I live in a pretty nice suburban neighborhood. The kind where kids play outside, no one locks their doors, etc.
Well last night, at least 10 houses were robbed, including mine. Luckily, my dad had his car unlocked, so they stuck to just that, and took his glasses and Ipod, and moved on.
But they smashed some house windows, and smashed several windshields of the few cars that were locked to get to whatever was inside.
And what's weirder, it's a neighborhood that is well-known for being the home to several very large dogs. On one end is a guy who breeds Dobermans, and he keeps them outside (they have their own little heated/air conditioned shed/house), and they bark if anyone so much as walks by. There's also some Akitas, Rottweilers, several Pitbulls. And then there's lots of large breeds, like mine (a golden retriever) who may not be intimidating looking, but have a loud bark.
Not a single one of them made a noise.
It just has me rattled. This has always been a very safe place, and I go for long walks every night. It's creepy!
