I'm so sorry to hear about your situation.

Years ago, a crazy speed freak chick broke in my parents house (where I was staying for the summer). I came home from the store with my girlfriend and she said she needed to use the bathroom while I stayed outside to unload the car. Well, a few minutes later I walk in the house and look in the bedroom and see what I think is my girlfriend laying on the bed with her bikini on. Her head was covered up with a pillow. I said, "how did you get in a bikini so fast?" The pillow lifted and out popped the head of medusa. This crazy crank head was in the house wearing my girlfriends bikini! She was all messed up and made a strange hissing noise. It scared the crap out of me. I started yelling for my girlfriend, who was still in the bathroom, to get out. We both ran across the street and called the police. The speed freak got caught with all my mom's credit cards in her purse. My parents then got an alarm.

Bottom line: Get an alarm before you need it.
