[QUOTE="Star*, post: 359928, member: 4964"] jal - Well......I can tell you from being invaded so many times - that it's not really what gets taken that will bother you in the coming days. It's going to be your sense of security and the range of emotions you are going to go through are going to be VAST. May I suggest you call your doctor and just have on standby something for nerves? To help you sleep? See, it's not the items that get taken it's your sense of security. A few tips to help you - 1.) Rearrange your furniture. If they came in they know the lay out - rearranging will shake things up a little if they come back 2.) Vacuum carpets in a way that is in up and down patterns to show foot prints clearly 3.) Windex all the windows very well for fingerprints 4.) Put baby powder in front of all the windows on the floor in the inside (peace of mind again) and in front of all the doors 5.) Sweep or rake the dirt under your windows outside to show foot prints and check occasionally 6.) Put cactus or holly under those window 7.) Installing alarms - yeah well - by the time someone responds. 8. ) GET PEPPER SPRAY and learn how to use it. 9.) You can put glass bottles on the door knobs at night balanced so if someone trys the knobs the glass will fall off - (again peace of mind) and if they do fall - you know someone is jiggling door knobs. 10.) Ask the police for a patrol for a while due to PTSD 11.) Let ALL of your neighbors know. 12.) Check the trader paper - (like witz said CL) and pawn shops. If you have pictures? Take them to the pawn shops - police are really not going to do this for you - really. 13.) Install dummy cameras from Radio Shack - very cheap I hope some/any of this helps. Im really sorry for your loss.......stupid stupid people.........OH and also - Check Good wills........Salvation Armys.....they like to dump stuff there too. Another thing you can do is ask the local grocery stores if anyone has brought in jars of change or lots of change to exchange recently or on the day of th erobbery for cash.....it's easy to exchange like that.
