It either would happen or wouldn't. It didn't matter. I'd done nothing to get shot over and really hadn't anything worth stealing. My ex being a hoarder was kind of a deterrent too. Who wanted to wade through that mess for anything. It was living in jenga

Thank you,
SorryShaped - I've never thought about it like this before, you make an excellent point. People don't generally break into homes with the intention of killing a random person.
BUT, then look at all the completely innocent people we've lost to serial killers and random attacks in general. I know what you mean, though. More often than not, someone won't put all that time and energy onto a totally random person. I don't live in a wealthy area, either. I'm sure a burglar would rather take elsewhere to commit home invasions. I still think I'll add a security system. Just in case.
Hilarious about the jenga - sorry you put up with that
