Re: And the drama goes on

[Guest guest]

I am in shock, Cait!! I am so stunned it happened to you and again and the worst is they pushed you down the stairs! You could have been severely injured or worse. And I am worried about you!Where is the alarm? I know you said you were going to get an alarm. Please call them and tell them to hurry because you were robbed again and this time you were also injured. How is your body feeling? Listen you stubborn girl--please let someone stay with you until you get the alarm. Do you have a gun for protection? From memory I think Canada doesn't allow handguns. Is that right? sending you love SharonThis email is a natural hand made product.

Thought I'd better check in so Mom Sharon won't be worried. I'm here using a very old computer I pieced together. It only works for the basics. Life has been ridiculous ... my house was broken into AGAIN!

Now this is a nice area; only 80 houses with only one access. We're moderate to high income houses with teachers, hospital staff, nurses, business owners, etc. The ones with the big expensive homes moved on down the expressway so we lost the doctors, lawyers,etc. What I'm trying to say it's a good area, neighbors know and watch out for each other, and there are no riff raffy people here.

But again, sometime after 1 PM I was cleaning my bedroom and on the phone with . I heard some noises and then a big crash, stupidly told him someone was in the house and hung up. Actually he was just as stupid because he should have called 911 instead of trying to rush over here. I yelled at whoever was in my house and came hobbling down the hallway. I knew they were upstairs so that in itself was dumb. Anyway when I reached the end of the hallway, someone hig me on the head and pushed me down the friggin' stairs! Then they (I say they because I'm almost positive it was 2 guys) ran out the front door.

This time they threw a rock in the kitchen window (a triple thermoplane (sp?) and what a bloody mess! There was enough blood and glass all over the kitchen, tracked through the dining and living rooms, and the hallway and on the carpet going upstairs. That further implies it was 2 because they tracked two ways and on the main floor merely opened utility drawers in the kitchen and took two big knives. Their target was obviously upstairs.

Why me though???? This time it took the cops 6 hours to respond! I was taken to the hospital and they wouldn't let me come home for two days ... a mild concussion and the entire left side of my body is bruised and sore. wanted me to go to his house or he'd come here but I can't let myself be afraid to be alone in my own home! I'm still feeling like the whole thing was surreal.

I don't have anything worth stealing! Monday the adjuster is coming to check the countertops, tiles, hardwood, etc. for scratches, etc. cleaned up as best he could before I came home. Would you believe they say to wear gloves ... well duh, with all those glass shards I guess. And a mask which he didn't wear. That's because of the chemicals they use to get prints, etc. but they didn't tell me that last time.

Now supposedly there's a gang that have been breaking and entering our richer (well more mortgaged up to their eyeball neighbors). I assumed it was them again. But the police when they interviewed me asked all kinds of questions that kind of scared me. Do I have any enemies, do I owe anyone $, etc. etc. Considering I pay my bills on time, am limited socially by ms, I can think of no one. Well except for 'you know who' who I'm not concerned about.

Anyway, I've tons of emails but I really don't feel up to reading them right now. Oh I kept my appt with the dr and got my prozac back. Good thing I checked the rx before I left his office; he hadn't given me any repeats.

Hope everyone is okay and safe ... hugs, Cait

Alarm should be in this week. Dawn, alone with a little girl, next door, myself and 2 others have placed our orders in. And yes about no handguns. All guns must be registered, have whatever locks on them and be stored I forget where. And there's something about the storage of the bullets being nowhere close to the guns. Or so I think ... I'm not comfortable around guns and the only ones I've seen are hunting rifles. I think I'd be clumbsy enough to shoot myself by mistake anyway!

Sharon, I honestly feel like I'm running on adrenaline and this whole experience was a dream. was more a mess than I was and when he worries, he drives me crazy. I made him keep a fishing trip tomorrow. I'll have the next door neighbor painting the stucco on the sides and back of the house anyway.

But what I feel like doing is hanging a poster on the windows ... "idiots, instead of breaking windows or doors, just pry open the basement window in the back. I've done it several times when I was locked out and you even have a washer and dryer to land on!" No, that wouldn't be any fun for the idiots though. We were talking about garden raiding when we were kids and how a few nice people said just ask and they'd give us a bag of crabapples, carrots or whatever. They never tasted as good as the ones we snuck out of their gardens!

Pepper spray is also illegal and the cop told me that if one were to spray an intruder, they'd be charged for it. But he also intimated that someone with a disability would most likely get away with it. Of course you can't walk into your sporting stores and buy it; you have to refer to it as 'bear spray' which is now on my nighttable!

Quit worrying; I'm sore but Tylenol 3 makes it bearable. There is nothing worth stealing in this house and I'm just going to have to worry about you worrying about me! There is no way there will be a third time. And I've got the outside front light on, the living room on and the tv set with a timer, the lights on outside the side door and a sensor lamp on the patio. These idiots obviously prefer the daytime anyway.

