Glad he was polite and only wanted money and didn't get upset when the take was so small.

We've been broken into but not, thank God, when we were actually home -- or worse yet, asleep. I shiver just thinking about it.

Yeah, it's going to take a looooong time before you can sleep peacefully again or feel relaxed in the house.

I'm still nervous as a three tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs after having two cars shot out from under me (neither accident my fault) within two weeks of each other back in September. I feel as if everyone is aiming at my car and I'm (irrationally and for the first time) terrified of hitting a deer on the way home in the dark (despite actually hitting a deer a year ago with no damage and no mental trauma).

Geeze, really glad you're all okay, though. AND that you've added to the security of the house.

Poor Bubba! It'll be awhile before he lives this down!
