Yesterday my family and I went to a 4th pool party. My dad and mom were there too and this morning I got a call from dad, and for the fourth time in three years he was broken into while we were at the pool party yesterday. They broke in his work van and got his hand tool bag with about 1k worth of tools in it, but left $1500 more worth in a sliding drawer tool box
They also got a John Deere push mower that pulls itself, and a T-18 Shindaiwa weedeater that was 26 years old. It is really a shame that you cant have anything without tying it down but it's just the way it is these days. They didn't get any of his chainsaws simply cause they were in the basement behind a steel door with a steel door frame and deadbolt. The police got some fingerprints off the back door of his van so hopefully they will get an ID, but I doubt they will. Some people don't believe me when I say I would kill someone in my house(ie. thief), but I would 100% shoot to kill if someone was in my house uninvited. Dad only lives about a mile and a half away from me.
