[QUOTE="PistolPackin'Honey, post: 1806709"] 2 years ago, my home was burglarized 4 times in 3 months. The thieves would wait till my husband and I would go to work, and then they'd break in. Their "job" was to sit on their butts and learn our schedule. And when they knew we were going to be at work, they'd break in. Because of the mentality of these people, we have to live like we are basically in prison. We now have an alarm system with three outdoor sirens, we've replaced our doors with security doors, and we purchased a safe to put our valuables in. Every time I leave the house, I have to make sure all of our smaller electronic items are put in the safe. I can't leave anything out, because of the fear of coming home and finding it gone. It's been a while now, and I feel more confident in our ability to stay safe now. But I will never forget how it felt to pull in the driveway and see the front door open. In fact, it's the first thing that crosses my mind EVERY TIME I come home now. Is the front door closed? When my cell phone rings, and it's a number I don't recognize, could it be the alarm company? The mentality of these people really floors me. They don't want to get a JOB. Why get a job, when Uncle Sam will take care of you? Anything you get from the government was taken from someone else. Know this. Obama isn't pulling the money out of his pockets to give you. It's coming out of the working folks' pockets. They think : Oh, that B!tch next door just bought a new TV! That would look great in OUR crib! And we could pawn that camera and get another hit. They be rich....they can buy more.* Well, no, they can't just go BUY MORE. They worked their butts off and SAVED for months to buy that tv. Sorry about the rant there. I'll come off of my soapbox now. :) [/QUOTE]
