We've been robbed before, I believe it was back in 2003. It happened in 2 stages. My dad and I (it's just us in the house) were out on vacation to New York with some family, when he got a call from the neighborhood watchdog (old lady that's always watching the block.) She told him that someone threw rocks through our two front windows and she didn't know who it was.The next day, we came back home to see the damage. It was pretty extensive, several holes through each window, but none of the windows completely shattered.
The break in happened while we were out shopping around for new windows. Everything was fine until we got home, and our backdoor, which was made out of glass, was completely busted open. The glass shards told where he went, and surprisingly, the thief only took my gamecube and two of my games (both of which were pokemon, one rented and the other I owned.... :( ).
Later, we found out that we knew the guy who broke in. Him and I were decent friends actually -- but we never went inside each other's houses, but knew where each of us lived. He had said that he got angry at my dad who was the entire neighborhood manager (he patroled the entire area, looking for violations of the home association "policies" and gave out warnings and took action when the violations were not taken care of by the owners) because my dad towed his mom's car away after being warned numerous times.
Bastard was sent to jail and totally banned form our block!
