Personally, I had my apartment broken into while I was in it so I take in home security very seriously. The person tried to open a window while my roomate was working on a paper late. We were both awake - thankfully so because she was able to chase him out the window and I called 911.

He could have had a weapon, he could have timed it better, he could have brought someone with him - and I wouldn’t be here writing this comment. You just never know…

I’m sorry to hear this.

It’s also hard for me to be scared of leaving the front door open.

And saddest thing is people lose community in so many ways because we’re afraid and many have valid reasons but also, the media exaggerates the story and majority of people are paranoid.

It’s a well known fact that the biggest harm come from people we know very well,our family, relatives. Not an outsider.

Thanks for the advice Jessica.
