Holy adrenaline! Our alarm went off this morning at 4 AM. In my disoriented state, I turned it off before I knew what was going on. (1st lesson learned).
I looked out the front door and saw nobody. Went to back door and peeked out and saw someone standing in the door of the garage holding a flashlight. Oddly, the alarm got far enough to trigger the external alarm and they still didn't run. I guess they knew they had time before police showed up.
Stupid comcast had our home address programmed in wrong, and the police went to the wrong address! (2nd lesson learned - double check if they have a directional indicator on your street - they had South and our house is North)
Police came and cleared the house and I can't find anything missing. I guess they didn't have time to locate our gps hiding in the car or rifle through the tools. We had 2 fairly nice bikes and expensive ski gear in the garage and they left them behind.
I kept wanting to go grab dd and hold her, but I let her sleep though the whole thing. I wanted to be able to hear if they tried to make a move to get in the house. This is another time that I am thankful that dd's bedroom is upstairs.
Anyone want to have a sleepover tonight? I don't know how I will sleep here alone again tonight

Re: OK here, but garage broken into when I was home alone with dd
I'm so happy that you and DD are ok and it wasn't anything more serious.

The trendnet security cams I use at home for babycams have day and night vision, two way audio and can be monitored online or by smart phones.. they are remotely controlled too which is nice and can be set to record to your hard drives.. Its nic eto have them for the munchkin but also for when we arent home.. and since hubby works nights he likes to be able to see whats going on while I sleep ..gives him peace of mind.
they are real easy to set up too... if you dont want to have to pay for a security company
