They were not very successful. Otherwise known as "Epic Fail". I had just left to go to church, and 10 minutes later the cell phone rings. It's my friend who is backup for the ADT Security calls. (Their system worked flawlessly). She said the alarm went off, did I want to send the police? The answer should always be yes, but I figure that POS door I was trying to work on the other day blew open in the wind. Wrong. Always call the police. I drove home, I would have beat the police there anyway. Nobody was there. HOWEVER, there were some brand new tire treads going down the lawn to the back door and some fresh footprints which were not mine. Hmmmm.....Went to the back door, slowly and cautiously (with a weapon in hand) it was open. Apparently nobody there. I couldn't open it. Then I realized the "craft project" i had built not an hour before was blocking the door and that's why I and they couldn't get in. It was a large 8' x 10' wooden box to use as a tank to put a model ship in to film for a project for church. It blocked the door.
Went upstairs, cats said, hi, what was all that racket about? But were not alarmed, so I knew that I knew they had left. Police came and I filed a report. It was a real good thing the burglars didn't try it when I was home inside 'cause I would have ducked down in the rear bedroom (my last place to hide, I'm too old to outrun anybody) with the 12 gauge and then called Servicemaster to clean up the mess, I prefer things the way they worked out. I really don't have that much. You'd think a tiny house and a 16 year old car in the driveway would be a hint the rich folks don't live here, but I guess in these days, it's going to get worse and worse. If you don't have an alarm system, get one. And a 12 gauge. And always pray that God protects the burglars from us! Which is exactly what I have been doing for the last few months as I've seen this whole area deteriorate financially. It's gonna get worse, folks. There were two other burglaries in my area in the last 2 weeks, both of them were successful. At the police's request, I did call my neighbors to warn them. (I'm not moving the box, it can stay in front of that door until the 2nd coming.) Because of Obamacare, it is expected by 2015 or 2016 some of our United States will be filing for bankruptcy as no one has yet counted the cost. Healthcare for everyone is a great idea, but none of our leaders gave any thought on how to pay for it. Just wait till those government handouts end. We may be looking at the end of our civilization. I didn't think I'd live to see these dark days coming. But I guess that's what the English thought of the Romans.
