[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I call BS. 
Where do you live that a security company has armed guards on standby? 
This also wasn’t an attempted burglary. It was a suspicious act. Someone walking around your house, while unusual and definitely concerning is not a reason to gosprinting to your attic in fear. 
Take it down a notch. 
You are the type of person who will accidentally shoot someone in fear. [/quote]

OP here. We moved from DC a few years ago (but I am still on DCUM). Yes, our large neighborhood has a private security company. I have never seen it in the DC area, but it is common in our new area.

I am certain that it was a burglary attempt. Nobody just walks on our property toward the back yard unannounced.

Many ultra-wealthy people live on our street, many with their own security guards either in a car in front of the house or stationed in their gate-house. Just because this is beyond your experience it does not mean that there aren't places like this in this country. [/quote]

So the thieves decided to pick the neighbor of the people WITH security guards? I think you want to be a target to show your level of achievement/success. That casual of a burglar - walking around, isn't looking for a $100k heist. They could get valuables more suited to their skills elsewhere. You also may just be paranoid.[/quote]

OP here. We live in the "poorer" section of the street, and there aren't any houses with guards within a good 300 yards of our house.

I find it really annoying that you people are trying to find "holes in my story", [b]as if I would waste my time trolling here instead of focusing on my work.[/b]
I simply wanted to convey that these incidents and the ongoing risk of burglary has changed our attitude about owning guns. [/quote]

Umm, that's exactly what you're doing.  Troll or not. [/quote]
