    Default I was robbed!

    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!

    I'm so sorry that this happened but at least you are ok. If that many houses were broken into hopefully the cops will have some leads.

    Sorry, kandie_kitten!

    Like lyra^^, I'm glad that nobody was harmed...

    Given the combination of boldness, petty theft and vandalism, my bet would be that local kids are responsible for the mischief. In my experience with professional thieves (I've counseled a few), it's unlikely that pros would hit at least 10 houses and come away with so little while creating risky noise and needless damage. Also, IMO, if the culprits were strangers, all the local canines should have been going nuts, which ought to have alerted folks on the block...

    Totally normal. Being a victim of a crime is traumitizing. Take what time you need to come to grips with it, and if you find it continues to bother you in the future, talk to someone(s).
