Default Help we where... robbed.... Now what?!?!

I came home yesterday after picking my kids up from school to find my front door open. After going in side the front door I seen my TV ripped from the entertainment center. Couch cushions on the floor..... I stood there ..... The first thing was why would my hubby move the TV like that?!?! Then the kids came running down yelling "Someone trashed everyones rooms!!!" What?!?! Then it hit me like a freight train the wind just knoked out of me. Oh noooooo we have been robbed!!!

I took the kids to my immediately my neighbors across the street. Then called my husband and checked the dogs. Circe and Otto where in there crates in their "Dog Room" they where ok. Their room is the front bedroom of the house. I check the house and know one was there.... I called the police and they came..... (1 hr after I called )I filled out a report with my husband. I took pics and listed all thing that where missing from our home. The ran sacked the whole house every door, every drawer was opened and dummped. Our room the kids rooms...

Thank God all the items they took can be replaced. DH replaced all the locks on the doors. We have home owners insurance I will be calling them this AM. I didn't sleep at all last night either did DH.... We all feel so violated. I need an alarm system! Any suggestions??? I just want to cry.... I'm in shock.

Oh my God Danielle I am so sorry to hear that. So glad that all they got was just stuff and they didn't hurt the dogs. I don't know anything about alarm systems, just wanted to share my sympathy.

Danielle!! I feel so awful for you and your family. I was telling DH what happened when I got home. Please re-consider moving back to FM, soon!!

We have an alarm system, one of the big ones- can't remember the name of it.

I am glad everybody is okay, yes everything that was stolen is replaceable, thank goodness for insurance.

I am so sorry that this happened to you.

Thank goodness that you and your family were not home when this happened, things could have been alot worse and thank goodness your dogs were safe and unharmed.

I would feel violated too, to be honest I probably wouldn't be able to live in that house anymore just because I am paranoid.

Oh my gosh Danielle, how scary and awful! I'm glad everyone is ok!

I use to have ADT, thankfully in 10 years never had a issue. I dropped it 2 yrs ago since I telecommute and have 5 gsd's.

I dated a cop at one time and was told it doesn't matter how nice of a neighborhood you live in, everyone should have one.

Thieves burn me up, I don't get the mentality of just taking what you want from others. You might want to invest in some security cameras as well...outdoor and indoor. I recall a story on the news a couple of years ago where someone had cameras inside or maybe it was a webcam...and they watched the robbers enter their home.

Very sorry to hear this. Do you have to crate the dogs when you aren't home? Many people won't dare to enter a home when a GSD is staring at them out of the front window. (Please crate users don't jump on my back for suggesting this-just asking if it is possible because it would be a strong deterrent.)
