We were robbed this morning.

45. Tg you are ok

How terrible and so frightening they did that when you were home 😿 Do you know how they got into the house?

We have only been robbed once in many years, when we were away on vacation, teenagers broke in but did not steal very much. We didn't have anything of great value then anyway. And still don’t but I would be worried about data and things like that etc. we don’t have an alarm system and I was thinking about that. I set up security cams 3 years ago to watch my outdoor cats.

Once my father’s car was broken into at a cineplex also years ago and I have been pickpocketed and purse snatched / robbed at least 4 x over the years. My father was robbed at a conference in Cile at a cafe, they stole his bag with money and maybe his passport too I think. Good thing your dog warned you and good thing she is ok.

I remember one of my professors telling me that her apartment had been broken into while she was asleep there. I don’t remember if her husband was home or what happened exactly. I guess they were there to burglarize but this was many years later I think and she was still visibly shaken when speaking about it. Those are the most dangerous robberies / breakins, people who will break in when someone is home. It’s not clear if they realize people are sleeping there or if they thought that no one was home.

We also had someone breaking in who was trying to get information. I did not wake up, my mother did and woke up my brother. She heard someone walking around downstairs. I’m not going to go into the details of why that person was there but the intention was not a robbery per say.

When my purse was snatched at a supermarket parking lot I chased the guy but could not catch him. My phone was in my purse and my id/ wallet etc. A restaurant let me call the police who said they would do nothing. I was worried for a while he would come to our house etc. my bf and I searched for my purse in near by garbages later. A couple witnessed where he ran towards so we hope he had maybe dumped after taking everything out. My father gave me that purse which he bought in Germany, fortunately I never carry very much of value with me. Then also there was the time when I was selling jewelry and a “customer” looking at a ring came back to look again, when I gave him the ring he ran with it.

Later I went and gave flyers to all of the local businesses in that shopping center and one of the people I spoke with at one store told me there had been a series of similar robberies which were being investigated.
