Yikeees! That sounds terrible! I am glad you are both okay though. We had to up the security around our place quite a bit. They broke in here as well, but nobody was home as it was in the morning on a Friday. Hubby and I were at work, and mom-in-law had thankfully gone shopping. We found out later it was a gang that had hit several houses in the area, and if they found people at home, would rough them up and tie them up while they went about their looting. Divine intervention. Though I am still annoyed about the fact that they stole not only my PC and camera but found my external hardrive as well. I lost all my photos. 😭
There was also the incident where they tried to hijack my mom-in-law at gunpoint in the driveway. The didn't bargain on my husband being home. When they saw him they were spooked and fled. Since then we have upgraded our security quite a bit. Full alarm system, panic buttons, armed response, electric fence, security cameras.
At least I feel justified having my weapon stashes around the home though. 😅 But my husband is probably my biggest and most dangerous weapon. Woe to the poor sod who threatens his wife. He gets upset enough if someone is rude or disrespectful to me. 🤣
Still, it's terrible that you have to live on high alert even in your own home.
I have often joked though, that if a zombie apocalypse broke out in SA, many homes would essentially be miniature fortresses.
Wow! That was Divine intervention indeed with all of you being away from home during that break-in! Just so sad and frustrating about the damage and the loss of your PC, camera, and hard drive, losing all your photos.
That is what frustrates the living daylight out of me...You work for what you have, you mind your own business...yet these...imbeciles...(I can't really find a word to describe these...things), but they just come into your life and think they can help themselves to your stuff...
And as if that's not enough, they would not only harm you but even kill you without any reason, except for the fact that you have what they want...
I am so grateful to hear your husband was at home when they tried to hijack your mom-in-law...and that the cowardly trash that they are got spooked and fled!
I shouldn't be talking about this...I get so angry and worked up about it... My wife keeps telling me I should calm down. So, sorry about all the ranting...but wow, sometimes it just comes out...
That's a good thing that you have upgraded your security!
And weapon stashes around the house...good for you! We have the same here! And good for your husband for protecting you in the way that he does. That's awesome and that's how I believe a real man should be!!
I agree with you 110%!!
I love this🤣🤣🤣!!! Well said, @pixelhuntersam👍!
