The title says it all.
I live in a fairly high rent neighborhood, on a lake, with very good neighbors around me.
Sometime between 5:00 and 6:45 AM this morning our house was robbed. I, my wife, my 16 y/o son and my 14 y/o daughter were home at the time, and everyone but my wife was up getting ready. We were all upstairs, and the BG's stayed downstairs, but evidently, the burglars were interrupted in the process and fled. We are 100% confident that they were in the house while we were up, because our pitbull did not hear them or react, and that would only happen if she was not alarmed by what she thought was regular movement.
They took mostly small items. However, that included my wallet with my ID, concealed weapons permit, cell phone, my wifes cell phone, my EDC knife and McLux PD, custom ordered from McGizmo.
They missed my son's wallet with $100 cash sitting within 3 feet of mine, (Like most fathers, my wallet had no cash in it!), the SpaceNeedle II with Assault and batteries less than 18" from the PD, and several other MUCH more valuable items in the same basket as the cell phone.
The toughest thing to replace is my cell phone, which stores all my numbers to my many contacts on CPF and businesswise.
I have to replace all my ID so I can travel Thursday.
In addition, I will be installing some additional dead bolts and security measures before I leave.
I guess the only thing I can say is, "It can happen to you, it happened to me!"
