We came home from a wonderful week in Utah to find an empty garage. Dan had parked his 4 month old truck in it before we left so it would be safe. It's not a fun feeling to sit in the driveway and watch the garage door open and slowly reveal that what you had parked in there is gone. Not only was the truck gone but so were the power tools, golf clubs, and some odds and ends. But do not fear, the cleaning supplies were still there.
Dan then went inside the house and found that our flat screen TV was gone. But they did leave the speakers, the DVD player, and the DVR plugged in so that my shows would still record while we were gone...so nice of them. They went up to the master bedroom and looked under the bed for some valuables. They emptied out some jewelry boxes and took some things. They took a few more things and left. They did, however, lock all the doors behind them. They did not, however, leave mints on our pillows.
I'm glad we have insurance and that we will be able to be replace the items that were stolen. Whoever did this obviously knew we were gone. Our neighborhood is pretty safe and even the officer was surprised this happened on our street. However, I am most grateful that we were all together and that our family is safe.
Now if only they had taken the dishwasher and microwave that had broken the week before........

Hey, I didn't know that your microwave had broken too! It's about time. That thing was OLD! Well again, sorry about the break-in. And yes all your memories are safe. At least you don't have a desk by a window that they could take, cause they totally would have stolen it...oh wait......
Wait, let me correct myself...it's not as old as the Touch-o-matic....now THAT was an old microwave!
Hey maybe you should buy a bunch of those electric fly swatters and hang them in from of your doors as a security system! That would freak them out!
I am glad that you have such a positive out look on crap like this. :) I am so sorry that your home was invaded and you valuables were taken.
wow- that's horrible! Mia is convinced that burglars are the worst possible people in the world. She would be really sad to know this happened to you. Hope it's not too much of a pain to replace everything, and we're glad you guys are all OK.
Wow-I'm sure that was quite a shock. I'm sorry you had that bad experience.
So, sorry! We had that happen a few years back in Provo. Not fun to feel you privacy invaded and you things taken. I glad that all was insured, and that you guys are save.
Who has the nerve to do something like that? Shame on them, especially someone from Utah! Hope all is restored, and yes its a blessing that your family is safe.
