Im not one to complain, or bitch and moan.... But im at a loss here as to what to feel, say or do....
So this morning my house got broken into, in broad daylight....... While my teenage daughter was home. She was in her room and came out to find out what all the noise was and there were 2 colored kids in the house. She ran back to her room, locked the door and hit the panic button on the alarm. In that time before the cops arrived they sped away in a lifted black 4X4. By the graces of the Lord above, nuthing was missing at all, but they had sure made a mess. The cops have come and gone, collecting there prints and taking there report. Everybody is safe and the cops have it under control i suppose.
But i am shocked. Broad daylight? With somebody home? I mean, even if they had been checking the house out they would have known somebody is always here. The balls!
So this is where i feel all messed up... I have an alarm, fantastic unit that does exactly what i want. I have a firearm. Several infact, and both me and my wife have concealed permits. I have 1 large and 2 small dogs. Mean. Very. I have excellent neighbors, who had actually called the cops as well when they noticed one of my small dogs had gone to there house and started barking crazy. It was the neighbors who had seen the black truck and confirmed that it was them with there hasty speed away.
I have what a person is supposed too.... What do i do now? I mean im almost in tears at the thought that if they had gone in the shop, she would have never heard anything and i might have returned home to an empty garage. So frankly, im scared. Stupid people... And crooks none the less scare the piss out of me.
Is it okay to feel like this? What more could i have done? Is a 10 foot electric fence with guard towers and a roaming patrol the only thing that can truly protect me and mine?
Freaking nutz what this world has come down to. Im upset. Im dissapointed. I feel like i need an hour in church.
Anyways..... I guess i just needed to vent... Sorry if this is lame-o and not buick stuffs, but i mean it when i say this is like a second home!
Thanks guys
