People down here are crazy about home security. There have been a string of break in's all through the back door. Yeah it is scary but as long as we are safe insurance can cover whatever is taken.
The one last night the homeowner came home and found the intruders. They had taken his gun which was in a drawer in his room and struck him on the head with it. It discharged into the ceiling so they dropped it and ran.
Personally we always keep the doors and windows locked. We also have a secure system that we turn on every time we leave.
Should I be more paranoid?
I was going to make a comment about the second paragraph but I think I'll let it lie. Don't want us to end up underground...
