  • Morning. DH is not oot, and he'll likely be working on a car tonight and tomorrow, so I won't see him all that much. Hopefully he'll still come to bed at a decent hour.

     

  • Good morning! I can't believe it's only Tuesday...
  • Good morning. I'm super tired since I had an exciting evening last night. I had to call the cops because two men were prowling outside my house last night, knocking on my door and rapping on my windows. The PD showed up very quickly and thoroughly searched the area, but they were gone by then. Of course I was a wreck. Late as it was, BF got up immediately and came right over to stay with me, even though I didn't ask him to (I felt bad). I don't think I could have slept if he hadn't.
  • morning. busy day!

    I'm sure they must have, because I could see them through the windows on my front door. It was VERY scary, I was totally freaked out.

    Holy smokes! I'm glad that your BF and the cops came. I'd totally look into a gun. If you want some suggestions I have a few opinions on them. Wink

    I pitty the fool who decides to come a tapping on my door and windows late at night.

    Ha, BF already has a plan in place. He wants me to get a shotgun, but is picking up some baseball bats tonight since I dont have any defensive weapons in the house.

    A shotgun was going to be my first suggestion... it has a very distinct sound! You've got a good man there! He's all about protecting his woman! Wink
  • P & R, That is scary! So glad you have a wonderful BF :)

    DH starts morning watch soon (11pm - 7am) so I am getting a phone line today (my BB tends to freeze alot and I don't want to take a chance if I need it) and we are getting an alarm next weekend. We chose Alarm Force, it's free install and $25 per month. The cheaper package requires the phone line but if the line is cut they have a solar battery and a two way voice system activator thing. I've of course have guns in the house but don't know how to use them. Luckily my husband is just a 911 call away.

  • P&R: that is SO scary!  In February (before I was married) I lived in an apartment above my parent's house.  Everyone was out of town, and I worked late (until 9pm) in a salon.  When I got home, I disarmed the alarm and then immediately re-set it (I basically NEVER do that...).  I wasn't home 15 minutes before the alarm went off.  The alarm company called and said that the back door was open so they & I both called the police.  It took them over 15 minutes to get to my house despite their unknowing if someone was still in the house with me.  Someone apparently followed me home from work who knew I'd be home alone.  The alarm, thankfully, scared them away though.  First order of business DH had in place when we moved in together?  Carry & Conceal license!  BE SAFE :)
  • P&R: Did you yell at them? Do you think they were looking for a house to rob or just scare you? I would imagine if they were trying to rob you, that they would have left when they noticed you. I am so sorry to hear about that!

    hah, yeaaaaaaaaaah. At least get some Protected By ____ stickers for your windows.

    you should also be able to find one of these extendable batons (like the Secret Service uses) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASP,_Inc.

    Do you know who your cops were that showed up? (I wanna know if it was DHs friends)

  • I've got the creeps just listening to those stories! DH works for ADT and gets so many calls the day AFTER someone is broken in to. Prevention is a must for security, and yeah, when that fails...self defense :)

    No, when I saw them I ran in the my bedroom and locked the door. Sad to say, I still questioned if I was overreacting, maybe they were neighbors with a legitimate question? I stood there hesitating, until I heard them walk by my bedroom windows whispering, and they started tapping on my windows. I nearly had a heart attack at that point and went ahead and called 911.

    Oh, this for sure. While at his parents this past weekend, their beagle decided he wanted to threaten me, and he snarled at me in a really scary way (I was opening the door for him to go out, I had my hand on his collar and I gently patted him on the butt a couple times to get him to go out). The dog turned on me and snarled pretty viciously. BF jumped up and ran to the kitchen to make sure I was okay, and said, totally seriously "If he had bitten you I would have killed him. End of story." The dog is really mean and will try to bite anyone, and has bitten BF before (to the point of drawing blood), for absolutely no reason. He said again later "that dog had no idea how close he came to meeting his maker. If he had hurt you it would have been over for him." Yikes! Tongue Tied

    Unfortunately, no, I didn't get their names, but they were very nice, and told me they will be patrolling my area for the rest of the night, and not to hesitate to call if I hear anything.

    OMFreakinGawd. I would have died.

  • P & R -

    I forgot to mention, the alarm system we are getting has a "panic" mode button. So if someone knocks on your door and you are scared to open it. You push the button and it automatically turns on an intercom system to where the alarm people can hear what is going on and call the police for you if you need it.
