All you can do is hope your home is not the next one they attempt to break into.

We dont get letters around here for that but it does happen often. Usually it is the garages that are broken into, and police often use the term "burglary" for this as well. Keep everything locked up, close the shades when you leave and be sure if you are going out of town to let your neighbor know and maybe have them collect your mail. Be safe!

I don't know for sure, but it seems we don't have many burglaries, attempted or otherwise, where I live. I really hope I haven't tempted Fate! *sigh*

I live in a very small town and crime is minimal but I lock the doors on my house when I am the only one home.

I always keep the door locked and the alarm on when we sleep and out.

@fishtiger58 Seems as though even alarms are not enough to keep them away.

It did happen to me once, although I was at work at the time. The only item taken was a laptop, but I did have to replace the front door.

@gudheart I wish that I had been at home because I would certainly never have allowed anyone onto my premises.

We have had an increase in robberies in our area. Sad that this is happening in our small town. Last night was the second time that the same gas station was robbed. This time, they caught the suspects. There was a home invasion where an elderly lady was robbed. It took a while to find the culprits who robbed her, but they finally did. It frightens me to think that it can happen to us too. It is a different world we live in. Quite frightening.

Yes, of course I am scared. We were victims of a robbery in Italy, only a couple of years after we were married.

@gudheart No, we were not hurt in that occasion, I was hurt in Miami when three guys robbed my handbag and I fall on the ground badly hitting my head.

The odds of being robbed at some point are probably fairly high. I don't get scared since we don't get a local paper we don't know about such things. But there is only so much anyone can do. If someone breaks in while we're home they will find themselves facing more than they bargained for.

We live on a circle that leads to a road close to the police station. I got scared when the neighbor's across from us got burglarized, but the police caught them leaving our street. We were in FL at the time. It is frightening.

Yes, I get very scared and become vigilant. I don't even go out after midnight in the open verandah we have. I hope they catch the culprits soon enough so you could breath easy. That is worrisome.
