I am really frightened now that they might come back. I live in a 2 story townhouse in a large complex. It's not in the ghetto. I'm in white ass suburbia. The county sheriff deputy that showed up to investigate told me that he's been working this end of the county for 15 years and he has never been called to my townhouse complex for even a petty crime or even a noise complaint. In fact there's a city cop that lives in the building next to mine and he parks his cop car in front of the place at night.
Nothing was taken from upstairs. My AC was broken so I was sleeping bare ass naked with no blankets and the bedroom door wide open. Being naked, they obviously would see that I was unarmed. There are 2 bedrooms on the second floor. One is my office and den, the other being the bedroom. I'm afraid that they may have gone upstairs and saw what I have in my bedroom and office. I have a collection of sports memorbilia that's worth about $15,000. These are small expensive items that can't be traced. A few examples of the things I have on display are a Mickey Mantle autographed baseball that's certified authentic by Upper Deck. Retail on that will run $500-$700 and that can be carried out in a pocket. Then I have a fancy display case of some baseball cards hanging on the wall. Even someone with no knowledge of baseball cards would look at the fancy case and know that they are likely worth some $$$. That case only has 18 cards in it but the combined retail value is over $6,000. There's a 1933 Babe Ruth card in outstanding condition that would fetch $3,000-$4000 at an auction.
I think I'm going to get a Brinks or ADT system if the landlord will allow it. I'm also going to get a gun too. I almost feel like I've been raped. It's such a creepy violation of my personal safety. When I go to bed I always leave the lights on downstairs. They popped out a window to enter but they had no way of knowing if someone was awake until they actually entered. That makes me think they were armed. That's just way too bold to do without a weapon. Last night I slept with my bedroom door locked and a Louisville Slugger wood bat by my bed. I play baseball so I can swing a bat pretty hard. This blows. I don't even know how long it's going to take to get my TV replaced. I also feel like I let the family down by losing the video of my sister's baby. The poor little baby almost died at 7 days old and he spent 6 weeks in the hospital. Now he's all healthy and we had some good video of him acting happy and cute and it's gone.
