A house on my (normally safe) street just got robbed in broad
daylight. The sad thing is, even if I'd been there and seen them doing
it, chances are I wouldn't have suspected anything, since I didn't
know the owners - or whether they were moving out or selling
anything!

Please consider telling all your neighbors to call the police if they
ever see anything like that at your house, unless you TOLD them all in
advance exactly WHEN the movers would be there. Of course, they're
more likely to say yes and mean it if you promise to do the same for
them.

Lenona.

That might work in "some" neighborhoods, but in others these same
neighbors might be the ones doing the break in.

   I'm inclined to agree. Burglars usually steal what is easy. Often
it's neighbors kids and they know the neighborhood and it's occupants
habits well.

   You'd be surprised at how much goes on that no one ever sees.

Yep.  It is kind of like announcing, "I don't have a burglar
alarm, but I DO have stuff worth stealing."

Yup.  Somebody wants to burglarize my house?  Let'em come.  That's why
I pay all that money to my insurance company every year.  And if I'm
home when they come in, or I get home while they're still there, we're
gonna be all over the news for a couple of days.

I own very "things" that have such sentimental value they can't be
replaced.  Those few items fit in my safe deposit box, which is where
they are, along with all of my family's important papers (social
security cards, birth and death certificates, military records,
insurance policies, household inventory, etc, et al).  Family photos
and historical documents have been scanned and are stored with an
online storage service, as well as on discs in the aforementioned safe
deposit box. Wouldn't want to lose the originals, but if I do at least
I have the copies.

Truth is, I've got a few things at home that I wish someone would
steal.  I'd rather have the money.  Any takers?
