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.

Attempted Break In<br></div>
<div> </div><font style="background-color: transparent;" color="#000000" face="Arial" size="2"><br>Hello neighbors,<br><br>I wanted to let you know about
an attempted break-in early this evening at<br>our house on Dempster.
The screen on our kitchen window had been opened<br>(the window itself was
already open) and a patio table had been pulled up<br>under the window. Maybe
it was the dog dishes in the kitchen that scared<br>them away, but for some
reason the bad guys took off and fortunately nothing<br>was taken.<br><br>I
called the non-emergency police number to report the incident and
officers<br>were here within minutes. Not much they could do at that
point, but the<br>response was immediate and it's nice to know they're on the
job.<br><br>The officer did say that burglaries are on the rise and
recommended all the<br>obvious preventive measures. (Like not leaving
the kitchen window open, for<br>example.)<br><br>Sadly this is hardly a
newsworthy event but I thought I'd let you know as a<br>reminder to be careful
and to report any suspicious activity.<br><br>--Jonathan Nieuwsma<br><br>PS:
If there are any bad guys on the list-serve: if you do succeed in<br>breaking
in next time, could you please steal our remaining Cubs tickets?<br>They're
worth more on an insurance claim than on
resale.<br><br><br><br><br>--~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~<br>You
