Home invasion. 3am

[ZermattGT]

So, crime has come to my house.
At approximately 3 am this morning a man came into our home, started taking stuff from the basement, then opened the inner door to the first floor. My girl saw movement and screamed, Get out! I bolted up in my skivies and grabbed a bat.

He ghosted.
However, he left some of my tools on the corner of the property.
Somehow, he got away with my Craftsman chop saw.

Police arrived enmasse and collared a "vagrant" up the road a few minutes later but he had nothing from inside the house on him, and we were unable to make a positive ID. So he walked. All this despite a prior record of arrest for theft.

They printed the tools, but he had gloves.

Let this be a warning to all my friends out there. Be vigilant.
We had a bunch of workers in the house this past month. They had keys at one point, to get into the basement to do asbestos abatement during the day.

Locks will be changed first thing this morning.

This F*#k has scared my baby, and enraged me.
I am not to be triffled with, in or out my castle.

Be careful everyone. Be vigilant. This is scarier than, a car break in.
