Went out to the garage this morning with my hubby to help him get ready for a short trip. When we noticed that our yard had been trashed, fence tagged with spray paint and side garage door broken into. With things tossed about in the garage and my hubby's M/C messed up...now tell me What are we suppossed to do? Get attack dogs, electric fences and closed curcit camera's...Then even after putting in a report with the local police we were told that they have been looking for this group and if we can stop them to go for it. As if!

Room I'm so sorry this happened to you and your hubby. Maybe you should talk to some of the folks in your neighborhood and see if anyone has had this done to them. Maybe you could form a community watch type thing ask the cops to patrol the area more that certainly wouldn't hurt,also get an alarm system and it might not hurt to get a bad puppy! The main thing is to keep yourself safe be sure to keep all the doors and windows locked tight and let the neighbors know what is going on so they can be on the look out. First and foremost keep yourself safe ! I'm so very sorry this happened to you my friend I wish there was something I could do for you. Please take care and stay safe and you know where to find me if you need someone to talk to you know I'm up very very late at night so if I can keep you company that way I will be more than glad to sit up all night with you until you feel safe enough to lay down and sleep ! Take Care Love Ya !

Room, I'm so sorry that happened to you! Was his bike hurt badly? Hopefully just kid pranks, but still, it's scary. If anything is damaged you should report it to insurance right away, that's what you pay for. Try to calm down, or hopefully you have, and be thankful no one was hurt and no irreparable damage was done. I know that's little consolation when feel intruded upon, but the initial shock will fade. We had a neighbor that constantly harassed us by trashing our yard, yelled out obscenities, and even kicked and punched my car (while I was in it) and did $1,000 worth of damage. We and other neighbors used to call the police almost every day, but they said they couldn't do anything unless they "saw" it. So they said just keep calling them, which did no good. Makes your blood boil. At least they know they're out there and they'd better patrol the area, keep calling them until they do. But so sorry you went through that intrusion... I know how angry and helpless it can make you feel.

I'm sorry that happened to you as well Moo. I don't get it why do people feel they have to do things like that it is beside me. Another thing there are plenty of things that happen and the cops don't see it but can do something about it so why not be able to do something about what happened to you if they need to see something happen maybe they should patrol the area a little more. I'm sorry this happened to you as well Moo it's just not right and it angers me to see thing's like this happen to people I care about and then your told there is nothing that can be done unless they see it. I'm very sorry for you both.but at the same time angry for you as well ! I'm so sorry !

AW, don't feel sorry for me, G... room's the one who just went thru this, but I remember too well how I felt is why I brought it up. And yeah, it's a darned shame the cops can't do anything unless they "catch" them doing it. My hubby even caught some of their stunts on video, and that still wasn't enough "proof." I'm just glad it's over. But I know room is shaken right now... just inform all your neighbors, room, so you all can keep an eye out for anything suspicious, and call the cops immediately. I know you've lived in that house for a long time with no problems, so try to think of it as a fluke kind of happening, and I'm sure they won't "hit" on your house again. (Hey, G, maybe we should get the latest equipment and head on out there and get to the bottom of this... I bet we could catch those thugs in one night, eh?)

Thanks gang for all your concern and suggestions. We did go around and ask our neighbors today and found out that one had her home broken into and car stolen. Two others reported some vandalism to their yard. We have a neighborhood watch in place, but that is only as good as the folks watching... ...when we called our insurance company they said not to put claims in on the small stuff unless we wanted to see our rates go up. Talk about adding insult to injury. And believe you me...I will be using an alarm here real soon and getting a pup too.

Thanks Bill!

I hope you get all of this worked out soon Room. I'm sorry this happened to you.It's sad that you pay for insurance and when you need it they come back with a remark like that. That's almost enough to make you say what is the point of having insurance anyway. Keep yourself safe and be sure all the doors and windows are locked up tight and if you hear anything funny don't go investigate call the police first thing even if it turns out to be nothing. Stay safe and strong my friend and remember I'm here for you and that you are in my thoughts ! Take care and I'll be around Room if you need something I'm here if you want to talk !

I always say whats the point of insurance! In 2006 we owned a home in Ohio and here in Georgia. We just used the home in Ohio when we went there on vacation to visit family. When we were here in Georgia, our primary resident, our home in Ohio got broken into and they stole all of the furnishings, the stove and refridgerator, tore cabinets out, stole all the copper out of the central airconditioning, stole all of the outside equipment, and vandilized a boat we had there. The insurance co said if we did'nt live in there for the last thirty days they were'nt responsible. We had to eat the cost of 55,000 worth of stolen goods and damages. While we were there we had a storm in Ga and a branch fell off a tree and damaged our roof, guess what? They refused the damages here in Ga because they said we took too long to report it.

That's unbelieveagle candy, they are so quick to take our money tho, and raise the rates every year when propity values go up. I just can't understand why they wouldn't pay out on a claim just because you were not living in the house. But that's why I'm not rich, huh. I feel we go thru this stuff for a reason tho-don't you. It will be better when we get to Glory.
