It just hasn't been our year! Tonight, someone attempted to break into our house in Las Vegas. There have been several break-ins in the area the last few weeks, and they believe that there are 2 black kids wearing backpacks that have been going around doing the damage. Our friends the Linville's - they broke into their home while they weren't home, and cleaned them completely out!
Bryce noticed that there was broken wood near the locks on the front door. Something was put by the locks and they tried to wedge it open. I think that they were looking to try to wedge the double doors open.
They damaged the lock where the handle is...
And broke the wood piece that covers the middle seam of the doors. We are lucky that most of our front doors are metal! (I'm sure they didn't' know this.)
Also, Bart had really secured our doors sometime ago by screwing in some "L" brackets to the door and the floor, just in case someone tried to do this! You can tell that they were really trying their hardest to get in!
I am so very grateful that they weren't able to get in. If they really wanted to, they could have broken the window, but anyway, I am just grateful that they didn't get in, and that Bryce was safe! We also have an alarm on the house - but who knows in this day and age.
Bryce called the Police, and they came out, took pictures, and made a report, but didn't take any fingerprints.
So, our thoughts are this...
1. Since they weren't able to get in, will they just forget it, and move on to another home -OR-
2. Since the placed was locked down really well, do they think that there is something really valuable in here?
