UGH. I'm so sorry.

I presume the police can't/won't do anything? That would definitely get to me. We actually have a security system as of the last year. We didn't want one, but we kind of thought our number might be up and decided to err on the side of caution. I don't like paying to protect my $hit, but I really do appreciate that the thing would wake me up if someone came in overnight (or when I'm sleeping weird hours thanks to the med student schedule).

So sorry, Oak. I don't know the circumstances, but that just doesn't sound right. If people know who did it, can't they be reported and questioned at least?

It's not like we "know" know. It's like, these people are a known problem, they've broken into other surrounding houses and gotten caught doing that, there are only a handful of people who even know our house is back here. We're half a mile from the road on a shared lane - we try to intercept any parcel deliveries and have them held at the depot, but when that doesn't happen, half the time the delivery drivers leave the parcel at one of the other houses on our lane because *they* don't even know our house is here. So there's a pretty limited pool of people who might have done it, and most of those I know well enough to be sure they didn't, but no evidence against anyone.


Security system wouldn't help anything for the same reason, but I'm thinking about a webcam that would at least capture images and let us know if someone's inside.

Our web cam helped us a lot during the sale of our house. But, the reason we got it was because we had a weird scam-like thing happen in 2008. We were in San Diego for Thanksgiving, when DH got an angry phone call from a woman berating him for stealing her credit card and using it to order things to be delivered to our house. It was surreal, when it happened; we were in Barnes and Nobles, purusing books with both of our sons. But, DH and the woman figured out that somehow her data and DH's had been compromised, and we were worried that a bunch of packages were going to be dropped off on our front door, which, as you know, isn't really visible to anyone. We called the Concord Police, and they either intercepted the scammers before anything got delivered, or the people got scared. But, it freaked us out, and as I said, I am not the paranoid type at all. It was also helpful when we were away and the weather, was bad, we could monitor the need for snow removal or if a package was delivered when we were not there.

Mind if I ask what system you used?

It is a Logitech, but it has been discontinued. There is much better technology out now.
