Good thread...
A neighbor's house was broken into just night before last. They came in while the husband was asleep on the sofa, boldly, and stole her laptop.
I have been lax in locking my doors when I leave the house, as well as forgetting to lock up at night. I will do so from now on. I also told my next-door neighbor about this, as she said she never locks her doors.
I hate guns, and though i had one for a few years, after a breakin and attack on myself, I never learned to use it, and finally returned it to the gun dealer. At the very least, though, maybe some pepper spray or mace would be good to have onhand.
