We got broken into while we were home

[PH47]

Yeh.. so.. living away from the city etc hasn't really helped..

We DID live in mount druitt.. being told daily how dangerous it is.. for years without a single problem EVER..

Then.. we move up to the wonderful blue mountains.. get a nice 2 storey place..

Last night.. playing Xbox in our games room (me and gf), music going.. etc etc.. finish up early AM go to kitchen turn lights off.. notice door open.. dont think anything of it (we have a cat we leave it open sometimes).. close it.. go to bed.

Today.. notice girlfriend cant find her handbag (usually hangs on a door knob in the hallway).. look EVERYWHERE.. specifically remembered it was there.. so I tell her to go look in the car "just in case!"..

She comes back in nearly crying.. freaked out.. says the car is open.. doors wide open.. been ransacked.. glovebox open.. stuff everywhere.. had been broken into..

Then think about the back door open .. all clicks together .. they broke into our car.. didnt find anything.. go around to backyard see door open.. sneak in.. steal her bag.. they wouldve KNOWN we were awake all the lights were on and the music was going..

This is while our 6yr old daughter is asleep behind the door right next to the one my gf's bag was hanging on..

So yeh.. right now I feel like i've been raped.. we're now getting security doors put in.. sensor-lights front and back.. and probably a zoned alarm..

Would NEVER have thought this would happen here :(

PS i'm not new to the area and naive.. i grew up here.. then lived down in the ghetto/druitt with my gf for a few years and now i got us to move back up here because i think of it as a safer place.. lots has changed!

The bit that gets me is I convinced my gf to move up here based on how safe it is.. how our neighbour and even I usually leave our car unlocked or at least a window open without caring.. and in the druitt we NEVER had a SINGLE issue with anyone.. nor did any of our friends.. and our first major issue is here in Leura.




I swear.. if i'd caught that guy i'd happily put up with some jail time.
