Snark and Pie

Robbed

Someone broke into my apt yesterday afternoon while Matt and I were meeting with the priest for God's sake. Anyway, i'm okay, I wasn't there when it happened, another Hail Mary. They stole my dvd/vcr combo and must have been startled by something, so ran out of time and got the hell out of dodge. I'm so creeped out though because they went through my desk and my dresser. They didn't take any financial stuff, I mean I had bank statements out and all.

So I bought some door alarms and light timers today since I'm hardly there anymore. I've been reading some stuff online today about how a burglar usually only spends an average of 6 minutes doing the actual deed. I will also say that this was not a forced entry. My landlords left the main back door open (which is always kept locked) while they were down in the basement. For some reason I had left my own back door unlocked and that's how they got in. What also creeps me out is my landlords said they heard someone walking around in my apartment during that time and thought it was weird becuase they hadn't seen my car.

The lesson is to lock all your doors and windows and invest in a stun gun or something.