Oh Cait.  I wish you would have taken up on the offer to stay there.  This is what, twice in three weeks?  And you could have been hurt much worse, especially since you know they took 2 big knives.I'll be worrying about you.

Wow. That alarm better get there fast! About the spray, I learned from an English police officer once (I was in England as part of a group of young people, and he was doing a talk to the group, about laws in England, such as pepper spray being illegal) that hair spray is just as effective on an attacker, but has the advantage of being legal (legal to own, in all countries I'd think, and if used in self defense would constitute justifiable violence in most places), and easy access too. Anyway, here's wishing you get better soon, and that the alarm come quick! (and as others have already said, I do wish you'd take up on the offer just while waiting for the alarm, that's not letting the fear win, it's just a sensible, temporary security arrangement). love/Reb>> Alarm should be in this week.

Dear CaitI'm relieved to hear the alarm is being installed soon and very relieved to hear you have your bear spray at hand! I haven't seen bear spray since I left Alaska:)I knew Canada had strict rules on guns because we had to get permits to take our rifles and shotguns through Canada. But the handgun was NOT allowed at all. I had my first rifle when I was 12. I don't personally own a gun now but there are guns in the house. In fact, a rifle in at the ready in the living room and a shotgun here in the parlor. Since the roaming dogs came and killed our turkeys we are ready to kill them when we see them again. But I know a lot of people are not comfortable with guns.Do you have a lot of bruises? I'm SO glad you didn't break any

Thought I'd better check in so Mom Sharon won't be worried. I'm here using a very old computer I pieced together. It only works for the basics. Life has been ridiculous ... my house was broken into AGAIN!

Now this is a nice area; only 80 houses with only one access. We're moderate to high income houses with teachers, hospital staff, nurses, business owners, etc. The ones with the big expensive homes moved on down the expressway so we lost the doctors, lawyers,etc. What I'm trying to say it's a good area, neighbors know and watch out for each other, and there are no riff raffy people here.

But again, sometime after 1 PM I was cleaning my bedroom and on the phone with . I heard some noises and then a big crash, stupidly told him someone was in the house and hung up. Actually he was just as stupid because he should have called 911 instead of trying to rush over here. I yelled at whoever was in my house and came hobbling down the hallway. I knew they were upstairs so that in itself was dumb. Anyway when I reached the end of the hallway, someone hig me on the head and pushed me down the friggin' stairs! Then they (I say they because I'm almost positive it was 2 guys) ran out the front door.

This time they threw a rock in the kitchen window (a triple thermoplane (sp?) and what a bloody mess! There was enough blood and glass all over the kitchen, tracked through the dining and living rooms, and the hallway and on the carpet going upstairs. That further implies it was 2 because they tracked two ways and on the main floor merely opened utility drawers in the kitchen and took two big knives. Their target was obviously upstairs.

Why me though???? This time it took the cops 6 hours to respond! I was taken to the hospital and they wouldn't let me come home for two days ... a mild concussion and the entire left side of my body is bruised and sore. wanted me to go to his house or he'd come here but I can't let myself be afraid to be alone in my own home! I'm still feeling like the whole thing was surreal.

I don't have anything worth stealing! Monday the adjuster is coming to check the countertops, tiles, hardwood, etc. for scratches, etc. cleaned up as best he could before I came home. Would you believe they say to wear gloves ... well duh, with all those glass shards I guess. And a mask which he didn't wear. That's because of the chemicals they use to get prints, etc. but they didn't tell me that last time.

Now supposedly there's a gang that have been breaking and entering our richer (well more mortgaged up to their eyeball neighbors). I assumed it was them again. But the police when they interviewed me asked all kinds of questions that kind of scared me. Do I have any enemies, do I owe anyone $, etc. etc. Considering I pay my bills on time, am limited socially by ms, I can think of no one. Well except for 'you know who' who I'm not concerned about.

Anyway, I've tons of emails but I really don't feel up to reading them right now. Oh I kept my appt with the dr and got my prozac back. Good thing I checked the rx before I left his office; he hadn't given me any repeats.

Hope everyone is okay and safe ... hugs, Cait

Yep to our gun laws being very different Sharon. Because of his son's drug charge, can no longer keep his rifle (he just goes partridge hunting a few times a year if that). He has his permit, etc. but now has to keep it at another registered gun handler's place. When they tore the house apart, they found bullets in the area he keeps all his fishing and sports equipment. That was apparently illegal storage of ammo. Rather than charging him, they just took the shells and he made a $200 donation to Shelter House.

Darran, my son in law, had to take a lengthy course before he could get his first hunting license. Proud as punch last year when he bagged his first moose.

And wow, you should see the exam you have to pass before being able to operate a boat, I mean any little kind! The questions were all about things you experience and see on the high seas! Thank goodness you could take it online with someone putting their shoes on the line swearing the applicant is doing it alone, has no notes, etc. Like what a joke ... a stupid way for the Ministry to make more $'s. Btw I (oops ) scored better than any of our friends! ... hugs, Cait
