Sorry to hear that Brother....
Like some one else posted .....theives should ahve their hands cut off......a couple of them and problem sovled......
I have no use for a theif......an cops......well they are their own breed......I am very leery of cops because as you said they were more intrested in investagating you rather than the crime.........remember your are guilty until proven innocent!........its not the other way around as they like to say it is.......................yes personal experience.........!!!!!!!!!!
One of the services I provide to my neighbors (cause I live such a dull life now a days) is when they go on vacation I pet sit for them...... they give me a key to their homes and the security codes etc......so that their pets can stay in their own environment and I go over and feed them and walk them and play / exercise them.....I love it.......
One of the things I feel strongly about is that especially in this situation
there are boundries that I absolutely do not cross!!!!! my
only place is the kitchen or living room / falmily room where ever their pets like to be and the front door (or maybe a garage if their food / leashes are out their).........I do not wander thru the house or anywhere else......and I respect thoes boundries!!!! I do not touch anything that does not involve something to do with the pet.......
I love the animals I sit for and they like me so it is a good relation ship......also the people I do this for are happy with me.......and THAT to me is worth GOLD........I take a LOT of PRIDE in this trust.....
I've been doing this now for at least 5 years and would not change a thing!
