Seriously. It happened Saturday during the night and at least two of our neighbors were robbed as well. I admit to being one of those bleeding heart types who likes to trust the world, so I don't often think about locking doors at night. But my husband does. Unfortunately we left the sliding patio door unlocked and that is where the guy got in.
My husband's wallet is always right there by the phone with his keys, etc. It's his routine when he gets home to empty his pockets there. His wallet was cleared of cash, only $25 and no credit cards were taken. Thankfully no medications were stolen either. THAT would have been a big hassle. The police officer was very nice but he said it was pretty brazen for someone to just walk in like that. Later that day we found out that 2 other neighbors had also been robbed. The young couple next door had both their front and back door left open and their cat got out. Later they found her cowering under our deck. They were very shaken because the intruder would have walked all the way through their home.
It's not so much the loss of money, but the fact that someone violated our personal space that had us both very shook up. I hope this never happens again. :ohmy:
