Did this really happen or is it just an urban legend?

I was once told "when only one of you is alive, there is only one version of the story" Though with all of the forensics, obviously you should be telling the truth.... lol

earlier this year, we actually had someone try to get through the doggie door. I was home alone, sleeping. Just me and the dogs. I woke up at 2 dogs flying out of the bedroom at 90MPH. They didn't start barking, though, until they were in the basement where the door is. By the time I got my glasses and downstairs, there wasn't a sign of anyone.

The officer who showed up later (a friend of DH's) said "what kind of a dumb*** would try to sneak through your door?"

Idiot broke the frame of my doggie door. Plus left the gate open. Thankfully the dogs have a good recall. And this was in broad daylight. My neighbors weren't home either and she NEVER leaves the house. So they were definitely keeping an eye on the place. I guess that makes them an even bigger idiot...

The intruder's family can still sue you for wrongful death and/or whatever else, so like most things on this topic, the whole "if they're dead you can't be sued" thing is also wrong.

I'll third it, but I live in the "roll over and take it" country.
