Break-ins & decision

A neighbour’s house has just been ransacked. The took everything, watches, Jewellery, artwork etc.

With so many break-ins in my neighbourhood, and also having been a victim myself a few years back, I decided to keep only two expensive watches at home, one on my wrist and the other in the safe.

I moved all my watches now to a secure storage location - bit of a pain not to have my watches easily accessible but a huge relief in knowing that they’re much safer - and so are we in case some idiot decides to break in, as I WILL open the safe and press the panic button connected to the police.

They can then help themselves to some fake watches in the safe, and potentially one real one.

Oh dear, how low have I stooped!

Feeling good & not feeling good at the same time.

Sorry for your loss and theirs too.

By chance can you live somewhere safer? Perhaps your own personal safety is at risk, especially during a home invasion. Where else have you considered living?

The arrangement is adequate for now.
