Some ******* (content filter likely filtered but it rhymes with bass whole, lol) just tried to break into my truck and my wife’s SUV in my driveway . ITS 8:34pm you mongrel! I am ticked. Cops caught him - I can see the cop cars across the street. I am super mad. We had a break-in when we moved in, I’m a bit protective of my family.

So sorry that happened.

We had some guy break into our garage, and steal a bunch of stuff from it (yes, it was locked but the door handle was almost broken so he broke it). We got a new door handle that night, and setup a security camera. The crazy dude came back the next night, tried to open the door, then walked away. We called the police the next day, showed them the footage, and they said they'd investigate it. He was filmed on other properties stealing literal children's bikes and riding them away. He was caught by the police, but we don't know what happened to him after that.

Good morning everyone. We recently installed security cameras. One day my husband and son where working on my barn building it and the neighbors Rottweiler chased a guy down from their house and the guy jumped up into my father in laws truck bed to get away from him. My husband yelled over to ask him what the heck he was doing the guy said he was supposedly looking for another neighbors house. Husband said he looked like a drug head which the neighbor he said was looking for we are pretty sure is a prescription dealer. I also have my conceal carry and never leave home without one. There are just too many crazy people in the world anymore.

PLEASE DON'T BUY A BIRD! Every single rescue in the U.S. is FULL and so many need good homes. We have them from the tiniest to the biggest.
Sun Conures can be loud. Although I have a Macaw who is so loud, he can be heard two blocks over. I can talk with anyone considering a new addition to their family and get you off to the right direction and the right people.

hope they didnt cause a lot of damage that you need to have your vehicles in the shop for. If you don't have them, I'd get a couple wireless cameras. I use the Nest and really like it. holds a long battery charge but has a function that saves power when its really cold out unless it's plugged in. but they sell some really long plug in power cord that you can run out a window. I also have one on the fish tank so I can see if it's running, the fish, and the temp. also has a alarm setting to recognize fire etc...and in theory "should" detect heater failure tones etc...

You want to keep the temperature as stable as possible, but for me 81 is too high.
