Yep...I had two homes.
One was my summer camp that I live in now.
Before we moved into it, we came up for the weekend and someone had kicked the door in and tried to burn the house with an oil lamp. The back bedroom was toasted and luckily the fire put itself out. They also tried to knock an addition to the home off by hitting the 6x6 supports, but they failed. A TV and some other things were stolen. We kind of knew who did it, but because we didn't see them, the cops said they couldn't do anything. I was really upset about that. We put up game cameras afterwards.
Yeah. There was a window in the bathroom, less than twelve inches wide and above head high on the wall. I left it open as a cat door and some creep actually climbed up there and crawled through that window. He stole a power screwdriver and a straw hat.
I had a few things disappear once. They were inconsequential things for which one would hardly burgle a home. It's been a mystery since 1972.
I had just bought a house in Pacifica Ca
overlooking ocean.
Was remodeling and locked all tools in garage
for weekend.
Came back on monday and everything was gone
Police just shrugged it off. EVERYTHING was gone.
then the recession hit
bankruptcy, lost the house
lost new truck....
...it kinda all hit at once...
oh well
life goes on...
That might just made me very determined to find the felons.
I too can barely believe people just 'enter' into houses and steal items. It's like if you can do that, can't you use your brain for something else?
Was it the paper towels and cups?
Why would they try to burn the house? Were they your mortal enemies?
It was books of trading stamps that I kept in a kitchen drawer and a package of men's undershirts I had bought and laid on top of the laundry hamper. I suppose if someone broke in and thought those two items to be the most valuable of our possessions, we really were poor.............which we were.......this happened during the college years.
