaks me out as I did not go downstairs that night... I probably just turned on the TV until I unwound enough to go asleep. The thing is they had to break in sometime between 10pm and 12 midnight. As I got home at midnight and the hubby went to bed at 10pm. The hubby didn't know anything about until I discovered it the next day and called him at work. He got up for work that morning and also never went downstairs and didn't notice the storm door wide open on the back door. The police came and discovered the front porch bulb was unscrewed and they took a report, but they never did catch them.
