[Dewey-Darrow] Attempted Break In

[trisha connolly]

This reminds me of a break in at my home a few years back, same situation. A window was open, a patio table was moved over so, they could cut the screen and get in.  They did while my son and I slept upstairs, and took my purse that was downstairs in the kitchen.  Thank goodness they didn't come upstairs!  I realized what had happened the next morning.  My lesson: All downstairs windows closed when no one is home, and at nighttime-
I even lock my doors when I am at home out of habit now. Some of these prowlers are pretty brave-
