House Broken Into, Stuff Stolen

Posted on by

Yesterday afternoon between about 12pm and 2pm someone broke into our house. Witnesses saw a male and female on our property with a dark (possibly red) vehicle. Looks like they entered the back yard from the driveway through the side fence,
made their way to the back porch, and then kicked in the back door.

They snatched about $2,500 worth of things, mainly games for the Nintendo Wii, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 2. They also took off with a couple of controllers, my Nintendo Wii, some DVDs, and the media trays that the games were sitting in. Thankfully they didn’t take anything else, despite the number of things in the general area that they were in.

They also didn’t harm our dog, which is pinned in the area where the back door is. I don’t know what I would have done had he been hurt.

Police believe that it was kids/teens that live in the area or were sitting close by watching the house, as they broke in when I left for the grocery store.

Christmas Has Begun

Posted on by

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and not just because we got a little bit of snow yesterday. Actually, what snow we did get yesterday didn’t amount to anything, but it was nice to see the little flakes. Nope, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here because yesterday we started our whole Christmas holiday with the in-laws.

Yup, we went over there, and opened gifts. The wife and I pretty well already knew what we were getting from her parents, even though this is the first year that she hasn’t been able to peek. lol Like most people with a new house, we got house stuff. Towels, sheets, pillows for the couch, curtains, a new front door, tile for the entry way, and even hard wood flooring for the living room and hallway. I must say, I’m more excited about the last three items than anything else.

Now, come the new year I get to move all of our furniture out of the living room so the hired hand can come in and lay the new floor. I’m not so excited about that, especially since our (my!) old 36″ TV weighs a good 500 lbs. Oh well, at least I’ll have a new floor instead of this nasty carpet that was left by the previous owners.

Now it’s time to go surprise the wife and let her open her gifts from me. She thinks I’m going to make her wait until after Christmas. Tehehehe.
