Unreal. Lee & I are so sorry. What a crappy thing to have happen, and right before your birthday. Give us a shout if we can help you somehow.

**Adventure Girl** · 12-12-2006, 09:52 PM

Wow. I'm really sorry to hear this! There really are no words that will make it all better. The bright side is that nobody got hurt physically, but the feeling of being victimized just sucks. Somebody else has YOUR stuff. Somebody else has been in your space. Damn!

What a bunch of ********** &&&&&&&&'s.

I sure hope you can feel safe in your own home again.

Take care

Veronica--Sorry to hear about what happened to you and Thom. Hopefully, the cops will be able to catch these jerks.

Omigod. The NERVE of some people!!!

That sux majorly.
I'm just glad no one was home or hurt during the event. Stuff can be replaced. A sense of security and safety..that one will be tougher.
Best to you both. Remember....not everyone is evil. There are a lot of really good people out there. Keep the faith.

Poor Veronica!! That's is so nasty. I'm so sorry!!!

I do think it's good though that they didn't take any bikes. Shows you how stupid they were. Walmart??--that's where they went to shop afterwards???

Guess they were low on cigarettes and Mountain Dew.

I hope you get to feeling secure soon.

**SheFly** · 12-13-2006, 04:36 AM

So sorry, V! That's a terrible thing to have happen at any time of year, let alone just before a big birthday and Christmas. As others have said, please let us know if there is anything that we can do!

Wishing you peace and calm....

Wow, V...that totally sucks. I'm so sorry!

I hope you regain your home 'peace' again soon.

How awful, I'm so sorry. The violation of your home and privacy is bad enough, but the identity theft with the loss of credit cars, passports, etc. makes it even worse. Take care.

**bambu101** · 12-13-2006, 08:21 AM

So sorry to hear this. We have had this happen several times, and it is very creepy knowing that some slimeball went through my underwear drawer!

Hope you regain peace in your lives soon.

**eclectic** · 12-13-2006, 08:34 AM

I am so sorry to hear this has happened to you. {{{{hug}}}}

I am with all others re the ID theft - take all precautions you can

I can't even imagine the horror of this happening. I don't even know of anyone around here who has ever been burglarized.

And someone mentioned about a neighbor's dog being poisoned before the house was robbed. - I always thought I would be a little safer because of my dog, - got me to rethinking that one.

Prayers that you get this mess sorted out as easily as possible - such an emotional and time drainer. {{{{{hug again}}}}}}

How awful. How scary! I hope you recover your laptop. I hope Karma catches up to those creeps soon.

**indysteel** · 12-13-2006, 05:21 AM

Veronica, that is just awful. I was burglarized when I was in college, and the thought of people walking around my house like that bothered me for a long time. I'm glad no one was hurt and that the cats are okay. I have cats, too, and they're the main reason that I have an alarm on my house.

Be sure to take steps to protect yourself from identity theft since they have your passports. You might check with the credit bureaus about putting an alert on your credit report.

Hang in there,

Kate

Oh that just sucks. Especially now.

When I was in college, my apartment was robbed while my roommate and I were away on a break between semesters. They broke a window to get in and only took some silver dollars, a cooler, and a radio--left bikes, stereo, jewelry. Must've been kids, and not very bright kids at that. Still, it was frightening, and we never felt quite safe there again.

I'm hoping for a good outcome for you from this--sending positive thoughts in your direction.

V, I am so sorry. It took me at least a year to get over when someone just _tried_ to get into our house. I felt so helpless- but didn't feel like doing the one thing that the cops said would do the most to prevent a reoccurance- get a dog. But I did put sticks in the windows to hold them down, get automatic outdoor lights so it's not dark out there, get a motion sensor for both sides of the house so if someone approaches it- a doorbell goes off- and you can hear it outside- so they would hopefully think it was alerting someone at home. I used to leave a radio on all the time that you could hear from the back door. I got alarms (motion sensors) inside that we set every time we leave. I told both neighbors about it, and we all watch out for each other's houses. I put a human target dummy in the bedroom window that is shot to cr*p so they know there is a shotgun user in the home. I have lights that go off and on at reasonable times- and we have one or two or even three spare vehicles parked in the yard at any one time. I especially think the squad car is a good deterrent. I started carrying my laptop with me, and all my little cameras and iPods and all that every time I left my house.

But still- it takes a while for the fear and feeling of violation to go away even a little, and they didn't even get _in_ my house. I am so sorry for you...
