House was broke into today.

Was out of the house today. When i got home everybody was elsewhere. I went to open the front door and it had the chain on it. I knew something was wrong. Right then i should have went to the back yard. I had a pair of limb loppers on the porch and after a few minutes i was able to cut the chain to get in. Every light in the house was on and every door was open. All the drawers in the house were also open. A quick check to make sure there was nobody still in the house. Second check was the gun room. No gun safes pryed open or missing hidden guns. To tools missing from garage, but the door was kicked in. Nothing missing from shop either. A couple dollars change was gone. My wifes PS3 was gone. I have all my meds still. They were moved, not taken. I have fixed the chain on the front door and a temp fix on the garage door till tomorrow. Will be adding a alarm to the garage and shop. The thief left thru the back door and kicked a whole in my wooden fence to get away. Cop came and took a report. Told me unless there is a dead body, they don't do finger prints. I think it was some teenagers, but who knows. I did see a couple of those church people who ride bicycles around my house when i came home. We were lucky this time. I will be packing all the time.

Very Lucky.

If you can get some empty game system boxes, put them out on the next garbage day next to the can, maybe even a day before.
It's legal to hunt over bait, just don't trip up and answer the phone or the doorbell.
Hopefully they never come back.....
If someone catches one of these punks breaking in they ought to just rob them and then beat them within an inch of their life. If they hurt someone during the break in or do any damage they need to be tied up in the basement for a few days and beat the hell out of'em a few times a day. Then after about a week or so pour them a pair of concrete cowboy boots and take them on a fishing trip.
Maybe lucky the house was unoccupied, for everyone's sake.
Also fortunate the losses were minimal.
They were there when you got home, seems to me.
They chained the front door to slow you down, then made a hasty retreat.
While going the alarm route look in to cameras that link up to your cell phone. If you got old and janky PC rebuild it to monitor the cameras. Then hide the PC in a safe spot.
Get a mean dog. Put up signs you have a mean dog. They won't be back.
But on the other hand, if they DO come back and get attacked by the dog, you'll get sued half way to hell because you publicly admitted knowing you had a mean dog. Not right, but it happens.[:(]

And be prepared to have your H/O insurance cancelled,,,,,,,,
Stretch ... They have Insurance for Dogs on the policy.
Don't do fingerprints???? If there is a chance we can get prints, we try. Sounds like someone was being lazy.
Many, many burglaries are solved by fingerprints. When I was working they computerized the fingerprint data. A Department that doesn't collect evidence is short changing you. One of the big differences between San Diego Police and San Diego Sheriff was we lifted any fingerprint possible. The Sheriff had a much higher closer rate than the PD just for that reason.
By the way it is much cheaper in the long run to solve those burglaries than to keep taking reports that go nowhere.

You must have missed the list of companies that insure on that link.
No, no, I didn't miss companies that insure dogs under liability,,,,,,,,,remember, we're talking about a known 'mean dog' ,,,,,,,,your words not mine.
In response to my prior question,,,,,,,,give me the name of your insurance company(not your agent or personal info) and I'll contact underwriting for a definitive written answer. Fair enough ?????
Why would I do that? I had a mean dog till he died. Not one problem with the insurance. They knew he had bit. Period. Not one problem.
Kill one for me.

[:D][:0],,,,,,,,,C&P,,,,,,
In 2002, dog-bite claims cost insurers almost $350 million, and accounted for a full fourth (1/4) of all liability claims.
Maybe so but they saved them Billions by being a deterrent to crooks and wannabe crooks, the amount of unknown (un-measureable) savings I would think would out-weigh their payout by a long shot, of course the insurance companies wouldn't admit that fact, it would hurt their ability to raise premiums [;)]

Sounds like time for a game cam.
I just purchased one to try out at my place. I will probably buy another of the other side if this one works out.

No reason for me to give you personal information about my homeowners. I do not allow tenants to have pets on the premises. I could make them sign a waiver and allow them to insure themselves or handle their own business. However pets do damage to property and also make me change out carpets when they leave because some new tenant would have allergies.
So, you don't want the risk of pet(s) but you think an ins. co. wants to insure the risk of a known 'mean' dog with the potential of a million dollar lawsuit,,,,,,,,,,C'mon Gary, I know you're smarter than this.
You sure about that?
i have a very close friend that trains protection dogs for law enforcement, including homeland security , he has plenty of stories about signs etc SF you have just been lucky
you have been warned [;)]
