that some fuckin teenagers tried to break into my house yesterday morning after I left for work and they scared em off. I wanted to call into work today and sit at home with my baseball bat and crack some teenage skull... I swear if I ever catch those bastards, just one of em, they won't be walking for months...

Good neighbours. We always tell our neighbours to watch our house whenever we're gone. Best way to do it.

take pix of the bashing!

enjine, I'll make animated gifs out of the beatings... and post em; that's a promise.
Jaline, no joke. Those neighbors have been nice since day 1 that we moved into the neighborhood.

damn point5.
Kinda restores my faith in humanity and a good neighboorhood like it used to be. Where you watched each others backs and homes.
Reminds me, I went back home on Sunday and there is a new kid living next door to my mom and dad. I think the guy is like 22 or something. Well I guess he's been out of town for work for almost two weeks so my dad and I without thinking twice about it mowed his lawn for him. It was half being nice, half he was sick of looking at that overgrown shit. haha. A guy across the street saw us mowning and brought over his lawnmower and helped.
It was nice to see that. That sort of thing I don't think would happen where I live.
I really hope you catch the bastards Greg and take a ball peen hammer to their toes.

This old man who lives a few houses away from us mows peoples' lawns and feeds the deer in our forest (which is behind our houses) every morning, no joke.
Living in the suburbs isn't as it used to be, but it's not that bad either.

I gotta give it up to the people across the street. My son plays with their son on occassion, so we get along pretty well. My biggest concern is someone coming to the house when my wife and kids are there and I'm not. I'm actually considering getting an alarm system now; something I balked at in the past. DVDs, CDs, my computer, are all replaceable, but the idea of someone coming into my home without permission really strikes a nerve. I've read other people's posts on here about getting robbed, and I was always so angry after reading those posts. Now I'm even angrier than that, and I just barely almost got robbed.

Get an alarm system. Wouldn't hurt, necessarily.

You don't need an alarm, just get a bunch of security stickers and put them in every window. Teenage punks are stupid and it will scare them off. They will move on to an easier target. Trust me.
My car got broken into back in 2001. The next day I put a fake LED scanner on the dash. No break-ins for the next 5 years.
Flash forward to 4 months ago...Getting into the car in a hurry i accidently snap the cord connecting the LED to the fuse box...My car gets broken into a week later. They steal my stereo, 2 skateboards plus pads and tools, my ipod fm transmitter, $40 "emergency cash" I kept in the glove box (which is just stupid i know), and what really pissed be off was they took an old independent beanie i was very fond of.
I got a new car now and put a real alarm in it because i don't want to take any chances anymore.

getting robbed is a shitty feeling.
im just starting to get over my last robbing...
if you think its going to eat away at you, get an alarm system. Here, its like 30$ a month. Or put bars on your basement wiindows.
its not worth it, if youre pacing around your halls with a bat.
thats not what home is supposed to be like...

Naw, I hear you guys. Last thing I want to be doing is sitting up "stalking" my own house. I do have a bit of a violent streak when I feel people violating my family's domain, so I really need to just deter the whole situation. I'm going to get an alarm installed this next week, I'm pretty sure about this. Problem is, the whole time I'm sitting here at work, I'm wondering if those punks came back by my house again this morning.

Aren't you a big guy? I think one look at you and they'd be off running...
- Point50
HAHA, yeah, that's what my wife said, but if I'm not there, intimidation isn't a factor
- nocomply0
If it gives you a piece of mind its worth it Point5. That's why I cracked and bought an alarm for my new ride.
Crime is shitty and its been pissing me off a lot lately. We've had 4 car break-ins on my end of the street street in the last 3-4 months. And I supposedly live in a good neighborhood!

You could get a bad ass dog like a German Shepherd. They are a great combination of good with kids/protective of the family and intimidating. They will also help you sense when there is danger long before you could detect it. Just a thought. I could be extra protection for when you aren't there.

(May 19 06, 09:39)Good idea, but an alarm would need attention.

I don't think I have time for a dog seed. I feel like I'm spread thin already with two kids, a fulltime, freelance and my dedication to the gym

hey, I have an idea, set Booby Traps.
Make yourself a giant human Mouse Trap like mechanism and glue two giants rubber boobs to the hammer, except put giant spikes inside the boobs so they stick out pointy like.
