Okay the door is repaired and there are now two deadbolted doors between outside and the house level.

Zach came home from school having processed things a bit to tell me it was like living an R rated movie. Although until reminded I actually did not remember waking up and saying,"Who the F*** are you ? Get the Hell out of my house." And Dad getting out of bed to get cash in a rather undressed state .... well he got all kinds of rude behavior in one major episode. And the theif actually talked calmly and called him young man.... Oh well I guess we'll just be the talk of middle school for a while.....

I'm really glad the 2 older boys slept through the whole thing. They're at the young and invincible stage cool and calm would not have been the style.

Thanks guys for all the care. When the world slips off kilter it's nice to have a bit of balast.
