() scary is an understatement ..when i woke up and saw the pipes and window and stuff ...i screamed so loudly (it wasnt the thin high pitched sound btw ) i think it was a way of me letting them know if they were still around that i was awake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yikes sorry to hear that I don't wish that on anyone. I suggest you get a baseball bat and stun gun if you can or a real one if possible... I'm confused you already have bars on your window and they still tried to get in? If you don't I suggest you get some for your windows especially if you on the first floor. Also you can buy stand alone window alarms you can buy them online or some type of home depot store. You can get a decent one for like 20 dollars. This will also help you have piece of mind for sleeping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CK1Czar Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 I know how you feel. 4 years ago, I had someone break into my house while I was sleeping. I had my iPod in my ears playing music, so I didn't hear them at all. Luckily, they didn't bother me. The feeling of not feeling safe in your home is so scary. I couldn't sleep for days. It takes awhile to feel comfortable again, but you'll get there. I hope you remain safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
