We were broken into around 3 years ago. It is a horrible feeling. They took my wedding rings, which belonged to my MIL. I was more upset about those than anything else. They tried to steal my hubbys truck too, but instead destroyed the steering colum and the insurance company totaled the truck. There were other little things they took but I think they did not get all they wanted because my husband came home while they were there.
They had super glued the locks on the doors and unplugged the garage door. We had the house locked, they were able to use a crow bar and move the solid part of the sliding glass door to break in.
We have since had an alarm system installed and we do not leave the doggie door open anymore either. Its a very sick feeling to think you cannot even have a home, and feel safe to leave it.
