(76,803 posts)We were victims of a burglary, too. My parents' house when I was in college.
But, absolutely nobody was home. The whole family was at a fish fry. I ran it, and my 3 cousins (who grew up in our house) worked the kitchen or waiting tables. My mom, dad, & sister came to eat. So, all of us were there.
Somebody saw that we were all gone & hit the house.
My cousin went home to change clothes (we were going to a party) and either got there just after they left, or the bolted when they saw his car lights. We think it's the latter.
Nobody was in danger, thankfully, because we weren't there.
They got my little TV, stereo, about 50 albums & my childhood coin collection. My parents' bedroom TV was left on the patio. IIRC, my room got hit the hardest.
Insurance pretty much covered everything but the coins.
Glad your family came away unscathed, except for property.
