Wow, I am going to get robbed soon!!!

I don't know why, but I have seen more suspicious activity in this year than any.

Just a little around Christmas, A man was driving around the neighborhood really slow. Then he stopped by the house adjacent to us, after a good minute, he drove off. Then a couple of days later, I was smoking on the back porch with my sis and her boyfriend. We were having a good conversation and then we saw a man in black running down the street IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. We then saw him coming back up, only this time, He walked right into my neighbor's house. I watched curiously, and saw a light come on, then off, and then another one the same. It continued, until I flat out said, let's call the cops. They came, and that is all I heard of it. Now, we aren't rolling in dough, but our neighbors are. Outside of our neighborhood is where 5 years ago, the most meth in the country was made. Nothing to bad, but that isn't all

Earlier this evening, my sister went to get ice at the gas station for me to make daiquiris. She said there was a big creepy looking rapist van at the pumps that looked about like this:

She said that the windows were completely tinted, not so much that she couldn't tell they were looking at her. Apparently he followed her everywhere she went. The dumb thing she did was drive home. She said he stopped next to the close to our house and sat for a while, then drived off.

I don't have to much to worry about because, I have a very good security system that was installed recently, and I just don't care what somebody does to me because I have learned how do disarm anybody, but I can't help but think of what might happen when I am in Kentucky later this week.

We do have some of those police officers that will drive out of a tree just to get there man. That is one thing to think about. I know my alarm is good because I opened the backdoor without turning it off and everybody woke up pissed. .


Anybody else have any suspicious activity going on in their neck of the woods?

"The other versions will disappear. Even the 35 million tapes of Star Wars out there won’t last more than 30 or 40 years. A hundred years from now, the only version of the movie that anyone will remember will be the DVD version [of the Special Edition], and you’ll be able to project it on a 20’ by 40’ screen with perfect quality. I think it’s the director’s prerogative, not the studio’s to go back and reinvent a movie." - George Lucas

 Mmmh ?... Oh, just observed that the "banksters" are robbering the world.

Anyway, just let your door open: that will make obvious you have nothing important to get robbed !

I have a kick ass security system strapped to the bottom of my bed...

Your confidence is kind of worrisome. How does anyone learn how to "disarm anybody"? No matter how good you are at anything, there is always someone out there who is better at it. Your robber could very well be bragging about having learned how not to be disarmed by anybody to some of his friends at this very moment. Besides, if he has a gun and you're standing a few feet away from him, there is no disarming him, period.

I know my alarm is good because I opened the backdoor without turning it off and everybody woke up pissed. 

Yeah, but that was a non-forced entry via a regular obvious entrance. Any alarm will handle that. If your livlihood involves breaking into places you are not suppose to be, you learn how to handle things like alarms. Most small time crooks who don't want to risk it will avoid places with security systems, but there are ways around them. For example, are all your windows hooked up to alarms? If not, then you have a good number of safely breachable points right there.

yeah, and if the robber is smart enough, he'll rob your place when you are not there and then he'll have the "kick ass security system"(I'm assuming this "kick ass security system" is a gun). 

prefer my security system and yes,  it is attached to all the windows that can open.   We have several windows that don't open.   A robber would have to break them in order to get into the house.  It would look suspicious to our neighbors and would probably wake us up.  If it didn't,  it would wake up our dog and she would bark(scream would be a better description).  When she barks, no one sleeps.    Of course, it looks like we won't have a dog in couple of months unfortunately.   The security system itself, when goes off, is loud enough to wake the dead.   Its sound is deafening.   Also if it goes off and no one shuts it off fast enough, the alarm company automatically dials the cops.

I just move every few days or so.  Stay one step ahead of the criminals, that's what I do.

Close! But no, it is actually a wooden baseball bat.

Wood?  Hah.  Anyone who knows anything about home security knows that in today's world, you ain't safe unless you have a metal bat.  You can hit a robber an average of 100 extra feet with one of those suckers.

that all sounds way too dangerous.

no thankyou.   Besides, every once in while, my 3 year old niece is over the house.   I wouldn't want there to be any chance of her finding and playing with a gun and hurting herself or others.

Don't get a swimming pool or a trampoline then.  They have proven to be more dangerous to kids than legal handguns.

Yeah, uh, sure. I'm gonna do with my daughter what my Dad did with me. Show me the gun, take the bullets out, let me handle it, tell me I can touch it anytime I ask him and he is there. He told me it was a tool used to protect yourself, defend your family, and even get food. It was not for play. He took me out later and let me shoot it, I was about 7 I think. I lost ALL curiosity about it and since it was no longer the "forbidden fruit", it was just another object in the house. Seriously Warb, you put too much stigma on guns. Come on down to Texas and I'll take you out shooting.

no thanks.   Its not worth traveling all that way just to shot a gun, and there is a big difference between a three year old and a seven year old.     She's barely passed toilet training,  do you really think she'd understand not to play with a gun? Really think no kid after having the lesson your father taught you has ever played with a gun and gotten hurt?  What if your daughter brings friends to the house that haven't had the same lesson you're going to give her?

a trampoline I could see being more dangerous, but a pool?   I find that a little difficult to believe.

Pfft.  I'd like to see you try to hide that in a thong.

Actually, I'd like to see your avatar try it.  You, not so much.
