[QUOTE="eby42, post: 1404252, member: 8263"] I posted here a while back after being taken to the cleaners. What got me was failing to re-check windows I never use after the bad hail storm last year. I didn't think we had any breaks, but the glass guy working for the property company found a cracked window and replaced the glass without locking the window back up. I didn't even figure any of this out until I had to try and figure out how they got us. Another thing: We were in the middle of moving, and they caught us staying at the new house the first night. Meaning...we were being watched. I'm almost positive it was my neighbors. My failure to notice this cost me about $3k in firearms and other property, much of which had irreplaceable sentimental value because it was inherited from my father (and that he inherited from his...) when he died unexpectedly last year. The entire situation has made me pretty bitter and paranoid, too...there's a cost beyond lost property to having your home violated like that. You really can get caught with your pants around your ankles. Take it from somebody who walks funny now. [/QUOTE]
