Kinda freaky...

Over the past couple of weeks there has been an increasing amount of break-in's that are happening during the day. The people have been targeting the houses in the historical district, thats us. They come in through the back alley's, walk around and check all of the doors, find one that is unlocked and just walk in. And the really creepy thing is that they don't care if your home. A couple of people have been home when the people walked in. Now, the neighborhood that I live in is a really good safe place. The homes are gorgous and I love living downtown. But because of that it brings in some really special people.

Yesterday, as I was picking Reese and Ash up from the neighbors house across the street, I noticed a red Dodge Shadow parking a couple of houses down, didn't really think much of it and went home. A little while later while I was in the kitchen, Ted started going nuts, and not his usual nuts either. He was out to kill!! Then I hear someone scream something and these guys start booking it down our driveway and the Red Dodge Shadow pulls up and they jump in. Isn't that weird? And I also heard that early Saturday morning some one was walking up and down the streets with a camera, taking pictures of the houses. It wasn't someone from the Historical Society either because the send letters around when they are doing it.

I just hope that we don't have to go through what some of my neighbors have. What really scares me is that I'm home all day by myself with my kids. What am I going to do if they break in? With my luck they'll break in while I'm having a bad day and I'll end up beating them with a rolling pin...

One thing that is one myside, is that my house looks like crap on the outside. And if someone does break in what are they going to take? We don't have nice thing! If they want to take the TV, go right ahead...that thing weighs at least 350 lbs.

I think you should plan ahead. Choose a few carefully selected, expensive items that are run down and covered by your homeowners insurance. Leave one door unlocked with a sign that says "Thieves, enter here." Then inside the door, have your selected items with a sign "Take these! Quick!" And then file your claim! Brilliant!

I guess now, Ted doesn't seem so bad, huh? LOL!
